Dear Shy Girl,
I can't take back the reply I gave to you, however much I want to, because it's in print. What I can do, however, is apologise for what a b... I was, and write a proper reply to your relationship dilemma.
I was having a really crappy day when I went off at you like that, and I know that's no excuse for taking it out on you, but I am really sorry for it. I know I probably hurt your feelings, and I feel like a total heel about it. If I can make it up to you in any way, let me know, and I'll do it.
Now, for your relationship query – I'm getting the vibe that my usual recommended approach makes you feel too self-conscious, and that it's not something you'd feel comfortable doing. That's okay – if it's not you, don't push yourself to act that way. After all, another one of my tenets is that you should always be yourself.
And yet – nothing ventured, nothing gained. If you want him to notice you, you have to actually approach him and talk to him. You don't have to flirt, but you do have to say something. Strike up a conversation in Math class: ask to borrow a pencil from him, talk about how horrible Trig. is (a sure conversation starter), ask how his weekend was, anything.
It's a beginning – become friends and let him realise what a great person you are. If you like, once you get a bit more confident around him, you can try some of my usual tips. Wishing you the very best of luck,
Amy
