First, the world is not ending so calm down. Desperation is like blood in the water for boys. Nothing is less attractive unless you're looking for a quick conquest.

Second, if he wants you to talk to him, then there really is no pressure. He's not going to freak out on you or ignore you since he's already expressed interest in starting up a dialogue.

Third, being a pathetically shy person myself I learned to do one thing to get past it: don't rehearse the greeting. The more you try to think about what you're going to say, the more nervous and awkward you're going to be. Talk to him on the spur of the moment, and talk about stuff that interests you. Don't try to be the ultimate conversationalist, just try to get the conversation started. If you honestly don't have anything in common and can't find anything to say... then you're probably better off not talking anyway.

Not sure if that helps, but it sounds like you just need a pep talk and some courage. You might want to get a friend involved to cheer you on... and to be a life line.

If you both like each other, I don't really understand the problem? You don't have a problem talking to him by text so what is the difference, is it because of school? What about meeting after school at a local coffee shop or talk to him after a football game. Just be honest with him and tell him that you are shy and you are trying to get over it. He might giggle, but it just means that he is flattered. Good Luck

Just tell him you are shy. He'll understand, in fact he'll probably just think its cute. Dont leave him hanging thinking that you arent into him because youll lose him. If you like him go talk to him. Once you get pass that first courage part youll be just fine. You wont want to regret it years from now. Go for it! good luck

Okay, first, calm down.

It's clear that he already likes u and rly wants to talk in person. =]

So just start talking to him about something u know you both like.

Like a certain band, movie, song, etc.

And don't cross ur arms when ur around him, no matter how uncomfortable & nervous u may feel.

Crossing ur arms just makes u look like u dont wanna talk..

And try talking in an upbeat, cheerful voice.

Try not to be too quiet.

But above all, just be yourself.

Be truthful, tell him your shy or he will think your weird.

Face your shyness else you will miss out. I was terribly shy and boys thought I was aloof.

Text him and ask him to join you for a coke, coffee. You don't have to say a lot just be a good listener. If he likes sports, ask him about his favourite team or some other interest.

Good luck

Hes going to think you are playing games by not talking to him in person and only thru text. Thats making you look silly. Just talk to him...its no big deal. I mean its not like you have to worry about being rejected if hes ASKING you to talk to HIM! Just talk to him the same way you do over texting. And dont play games cuz you will just lose his interest.

Tell him ur really shy and wish u could speak to him. Then practice speaking to him in ur mirror then just at school say hi. Eventually ur vocabulary to speaking with him will happen. It will just take time!! He will probally understand!!!

nicely, if hes a competent buddy of yours, i wouldnt take the possibility cuz it could decrease to rubble your relationship, yet while hes in basic terms a chum, then bypass forward and ask him if hed % to hangout after college or something, he gets the photograph ; )

ask him to meet you after school go to the mall or something if ye are by yourself it will be easy er to talk to him talk about school and your hobbies i no its hard but if you really like this guy you will

just talk to him if u make a fool of yourself he wont cre cuz u said he already likes u so if u get nervous he will prob think it is cute \
