So, I posted an earlier question about me liking someone, and I got a couple of answers. My question now is, well, you'd better read the original first...
There's this guy that I really like, and I know that he likes me too...
The thing is that we are both pretty shy. We first saw each other where he works and totally made a connection the minute we looked at eachother! Everytime I go into where he works, we talk a little, he says something like "wow, thats a really cool shirt" and I'll say "thank you" or something else small just to TRY and get us REALLY talking, but we haven't YET to get into a real conversation because we are both just so nervous! This has been going on for about 2 months now, I don't go in there THAT often maybe ever 2 weeks, but it never fails, everytime I'm in there he so obviously nervous but we both still attempt to say SOMETHING to eachother! So, last weekend me and my mom ran into a fast food place to grab something, and low and behold, guess who was in that restaurant at the same exact time?! HIM! My mom said the only way to describe him was that he looked like he was going to "pee in his pants!" We kept shotting glances and little smiles at eachother, but thats it. So, with the suggestion of my mom, I wrote him a letter saying that "...I've never done this before... I don't know if you have a girlfriend but if you don't, here's my myspace and cell phone number so that we can talk out side" [of where he works]. I was to nervous to give it to him myself so I had my mom and little sister go buy something at the store he works at, and then give it to him, from me, as if I were at work and wasn't able to! I wasn't at work, like I said, I was just SO nervous. So, he got the letter a week ago. In your opinion, how long should it take for him to respond? We're both so shy so I don't know WHAT to do! What would you do in order to pursue someone you liked if you were both shy, and he hasn't responded to a letter? Do I give the letter more time or move on to a new strategy? Also, I'm 21, so I would need some advice on how to handle this situation other than how you would handle it in say, high school! Thanks for your opinion! Its greatly appreciated!
My question now is how do I fix the situation with the letter? I've gotten some people saying that me having my mom and sister give him the letter may have freaked him out! I wanted in no way to do that! I know that I'll probably have to bring myself to go into the store, but I'm a terribly shy girl and the thought of walking into a store, because theres NO WHERE else to talk to him, and the possibility of other people being around, etc, FREAKS ME OUT!!!!!! Some suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Whether it's a different way to handle the situation, a suggestion on how to handle my shyness with him, or an EASIER WAY to handle this!, it would be SO appreciated! Thank you!
