Why am I so scared to ask for his number!!?

Ok so this is the same boy from the last post!

Ok so I am now In the 2nd month of the new school year and I see him A LOT I also see him in the morning, but how can I even ask for his number when I’m scared!?

I have a friend who has been saying weird stuff but he says he’s “preparing” me for the “worst” that could happen but I feel like it’s only making me more scared than I should be.. he doesn’t say it anymore but he would ALWAYS say it before, things like “he might say no and that ur ugly, and that he might not like me like that. It’s actually killing me inside.

But how can I make this fear of talking to him lessen so I can just get this over with!!

... Read moreIt's common to feel anxious about asking someone for their number, especially if you’ve been crushing on them for a while. The fear of rejection can be overwhelming but there are ways to ease this tension. Start by building rapport; engage in casual conversations to increase your comfort level with him. Small talk can be a great warm-up and makes the idea of asking for his number feel less daunting. You might also find it helpful to practice what you want to say. Rehearsing your approach can significantly reduce anxiety. Consider being straightforward yet lighthearted; for instance, saying something like, "Hey, I've enjoyed chatting with you! Would you be okay with me having your number?" This method delivers clarity while keeping the mood relaxed. Lastly, remember that everyone experiences rejection at some point. It’s a part of life and, more importantly, learning from it can lead to personal growth. Keep in mind that if he doesn’t respond positively, it’s not a reflection of your worth. By adopting a positive mindset and focusing on the potential outcomes rather than the negatives, you increase your chances of success. Get inspired, gather your courage, and take that step towards connecting on a deeper level!

Also my friend is already talking to a girl so he wouldn’t be interested in me like that!

It sounds like your friend wants you and doesn’t want you to ask this other guy for his number. If you really like this guy and you could consider each other friends then there’s no reason to not ask! DONT worry okay?
