Tee hee...now he would get a kick out of that! Probably thinks I'm a dead fish!
I joked with him a little the other day. Pretty sure hat's what kicked off the "hey you" thing. He always gives me something when I open up, but then I retreat again. All those damn female admirers...aaarrrggghhh
"Has to be"? Many men look for reciprocal interest before putting themselves too far out there, as we have been reminded here many times. Also, it's pretty hard to proceed, and take the lead and maintain that lead, when the person you're with isn't able to do more than blurt out a few words, if that. The object of the guy's interest needs to be able to hold up her side of a conversation, unless the guy is one of those who runs off at the mouth and doesn't need any participation from his date. Shy women tend not to have success, unless they can come out of their shell at least a little.
Hmmm...This is why I'm suspicious. He's put himself out there quite a bit and hasn't received much in return. I'm pretty sure he would have given up by now? Maybe because I do give him a little something every now and then?
Say 'hey you' right back, and look him in the eye this time. I wish I could tell you more, but for me it really didn't get any easier until I actually went out with a guy. After that it got easier but I still had trouble here and there. Eventually I met my (now) husband senior year. By then I wasn't shy anymore and made all the first moves!
Good luck
ETA: Don't forget to smile!
Ok, seeing him today so I will take all advice and smile, talk...
Hopefully today won't be the day I learn he's engaged or something!
First moves?!! You're a brave one! Gah!!! I would die!
Thanks lol. Focusing on self-improvement now. Exercise, looking for a new part-time job, moving to a different place, etc. Dating s very far down on the list of things to get done, and/or expect. I did go on a few meet-and-greets. Set-ups. But I don't plan to do that again lol
But good-luck. Hope you land your guy. Because it doesn't seem like he's lost interest. So seems you already know he likes you. You got 1 foot in the door already.
You're welcome!
A meet & greet eh? That sounds like fun! Oh, right...scary ass ole me would be to afraid to go to one, lol.
If you don't mind me asking, why do you say you won't do it again? Promise I'm not trying to pry. Just curious.
Your self-improvement plan sounds amazing. You never know, the universe might just send you that special guy while you're just doing you.
Thanks for the encouragement. Just hope he's sincere.
was about to reply to the same post until i seen you already did
Why are you guys being mean to me? Lol. I meant lose his interest. I know I don't have him. Geez.
