There’s a shy girl at my school who I’ve fancied for quite a while, cute and intelligent. Unfortunately, I’m pretty shy myself, and, though I have many friends, my quietness has labelled me as an ‘outcast’ as it were. And, although I am shy, I tend to put on an outside character of boldness, because it merely makes things flow a bit smoother.
I sometimes get the feeling she does things that show she likes me, but it could just be occasional sides of her I don’t see (due to her shyness, obviously), or I could be misinterpreting.
I’m quite good with getting along with people, save for one key problem, that I lack anything to talk about, in a conversation, I can never find something to talk about, which tends to make me get along well with outgoing, talkative people better. The girl I like is quite shy, so I encounter two problems.
1) Most obviously, I struggle to find things to talk about with her, I can’t really get close to someone I fail to talk to.
2) My bold character often scares her off, as she has verbally said before.
I’d ask her on a date outright if I had the courage and the ability to talk about things with her, but as I see it, getting close to her as a friend is probably the best way.
I get the feeling I’ve written this in ‘bits’, so I wouldn’t be surprised if something didn’t make sense, I’ll be happy to elaborate on any part misunderstood or miswritten.
Thanks for reading.
