Dear Angela and Vanessa Simmons,

There is this guy I really like, but I just blew my opportunity at meeting him. It was the last day of school and my friends had arranged for me to meet him, so instead of me being brave I just walked away before he got there. i had gotten really nervous. But what I really need to know is, should I just give up liking him, which will be hard to do, or just keep trying to get his attention??

Sincerely,

“Shy But Fly”

Our advice: We are sorry to hear of your missed opportunity. Let’s start off with what did you learn from the experience? It seems you should have learned to control your fear. Fear caused you to miss out on a great opportunity. Never allow shyness to do that ever again. Do not quit! Just because you were overcome with fear to act the first time does not mean you will do so again. Find courage, stand tall and go for it! 

What would you suggest?  Would you go after him?
