Twitterpations...and chicken

[Caressa]

*Twitterpations - or being twitterpated: That feeling where you see a certain someone and instantly get all stupid inside...whether you are or are not "dating" them at the time" - The Caressa Semi-English Dictionnary


So there's this boy...and I think he's very sweet and almost dreamy-like. And I definetly get twitterpated and dumb as hell in his presence. And I don't know what to do because I'm a chicken.

I flirt and cuddle on him...I even went so far as to "claim" him. (When I was in college, I had a friend tell me that if I wanted someone, I should just go up to him and say 'You're mine') Of course I think he thinks I'm joking but I'm not!

The main reasons I'm really holding back from making a move - We work together
I'm somewhat of an authority figure over him
It's a summer job
Oh yeah...and did I mention I'm chicken?

It's been a long time since I've felt this way over a guy and in the past I've never made any move at all...besides the traditional joking and flirting.
I never thought I would have the same high-schoolish reaction towards a guy at 25 as I did when I was 15. *Sigh*

So, I guess I could basically get some guts and make a move and suck up the possibility of rejection and awkwardness that could last for the rest of the summer...or I could sit and kick myself and do nothing...which is what I usually do...


ACK!!! Any suggestions? Help!!!

Go for it! I felt the same way about a guy all through elementary school and high school...I finally got the nerve to ask him to the prom (okay got a friend to ask him for me) and he turned me down, saying he didn't feel the same way about me. At least I had some closure so I didn't lay in bed at night anymore wondering if he'd ever go out with me.....Of course now his younger brother is dating my younger sister and everytime I see him I still get weak in the knees and I keep hoping if his brother can be crazy about my sister he can be crazy about me someday and hoping I run into somewhere in the town I go to school (there was a rumor I chose my university because it was in the same as his)....umm......wait.....maybe this wasn't good advice.....Well at least it'll help you to get over him for a day or 2 IF he doesn't feel the same way.....If he does, you'll know and it'll be sooooooooo good.

I believe I am all of these in my everyday life. The problem is that by being myself I willl most likely turn and run in the opposite direction, no matter how much I don't want to. *sigh*
When I'm pathetic I'm just plain pitiful. *blech*

You have two choices. Make a move or don't. If you don't, you have no chance of getting the guy. If he rejects you, then you laugh at him 10 years down the road when you're rich, famous, and more gorgeous than before.

By the way, I tried the "claim it" thing. I went up to a guy with a hot car, and said, "You're mine!" but we wouldn't let me have the car.

Actually, I've been thinking of the old school 5th grade message...leaving a note at his dressing station that says

"Do you like me? Check yes or no"
