I can relate to the OP. Sometimes you just don't want to risk messing something up. The OP is lucky enough that she's into him. But maybe he's afraid he'll say or do something that will turn her off.
She's been trying to get my attention since September so I doubt it. Her signals are getting stronger too from the subtle glance every now and then to actually walking right in front of me (or behind me) and hitting my chair.
seriously. what are you scared of?
i kind of don't think you'll get rejected... u r probably afraid to put yourself out there. YOU are the one afraid of getting hurt and afraid of getting emotionally intimate in the real world (as opposed to your day dreams)
It's not always better to have loved and lost. Sometimes it's better to never love at all.
I couldn't disagree more. Sitting there like a lump of skin experiencing nothing life has to offer because of the risk of rejection or failure is the ultimate waste of life.

My past life experiences contribute to my fear of rejection. Not many girls are into me (that I know of). The last thing I need is for someone to confirm that they're not into me.

Whine whine whine. Oh look, I'm another young person who had absolutely zero dating luck in high school. No one ever had a crush on me. Hell, my date to the prom dumped me to go with a friend. And I was pretty miserable about it, but I didn't let it define me. I still had lots of friends and was a cool person with lots of hobbies and interests.
And then I went to college. And the dating scene at the college I went to? Either immediate long-term relationships or random hook ups. So not a lot of dating luck there either. But you know what? I went out, made friends, pursued my interests, met some nice people, and had a good time. Met a guy or two along the way, even, though I never ended up in a serious relationship.
And here I am, just out of college, still without a serious relationship under my belt (and hey, I was the one who got dumped in the single short-term relationship I had). But you know what I'm doing now? I'm going out with friends, pursuing my interests, working, having fun, flirting with guys even though it generally leads to nothing, and just generally enjoying being young. I figure that's the most attractive attitude I could have- I certainly won't have any more luck attracting guys by moping about how they're not into me. Seriously, man. You're 19. I know how it feels to feel ignored by the opposite sex, but you're not going to improve matters by whining about it. Just get out there, enjoy life, focus on what makes you happy. There are other satisfying things in life than being in a relationship. It'll happen when it will happen... And just chill and enjoy yourself till then.

I understand what you are feeling. I have never been loved by or in a relationship with a woman. It hurts and brings me down. At the same time, sitting here aged 29, I wish I had taken more chances when I was younger. I let one or two moments define me. Wish I could go back and change that. Trust me, it will only get harder. Now I must work to eat and provide shelter for myself. My odds of meeting someone now are so slim. Most of that is my fault. You can't force yourself upon girls and make them like you but you can give it an honest shot. Live it up while you can. You will regret it later if you do not.
