Huge Crush

@Melancholia2000 You only live once, so might as well take risks, right? If you really want something, sometimes you just have to go get it. Get to know him! Try to develop a friendship and see where it goes from there. Don't be shy! Be confident, you can do it.

I know how difficult the situation is for you spending time with your crush. But you're not being stupid, you are just shy. It is natural, completely natural. And as Skyler said, you only live once so don't miss the opportunity because you might regret it in the future.

In terms of advice, confessing your feelings directly is a huge step and might even lead to rejection, so take small steps. There is no step too small, talk to him more, add him on social media, try to become his friend, join in on his projects, try to listen to him, etc. Don't overdo it though, like don't text him more than he texts you, that is usually one of the hugest mistakes. Don't annoy him, like if he says he doesn't want to talk or he is or seems busy, respect that.

There are plenty of tips and if you are going through anxiety alongside with your shyness, then it's probably best you talk to a listener on here who have gone through a similar experience, maybe a male listener that way he can tell you what you may be doing right or wrong. If you would like, contact me. I specialize in social anxiety and I would love to help you figure out how to ultimately let your crush now how you feel.

Best wishes,

Prio.

@Melancholia2000 I'm actually in a kind of smiliar situation and the best advice I can give is to just be yourself and talk to him when you're ready. Guys like girls who can be themselves!
