He's come into where I work a couple times now and each time I'm a mess. I forget to breathe and I make mistakes on the till. He's just a guy I know, but I'm wondering how the heck I'm going to get over this so I can actually try talking to him without mumbling and jumbling my words. Usually I'm like eh, he's cute and nice and all and don't really bother and I admire from afar. But for once I'd like to try. Any suggestions about how to get over my nerves? I could have talked to my friends about this, but I don't want them laughing at me. They think I'm silly.  lol. | 
 
  Since he is an EMT, your forgetting to breathe could work in your favor 

I say you play up the hyperventilating and maybe even fall down in front of him.  Once he saves your life, you can ask him out for a drink as a token of your appreciation.   
Does that help?
