Rant about what happens to you IRL here. Don't post real names though.

So it's the 4th of July, and I went to hang out at a friends house with some other of his friends. Let's call my friend "Bob". We have a good time, talk, play Frisbee, etc.

We decide to go to a neighbors party that we go to every year. Some really cute girl my age comes(let's call her Kelly) and sits down next to me. She's a friend of Bob. I'm really, really shy, so I don't really bother to introduce myself or even say hi. I also struggled just to look at her out of shyness.

We talk as a group for a while about various things(Me, my friends, the girl.) I didn't notice this until later, but she was very clearly trying to sit next to me.

She would always sit next to me, even when being offered a chair elsewhere(she was sitting on the ground, as was I) She only accepted a chair when it was one next to me.

She was also quite abnormally nice to me, in a way I can't explain. The tone of her voice, how she talked to me as compared to everyone else, etc.

My friend's friend(let's call him Steve) is also single, and he is very clearly trying to get to know her. But he isn't shy like me. He's trying really hard. Talking to her a lot, all of that. And based on what others were saying when Steve/Kelly weren't with us, she didn't like him that much. But he isn't gonna give up. He's not shy at all.

So it's about time for the fireworks, and we go to this great spot we use every year. We have a blanket we brought(no one wants to sit on grass), and Kelly moves over and offers for me to sit next to her. So I do. Steve is sitting in front of me.

This is where I get REKT. Steve tells me "Oh, I'm a bit taller than you, you wanna switch spots? I might block the view of the fireworks". So I switch without thinking, not even realizing his ulterior motive or what I was even doing. Holy **** he's so smooth, switching to sit with her while making it look like a kind act instead of one out of desperation.

I didn't even realize it until I had already switched. And to make things worse I did it so abruptly and so carelessly that it made it seem like I don't even like her. The fact that I immediately had a conversation with someone else after made it seem like it had to happen.

I'm so ****ing smooth lol. Probably won't see her ever again, there's a decent chance she liked me too. I really liked her. Biggest failure I've had yet. I'm so shy and incapable of talking to girls, its sad. And I'm 18 years old...

I feel you man, honestly I was a really shy guy when I was 6-13 years old, but nowadays I'm just a very talkative guy, btw if your wondering I'm sixteen.

Ok so there's this girl I really liked in my Elementary School, we were both in first grade. Man I really liked her a lot but never had the courage to tell her how I felt, anyways I knew I woulda said something to her one day like hey, I really like you, but I couldn't. The reason for this is because I was in Special Education Classes at the time, and she was in Regular Education Classes, so it made me feel as if I couldn't or shouldn't talk to her because maybe, just maybe, she is hoping to fall in love with a smarter guy. So that's one reason I never talked to her. Man I still remember all the years I let pass without talking to her, from First Grade to 8th grade. Obviously a lot of people liked this girl I liked because she was very pretty and attractive, plus I was in a small school meaning this school never really had that many students meaning of course she would be one of the most prettiest girls in the school. Here's the sad part, sixth grade is when she figures out I like her, but no I wasn't the one that told her, it was one of my friends, I told them how I felt about this girl, and I also told them not to tell anyone I liked this girl and I also told her to keep it a secret. But she's a girl after all and couldn't keep it a secret, so she goes and tells my crush that I liked her and she walks up and tells me, "Hey is it true you like me?", I get really nervous and then I see my friend in the back laughing, the girl I liked was standing right in front of me, I was speechless, I didn't know what to say. Then she said "It's ok if you like me". I didn't say anything so she obviously just walked away from me. But then my friend did something so horrible. You see this girl I liked was one of the prettiest in my school, so my friend asked her hey, who do you like more, John (Me) or Tyler (Some Prick), and she says "Of course it's gonna be Tyler". At that moment I felt really bad. I knew she would never like someone like me. I wasn't mad at my friend though, I'm actually glad she told this crush I had that I liked her, but she didn't like me back. She began dating Tyler in the seventh grade and I had just really gave up on women after that. I graduated right by her side in the eighth grade, and I'm currently in the exact same High School she's in. Man I wish I would have just told her something in the First or Second Grade, man I'm so stupid, now in High School though I'm a very talkative person and not as shy, and I don't get red when talking to girls.
