Everyone has a story. Here’s just one of mine.
Posted on 10. Aug, 2007 by Michael in Embarrassing Moments, Increase Your Confidence
Don't let shyness keep you from meeting a beautiful girl.
I remember it like it happened yesterday. I was 19 and hanging out at the mall with my friend Jason. As we were leaving the Suncoast movie store, I saw her; a beautiful blond girl walking with her friend. I was dumbfounded by her beauty and couldn’t take my eyes off of her. She was the type of girl that makes a guy start imagining what married life would be like. She walked right by me and I didn’t say anything.
Minutes later I was kicking myself because I was to afraid to talk to her. I told myself that if I saw her again before my friend and I left the mall, I would talk to her.
Minutes later, I saw her again. She walked right by me. Again, I said nothing because I was afraid. What was I afraid of? I was afraid she would find me unattractive, afraid she would laugh in my face, afraid of making a fool of myself in front of my friend. My friend and I left the mall and literally for months afterward I kept thinking, “What if?”
That was one of the many reasons I became fed up with my fear and decided to change; to become more courages with girls. You can do it too!

Dude, i had like chances with certain chicks, but i made the same dumb mistake 3 times! the first was this girl in the park who kept smiling at me, so i smiled back (did i mention she was hot), but after like an hour or 2. i had to leave with my friends, so i asked my friends if i can get their myspace for we can do this again sometime. And what did I know! the moment i reached my female friend to get her myspace page, the hot chick walked right up to me, about to speak, but saw my friend write something down on the piece of paper for me. She probably thought it was her phone number. Why? cuz she walked away immediatly! What was I thinking!?

So about 2 years ago my school went on a class trip to San Fran and it was like a 5 hour flight to and from Milwaukee. On the airplane ride back, i sat next to this hot chick from my school that i really liked and we talked for like an hour. Then the next day at our school track meet she would look at me and smile whenever she seen me, but I was to shy to ask her out or even talk to her. So to this day I still think “what if I actually did something about it?”

Man that’s rough! I know your pain. The only thing we can do now is to use that pain as a teachable moment. It teaches us to never delay. It teaches us to seize the day!

At one of my classes in a lecture hall, we had random seating. As it turned out a hot girl sat next to me. Neither of us said anything to each other for weeks. One day, the professor announces to the whole class something like the following: “Every day I come in here you all are sitting in the same seats. You know, you can sit anywhere you want.” Most students moved the next day, but me and the girl I was sitting next to didn’t move. In retrospect, I believe that meant we both liked being near each other. Incredibly, neither of us said anything to each other for the entire semester. I try to use this story as motivation because it haunts me to this day.

hello AoG
i love this site i just found it a day ago and i think im really going to change with your help….
my dumb mistake was like this..
me and a few friends went out of town on some mountain for 5 days
and there was this girl with us
first 4 days were awsome we hod lots of fun and all that and that chick (pretty hot i must say) was non stop near me….we became good friends and was doing everything with her…initially i didnt feel anything for her but after first 2 days it changed…i was crazy in love and that was killing me…her blue eyes were outrageous…uhm never mind, let me go on.so yeah i think (just think) she liked me bcuz we was doing everything together…..but i couldnt ask or tell her anything on this subject…..so 4th day came it was all good blah blah she still hitting on me and by the end of the night it was diffrent…it was like she never knew i was there and she was looking at me like i was a monster.last day i asked her female friend what happened with her that she aint talkin to me like before and she said that she was mad at me becuz i didnt tell her what i feel for her and she was thinkin i didnt like her. and since then we aint talkin like before….i was just too afraid/shy to ask her.so i still dont know if that was a lie just to make me suffer or she really liked me and was mad cuz i she thought i didnt like her…so now we are almost not talking at all
and since then whenever im near her i feel like crap and i have the feeling like ive been betrayed…but its all my fault…im still thinkin what if…..
sorry for the long story but at least i know someone is listening to my pain…
much love from romania and keep it up with the good advice…
oh and sorry for my bad english

So one time me and a group of my friends were having a party at one of their camps. We were all drinking and having a great time. I started talking to this girl that I had a crush on for years… well next thing I know we are getting on to an intertube and pushing off into the middle of the lake. As we floated away from the shore I was sure that this was the moment where I would finally have the courage to kiss her. Well as we got to the middle of the lake and it was time to go in for the kiss I froze. So I stalled and started talking about anything to keep the conversation going instead of doing what we both wanted to do. She finally got tired of just talking about nothing and we paddled back onto the shore. Within a month she had a boyfriend and I never got another chance with her. It definitely taught me to just man up cause otherwise you just find yourself replaying the situation over and over and over and over.
This site is legit keep up the good work!

Here’s my tale that I will share: Long ago, in my days of high school, I had a big crush on this girl named Sarah. She was the typical intelligent, athletic, and headstrong blonde girl. Something about her just struck me in the hardest part of my brain that would not let me annunciation syllables into words when I was around her. After going through the suffering and various tests of my patience and building of my self-esteem, I finally moved on because of her. I saw that the typical “guy” she went for wasn’t some person I wanted to become. So it would never work out for me. I believe, because of her, she has made me realize the wonderful world outside of high school. That there are tons of girls out there that have no absolute idea who I am, and that opportunity is just knocking away. Although she was smart, she wasn’t up to my intellect. I happened to not surpass her in book smarts, but in street smarts.So if anyone is ever at that point where they’re affixed on one person, use this to your advantage. Take the experience you’ve had trying to pursue that one person and channel it through the world to meet other people. You never know who you might run into.

I work with this girl. Who everytime I saw her we would smile at each other. I was always to afraid to talk to her. Then finally when I did talk to her I found out that she had recently gotten back together with her boyfriend. And I found out that if it wasn’t for that I would have been in. And now im stuck in the what if…inbetween friends and more

I was at this movies/mall place with my friend who was in a relationship. It was just me and him chilling, we just got out of this movie. We were in 7th grade. There was this group of like 4 extremely hot girls that were chilling and they looked at us and smiled. We smiled back, they came over, and started a conversation, and in like 5 seconds, asked if one of us had a dollar to go into the photo booth and take pics and stuff with them. My friend called his mom who was waiting outside to pick us up and was like “Hey Mom hold up for like 10 minutes, something came up”, then he pulled me aside and was like “Dude, I’m in a relationship, and I’m faithful, BUT THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO SHINE!” I was so afraid and nervous, that I just said to the girls “No sorry, I don’t have a dollar”, and walked out to my friend’s moms car, and kicked myself for the rest of the night

Hi,
I need some help with this girl that I like.
Here’s the story: About October 2010, this girl transferred to our school from another school in the same school district. When I first saw her, I couldn’t believe how beautiful she was. I started talking to her because she was shy, but now I can’t handle just being friends. I know she is interested in cooking, and I know how to cook, but I also know that she has a friend who is into it just as much as she is, and this friend is a guy. She also hangs out with this total jerk and I can’t get her attention long enough to talk to her because of him. I don’t want to let her slip through my fingers because I’ve never felt so strongly for a girl before. What do I do?!?!?!?!?! Help me, please!!

I have a story.
I remember it like it was a month ago, cause it was, and a year. I’ve been going to school with this girl since 1st grade. It is 8th grade I have a few classes with her, English, Geometery (math), Americian history, and Science. I sit next to her in Engligh, math, Americian history, and Science. I would talk to her in class; the hallway, anywhere I could. I was friends with most of her friends and she knew me. But every time we got into a conversation, I would mess up. Americian history we talked about a movie, then a book, and then a kid we knew. But no mater what I did she just wouldn’t hang out with
Me anywhere. So I let her go, to stay just friends. Then talked to her friend and got to know her same classes but I joined Drama club to hang out with her. I got to he good friends with her, but then it went downhill. I got a text from someone saying they followed her home from school, I tell her that to warn her. But they didn’t believe me, they thought I was lying and then she and All her friends hated me. It sent me into a depression and I became sucidiL and still am, I finally told her what she made me deal with the depression and she didn’t care but when she found out about sucide she did. I thought she actually cared, but when I talk to her again she says she don’t care. No I am ruined with all friends and they hate me and don’t care
