Hi there everyone. This is my first post. Been getting the newsletter for about 6months now, and its been helpful. But I'm in a bit of a bind. Lemme explain the situation.

I work at a grocery store, where there are a lot of hot, cool girls. And there’s one girl in specific. She worked there last winter, and I never really got to know her. She's beautiful, and I'm kind of heavy so I figured she wouldn’t ever be interested in me. So over the summer, she worked somewhere else, and I continued to work at the same place. Over the summer, I opened up quite a bit and became much more of a confident person.

So when she came back to work there in September, I figured I'd try it out and see what happened. It worked out great, we became really good friend and every second we could we would talk to each other. As time went by, it became more and more flirty, a lot of eye contact, smiling, always looking at each other and laughing at the faces we make at each other. Until eventually, the touching was even more playful and even intimate, and then she said the magic words "I love you". The next day she came into work, she looked like a million bucks, wearing the best clothes she had, make up, nails done, jewelry, hair, everything. She was even flirtier, not in the goofy way, but in the romantic kind of way.

But here lies the problem. As the day went on, I became nervous about the whole thing. My entire life I never would expect a girl like that to see anything in a guy like me, so I was getting nervous and worried that I'd **** it up somehow, say something stupid. Then I started second guessing my words, and because I was nervous about it I said stupid **** anyways, acted weird, not myself. So that night on AOL, I told her I wanted to talk to her about something, but I wanted to do it in person. At that point she started mentioning another guy, yet I'm pretty sure she's single from what I can tell. And ever since that night she’s showed much less interest in me, usually acting kind of quiet when shes at work, whereas we use to talk all the time, and not wanting to talk to me as much. I think she still may like me since every once and a while I catch her staring at me, and acting like we use to together.

But still, no matter how many times I tell myself to stay cool and suave, I get nervous and still act like a jackass. So, what I'm asking for here is some advice. I was going to tell her flat out how I feel about her, and explain to her why I acted so different, hoping that once its off my chest, I would just be myself cause I got nothing to worry about cause she knows how I feel. I went to my best friend for advice and he said keep cool, don’t mention the love thing, and pretend it never happened, act like the way I use to, and treat it like a friendship, and if it ever does take off like it did before, just keep cool and don’t worry, don’t rehearse what your going to say to her like I've been doing lately, and so on. But before I make a decision I wanted to come here, cause I know how knowledgeable many of you are with these situations. Some help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot

What you say, how you say it, how you behave or how nervous you are means little. The reason you're so worked up over it is because you do not want to 'lose'. If crashing and burning is of no real consequence to you, you'll be doing whatever you fancy.

Here's another thing. Even if you do not want to 'lose', you actually have very little control over it. Plus the fear of losing this girl's interest should only apply to those that you really like. If you really like this girl, then do what your heart desires. She's no longer a girl you just want to bang. She's no longer a girl you just want to fool around with.

So tell me, how do you want to come across to a person like her?

Like me, like myself. I use to act like myself around her, and I really started to like her, and that didnt phase me. But when she started to show what seems to be romantic interest in me, I choked up. And latley she has seemed to have much less interest in me. So I wanna be me, cause before she said she loved me I was just me, and we got along great. But now, the more I see her and the more it seems shes not interested with me, the more I get nervous about it all and act like a jackass. So I'm not sure what I should do exactly.

I suppose you could then kinda conclude that you being nervous is one of the reasons she seems to be losing interest. You know it's better to crash and burn by being you. Wouldn't it really suck if you crashed out because you were not 'being you' and now you can't take it back because she's totally lost all interest and she could have been interested in the 'real' you?

Always choose the better way. Although the outcome is never guaranteed, at least you will be assured that it wasn't your fault since you were just being you.

Women are creatures of social proof. Become close with the other attractive girls, and then the one you like will see you as a desireable commodity. Also, this method will help to fend off the oneitis and not put her on a pedestal.
