Question
I'm a sophomore in high school and there is this girl that I like. I have lunch and English with her and we also go to the same church. I used to be able to talk to her with no problem, then I realized that I liked her and I get nervous every time I'm around her. Just a couple months ago, we did a group project together and I kept making her laugh, but I can't do that anymore because I don't know what to say! I have her cell # and she has mine. The other problem is that I think she likes this one dude that goes to school too. I heard a few people talking awhile ago and they said that he has a girlfriend and it's not her. She just clings to him like a leech. I don't know what to do. When anyone talks to me like when I'm walking down the hall, I just keep looking forward trying to get where I want to go. When she says something to me, I stop and look her straight in the eyes any time she says something to me. I have a problem looking people in the eye when I talk to them, but not her. I need a whole lot of advice and suggestions... got any??

Answer
Definitely.

Stop being so available. As you see demonstrated before you every day, and in life. The guy who has a girlfriend and "it's not her" has all her attention.

You yourself should meet some more girls; the worst outcome of all this is that some time you may actually forget her.

Hope This Helps,
