    he is cute and decent his personality is flawless, he is loyal to his friends and he doesn't follow the crowd... i guess they follow him... he's mature and can be immature (good way) and he just... i dnt know, everyime he strikes up a conversation with me i can't just be myself, i take ages to say something back and when i do it makes NO sense! every other guy im around i am totally myself, but something is telling me that that just isnt good enough with this guy.
    how can i relax atround him??

    theres a few things you could do
    1) just think that youre talking to one of those guys you feel comfortable around, and talk to him the same way

    or
    2) pretend youre talking to a girlfriend, just use smaller words

    or a mix of both is usually great

    and dont worry, as soon as you start to loosen up, youll be fine

    yah, just like ~emmerz~ said
    just pretend your around one of the other guys
    or just dont think about being nervous or anthing,
    think of being yourself and if you say something that makes no sense, laugh at yourself
    and then maybe he'll laugh with you and you guys will have more to talk about.
    just dont think about the other times when you've made no sense,
    dont think about when you haven't been yourself,
    and well just think about being completely relaxed.
    its all in the way you think
    and if you think you're not going to be yourself then you most likely won't be.

    true enough. yet dont overthink it- if you put TOO much thought in it, it may look...'rehearsed', and not like youre really trying to get to know him

    and remember that you wont go anywhere without taking a risk- so even if it basically kills you to even initiate the conversation, go for it - just go with the flow and stay cool if anything unexpected happens

    yeah u r both right lol i should just be myself because if he doesn't like who i am than shouldn't i know that, if he likes the fake me than how will it ever work out.

    He wouldn't start conversations if he didn't at least like you as a friend so you're obviously not screwing up that badly :P

    but i turn into someone completely different when im around him so maybe he doesn't like me at all, he likes the 'fake'

    Your morals don't change, your beliefs don't change... The real you doesn't change while around him. You may be more nervous, have a harder time acting completely yourself, but what should truly matter to him will never change.

    i really hope your right lol because i really do like him but i'm scared that he wants to talk to the 'fake' Lucy instead of the real one. hmmm, such is life
