I swear, I don't know what's wrong with me: I never feel "uncomfortable" in public, am not shy, I have no problem public speaking, etc...so why does seeing a girl I like make me turn to jelly, man? I triple-guess everything I say or do in her presence when usually I'm pretty composed, it's ridiculous. I'd like to think I act rationally, but I've never behaved as irrationally as I have in front of a crush...why :(
Also, according to others, I suck at social cues and have apparently been oblivious in the face of girls who've expressed interest using those cues. I wish it were more socially acceptable for girls to just say it outright instead of dropping these "hints" we're supposed to get. People write it off as "hurr guys are just too dumb to see it" but I don't think intelligence has anything to do with it...sometimes the gestures are just really vague.
