Gah...

Yeah.. not much of a title.. But that's how I feel right now.. Lately I've become more social and I can actually strike up a conversation with people (I still struggle with certain people though)...Anyways.. I suck at reading girls, in the sense that I have no clue what certain actions they make mean.. As of right now I could name at least two girls who I think like me.. But I really have no clue and don't want to screw anything up.. This one girl who is probably the hottest girl in my school seems interested in me, but even though she's single, I've seen her all over all different guys.. So yeah, I really have no clue.. And there's another girl, who isn't exactly the hottest girl in the world, but I really like her for who she is, and I think she likes me back, but again I can't tell... I mean they seem to leave subtle hints but I really can't tell.. The first girl I mentioned keeps asking my math teacher if she can sit next to me, and I find it absurd that she wants to move, b/c she's surrounded by one of her really good friends and this guy who seems to flirt with her every day... And the other girl occassionally (more or less rarely) tries to strike up conversations with me, and is one of the few girls who isn't friends with one of my friends who actually talks to me... She also seems to stare at me a lot.. But again, not sure what that means... I think I'll probably be girlfriendless for the next few years anyways, not b/c I'm not attractive but b/c I'm not very social and though I'm "mysterious", I'm not a very interesting person.. I know there are girls out there who like shy guys, but still.. I just always put myself down and think that I suck.. I'd say about 60% of the guys in my grade have a girlfriend, and I kind of feel left out (though of all my friends [I don't really have a shitload of 'em], only one guy has a girlfriend, and only one girl has a boyfriend)... :/ Hmmm.. Yeah, more or less a rant.. There is also another girl similar to the second girl mentioned, but she flirts with everyone, and though she tries to flirt with me, it isn't easy b/c I have no clue what to say.. :/ I either respond nervously or just act uninterested (when I really am not).. I just don't know what to do or how to overcome my "fear".. :/

In my opinion, the second girl probably does like you, and you need to be careful with the first one. She could be perfectly nice, but she does sound a lot like some girls I know who are really just bitches on the inside. So just be on the look out for anything weird or scary she might be doing, and if anything sets off alarm bells, back far away. As far as overcoming your shyness around girls, how about you forget about flirting back right now. Just concentrating on responding when talked to. Once you're more comfortable with regular conversation, flirting will become more natural.
