I think there's something wrong with me

[Roxy 87]

LOL! I'm an older girl, but I still can't talk to guys. I've always been extremely shy, it used to be really bad. Not so much anymore. I'm fine around guys I'm not attracted to, but as soon as I'm attracted to someone I turn into a blubbering fool. There's this new EMT in town, who makes my heart pound and knees weak. 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?

Act like you're not interested and play 'hard to get'.

You can't give up that quick! We are gonna get you a man If you really like him you need to find out where he hangs out. You could show up there for a drink or whatever.

Good Luck! Break a leg... oh that would work too!

[Roxy 87]

I will have to scout around and see if anyone knows where he hangs out, I'm also thinking of walking Tila through the hospital parking lot. lol. Hope he likes dogs, because who can resist a cute yorkie.

[Roxy 87]

just so I don't sound crazy. lol. I usually cut through the hospital parking lot when walking Tila. The hospital is right around the corner.

And if he doesn't you won't have wasted a bunch of time!

Tila needs a little hockey jersey of his favorite sports team. Help move things along to chat about sports.

I don't like the idea of showing up at his hang outs without an invitation. If he thinks you're stalking him or perceives you as some sort of weirdo, it will be over before it started.

Then we need to go back to the floor and mouth to mouth.

Should she prepare a couple dozen buffalo wings too? Wait, how would that play out. "Hi, nice to see you again, my dog likes the same team that you do, and I made wings."
