I’ve been crushing on this one basketball player who goes to my college for a few months now. he’s international and came back for classes, and i intentionally go to functions hoping to see him. he’s kinda got a reputation for sleeping around, so i’m not sure if i’m gonna pursue it but in the past whenever i’ve tried talking with him, i feel like every word in my mind leaves and i become so small. what doesn’t help is that he literally towers over me, so not only do i feel small personality wise but physically. he’s a foot and 3 inches taller, and no!! that’s not me trying to be ‘cutesy so small so petite’ it’s genuinely so intimidating. i have to look up at him to talk. anyways!! i’m usually a very outgoing person. in my classes i enjoy talking with new people and make friends around campus! but holy crap do i die out when i’m around this guy. like, if i know he’s there, im so on guard. so.. how do i get over this?? and is being quiet and obviously nervous to talk with a guy a turn off?! help a girl out PLEASE!
