Like a guy but get painfully shy

    Some might think it's ridiculous but my issue is that there is a guy who I see through work every now and then and I quite like him. I will see him this week but the thing is I turn into an idiot when I'm around someone I like. I stumble over my words, go red, stay quiet and become clumsy.

    The thing is when I don't like guys I'm pretty outgoing and get on well with them. I can be in a group of guys and have no problem having a laugh with them. But once I like someone I tend to completely tense up and seem like I have no personality.

    I was wondering if people had any advice on how to overcome this. What do you do?

    Deep breaths, try your level best to relax. There are no hard and fast rules, it will be hard.

    but just give it a shot.

    As a man, I've found myself in this situation numerous occasions as a boy of sixteen to eighteen or so.

    i wont venture into the psychological aspect of it such as low self-esteem or poor social skills as I don't think it applies to you although these can often be the culprits, so the best advice I can offer you is to get into as many of these situations as possible until one day soon you'll actually find yourself completely relaxed in the presence of that chap and henceforth it'll cease to be an issue.

    Do you believe you can do this? Your chances of rejection can often decrease should you manage to.
