Thank you!  It's true if I am interested I should show some interest and I would like to and have a few quick times but not enough contact I guess.  I end up avoiding all eye contact and only looking from the corner of my eye.hahahaa.  In a way I understand it's fear, rejection, letting go of the past and just being comfortable with myself.  I feel like I'm building up to that point but wow it is and has take some time.  This helped so much because I was stuck in my picture but and wanted to understand why I put up this wall and this helped me clarify all of that.  It is strange and awesome how someone can affect your whole life and emotions.  It's been quite a long time of me looking from afar so I guess I'll start with batting the eyelashes and a sweet smile.  It's time to take the chance.  

Thank you all so much!!! <3 <3 <3

Go! Go! Jay! Fingers crossed and enjoy it.  

Society frowns on women taking the first step in building a relationship. But sometimes, relationships do not happen, because men have the same anxiety that women have, except: it's multiplied 10 times. I still have approach anxiety, but try to reduce it by daily talking to beautiful wom... erm... girls. I'm not the greatest conversationalist, but I try to do my best. I usually wait the girl to give me 3 IOIs - (Indicators of interest as referred to, by another great community I'm into), usually unconscious actions such as she playing with her hair or gazing at me - then push the relationship forward. - If you like him and do not display such IOIs, then he thinks you don't even want to be around him. He may be overwhelmed. If you don't do such things unconsciously, then do them consciously, while trying not to be obvious.

I also have one problem to which I seek a cure immediately: Due to the nature of my one-way love in the past, I've become quite insensitive to love right now and do not feel it even when I should. Am I too afraid to just... let it go?

i don't exactly why we have crushes, but one thing i can tell you for sure, it has got something to do with our background.

But doesn't it feel good to have a crush... I mean the period when you are going through it... especially the first one ;) I still remember mine... and I never spoke to him for years. But it still gives me a warm feeling when I think about all the harmless teasing and giggling I guess girls will be girls
