Probably moreso than around just anyone... But like (#2) Laika said, not necessarily :smile:
Just talk to him and ask if he wants to go on a date sometime. :cool:

...Only get embarrased around girls they are attracted to? x


Definitely. I usually get worried about what I'm saying, how I'm coming across and usually screw things up because I'm not acting naturally.
personally i dont worry about such things, you are who you are, it'll either work or not, however some of my friends do get embarassed when in similar situations, guess its an individual thing
Not really. I enjoy talking to girls. I actually get more nervous around males...strange.

So it's unlikely that you'd be embarrassed around someone you didn't feel that way for? x

Yes. I get embarassed around the girl i fancy at the mo. It annoys me, but i can't help it!

Yep, I can be really cool with girls I dont actually see in the light of getting laid. Entertaining them and so on (i kind of collect pretty girls as my friends), and then when I come across the Girl, you know one that makes my heart beat, I
1) suddenly am very uneasy to go to say something to her
2), or if we have means of doing something together, and I feel that she likes me, I cant be brave to do the things to show her too I like her and to encourage next step (such as touching her, etc.).
3) or if I finally invite her out to do something just 2 of us - I suddenly have my head completely blank with no ideas what to talk to her or do!
4) if one bravely approaches me (some of those spontaneous discoveries of two people) I would immediately do something stupid such as reject her and 1 minute later call myself names, but its too late because she is already being embarassed!

so my girlfriends have all been girls i wasnt initially impressed with but they liked me and somehow got me and I realised that a few steps later! (and also that they are in fact really cool! :smile: )
But once I have admitted someone I like her I relax and can release again all my charm. :smile:
most likely. but some guys pretend to be even more confident but make idiots out of themselves. its quite amusing either way.

I quite fancy a girl at work at the moment, and I think, if anything, I'm more confident, and more myself. It's weird, cause I always thought I'd sort of be doing the opposite. But I'm not!
It depends very much on the person. Men are more likely to be embarassed around girls they like, but of course depending on the may they might still get embarassed around girls they don't like, or not get embarassed around girls they do like.

If I like a girl I tend to get more embarassed in a group situation when I am with my friends and she is with hers but if it's just the two of us I feel much more comfortable and in control of what I am doing. It's a bit strange really, but that shows you that there is no set rule about it. I would agree though that generally guys do get considerably more conscious of what they are doing and saying which can make them blank out a bit when they are around a girl they fancy.
