when you like someone, what do YOU do?

yxk01 · Feb 21st, 2008, 01:06 AM

So we all have crushes, but I think we all handle them differently. Normally, I am the super shy type who never says anything to the person (I only talk about them incessantly to my friends, ha!). When you like someone, what do you do? Do you straight up let them know you're interested and ask them out? Do you flirt and flirt until they catch on and hope that they will make the first move? Or nothing at all?

Oh and here's another interesting question. Do you act differently around them? Me-I ask tons and tons of questions about them because I just wanna know everything about them. My friends know when I start asking questions like...
What's your middle name? Favorite color? Movie?
they know I'm interested. (Yes, I know I'm weird!)

I'm pretty bold when it comes to guys I like. I grew up with a brother so I'm not intimidated by men at all. Unfortunately, sometimes that scares them away but it usually works in my favour! When I think about how obnoxious I was around my boyfriend when I liked him, I get so embarrassed! For a long time he thought I was this boy-crazy flirty girl that he couldn't trust! Now I have calmed down. If I didn't have a bf and liked someone now, I would probably talk to him, get to know him and flirt a lot but wait for him to make the first move.

I am SUPER shy around guys that i'm interested in!! I was so shy around my bf when I first met him, that it took me six months to actually talk to him!! And in the end my friends had to push me to talk to him, too! Luckily he was still available and was also interested and asked me out :)

Which is really funny cuz around any other guy that i have absolutely no interest in I am definitely just one of the guys.

yxk01 · Feb 21st, 2008, 01:31 AM

Haha!daphodill84, you sound just like me! I'm just one of the boys around the guys I don't like, too. But then, the minute you put me around someone I like, uh, I start spilling things, tripping, and saying things that make no sense. So it's always guys that I am not interested in that end up liking me!

devoted · Feb 21st, 2008, 01:37 AM

I am not shy, but I don't approach the guy I like. I would try to get him interested in me so then he'd be the one doing the pursuing. If he wouldn't ask me on a date, then I would forget all about him. I really must have a phobia about chasing men, just the thought of asking a guy for his phone number, or asking him on a date, makes me feel sick for some reason.

Thankfully, there have been plenty of guys pursuing me, prior to me dating the SO, so I never had to worry about it....if not I would be single for the rest of my life

Doll yourself up and FLIRT!!! If it doesn't work then the guy's just a loser

Zophie · Feb 21st, 2008, 02:26 AM

I sort of freak out when I like a guy. It's like a feel weak and I don't want him to know. I'm getting a little more open with my feelings as I get older, but no where near where I would actually tell the guy. I worked with a cute guy recently and told my brother. My brother goes, "Why didn't you get his number or ask if he has a girlfriend?" I was like "NO WAY! I'd rather die!"

Pinkcaviar · Feb 21st, 2008, 02:30 AM

I'm not shy around guys, because I hang around so many of them as friends.

But Im always shy to the ones I really like and don't know very well. And I don't approach them because I can get very awkward too (talk too fast, trip, etc) like some of the girls here. (I thought everyone does that!

)

When I was working 2 years ago, I met this very gorgeous Swedish guy with the cutest accent. He was just visiting Canada and I kept rambling on to him about our province. He was so friendly to talk too that when he finally left, I felt soo silly! I wanted to ask him for a coffee break but couldnt get the guts too.

I need to start approaching the boys I like and see how it works out for once!

Me too!!! I am so at ease around men. I can banter back and forth, tease, flirt and get along with anyone I am not interested in. However, if I like someone, I am contrary. I maintain an absolute poker face and by no indication would they know I like them! They could easily believe in fact that I didn't like them. But then I obsess to my friends and mom about the person

, try to find out everything I can about them and just

all day.

wordpast · Feb 21st, 2008, 08:59 AM

I'm not shy at all. I'm all for flirting!

lilflobowl · Feb 21st, 2008, 10:44 AM

I don't do anything other than talk to them more often! But that's all I do unless I have a strong feeling that the feeling is reciprocated.

Frances Bean · Feb 21st, 2008, 12:25 PM

Try to look my best around him, smile at him, and make him laugh. But I'm shy and will ignore him most of the time. I won't ask too many questions because I don't like when a guy knows I'm really interested in him when I'm unsure how he feels about me.

LOL. Loves it

Depending what I'm going through in my everyday life, I can range from bold to shy. But on the whole, I'm a control freak, so that would make it more likely for me to approach, then wait for a guy
