Feel help: Talking to boys is so stressful. - Help.com

Talking to boys is so stressful.

Usually when I’m this bad at something I don’t even bother… but this is supposed to be worth it. I really want to give up though. I feel so stupid!
I am making this a big deal for no reason and I need to stop.

Talking to your soul mate will be effortless.
You won’t believe the joy you will have talking to him.
No stress.

I feel this way in general, but at the moment I’m frustrated about a particular boy. We’re vaguely interested in each other. I want to hang out so I can figure out if I actually like him. But I feel like everything I say is stupid and I’m stressing myself out over nothing.

yes it could be over nothing , if you say something a little strange just smile have a little laugh, its cute :) but practice makes perfect, it really does. I think things happen for a reason and work out right in the end, so try not to put so much pressure on yourself, saying sillx things is a charecter trait. If hes a decent lad id wont put him of. Just try have a laugh about it, and youl see its not a big deal

It’s not even silly quirky things… we haven’t even gotten there yet haha.
I tried to see if he wants to hang out today and his response seemed pretty reluctant. And then I said I’d treat him to lunch and now I’m worried it sounded too forward, blah blah blah…
He never responded and I’m hoping he just drops it. :T

Yeh i know excactly what you mean there, its fine for a guy to chase a girl but if we go after what we want wer desperate, they just make no sence, what i would do is justDONT text him now, wait and see if he text you. Show him u like him but arnt going to be chasing. If he texts u back, about lunch, say oh yeh, yer sure if ud like too could be fun. I think “most“ lads prefere leading aswell so it would kinda make it his idea, but i duno how good my advice is, im single too after all.

The more you relax and the less you think about the things you say the more comfortable you will be talking to people in general. No one is keeping tabs on what you say, and if you can have a fluid conversation a few dumb comments are easily missed.
