I don’t dare to talk to a boy, what should I do?

I’m so frustrated as there’s someone in 10th grade who I really like! I talked to him a lot the first time I met him at school, and he was so kind and funny too, but I haven’t talked to him after that, and I don’t know why. Now it’s about two months since then, and we’ve seen each other in the corridor but we haven’t talked to each other, and I don’t know why not. I think about him a lot, and I don’t know what to do! I don’t dare to talk to him as I’ve never had a male friend before, and I’m so frustrated as I don’t have a chance of being with him, no boys have ever liked me! What can I do? (I’m in 9th grade and he’s in 10th.)

Hi,

One time has to be the first time, and remember the saying that ‘nothing ventured, nothing gained’. Even though you haven’t had any boy friends before, this doesn’t mean that no boys have liked you. You can’t know that; boys are also shy and think that it’s hard to make friends. For example does everyone you have liked, know that you liked them?

The most important thing you can do is to be yourself. It can be a help to talk positively to yourself so that you like yourself more and this will also help you to become more secure, and bolder. Be brave, and smile at him the next time you meet in the corridor. The next time you can say hi and ask how things are going. Most people think it’s nice when people smile and talk to them. Don’t be afraid, and remember that there isn’t such a big difference between boy and girl friends. Try to see him as a person you want to get to know better and be friends with.

Good luck.
