I CANNOT FLIRT!! what is wrong with me????

i am 16. i can not flirt for my life. yesterday at basketball practice this guy at my school was practicing with us and he kept trying to flirt with me.i felt so awkward and didn't know what to say.i did respond by smiling or laughing or whatever b/c he was poking fun at me, but he later said "you need to talk more, you're too quiet".also, there is this guy who i really like and i would always catch him staring at me.i always ignore his glance b/c i feel so weird and do not know what to do and am scared to look at him.i'm pretty sure he has given up on me... these are just 2 of many examples of interactions with guys.i just feel so awkward with guys.even if i like them i still don't know how to act.i consider myself pretty but unappealing to guys b/c of this major flaw. can someone tell me if this improves with age or am i doomed?

I CANNOT FLIRT!! what is wrong with me????

imho smile back at the guy little things like that make the diff
Reply:at 16 i had nooooo idea how to flirt..plus i was just self conscious and wasnt comfortable doing it..





but now that i think about it (being 20) i suppose it does get better with age when you start becoming more comfortable with yourself. and with members of the opposite sex. so don't worry. just be yourself and if it makes it easier try "flirting" online with guys your interested in at school..like IMing them or through myspace..it'll probably help you to get your message to them so when your at school they'll get the idea without you having to be overly flirtatious in person
Reply:hey, it's okay. but there are lots of ways to flirt. you don't necessarily need to flirt to get guys. some are just a**es like that. no worries.
Reply:There is nothing wrong with being shy. You can be direct. Get the courage up and ask the guy if he like you because you would like to get to know him better.





If he says no, I'm sure there are other guys.





It's valentines day tomm. Perfect day to hook up.

Reply:You will figure it out. If you are okay being you, don't worry about it. Just wait, and it will happen when the time is right.
Reply:Listen, this is simple.


Practice. I know it's hard. I was there.


You're just shy. You'll get over it.


I used to be SOOO shy.


And to a lot of guys, shyness is cute.
