Hello,
I’m 17 and I’ve never had a proper boyfriend but now I feel like my friends are not enough and I want to have someone to love me.
I have noticed a guy for several months and he helps his father in a market near my school once a week and I feel very attracted to him.
I have managed to muster the courage to buy something from him twice but he just treats me like any regular customer and hardly looks into my eyes. I used to think he glanced at me but now I’m not even sure.
What I’m most scared of is that I’ve made a fool of myself, I’m scared that by hanging around the market with friends and obviously staring at him I’ve made it clear that I have a crush on him. I don’t know if it’s my imagination or if his dad smiles knowingly when I walk past, the guy on the other hand, just acts normal and doesn’t even look in my direction.
My friends have advised me to slip him a note but I’m not brave enough to. How do I start talking to this guy in front of his dad? I mean, it’s bad enough that I’m at a vegetable stall on school days, I must look very weird!
Please tell me how I can get to know this guy without the embarrassment of having his father there (he doesnt leave the stall and their van is right next to it so at the end of the day they pack up and go home, he doesn’t wander around)
This may sound really silly but I really like the look of this guy but I’m very shy. And I’m scared because if I mess up I’ll still have to walk past them weekly.

Please help me. Thanking you in advance. :]

Trust me — his father knows you like him, and he actually thinks it’s cute. Don’t worry about dad. And forget about embarrassing yourself. If you just try talking to him and giving him your best smile, you’ll have nothing to be ashamed of. Don’t slip him your phone number — it’s way too forward. Instead, ask him about his job. Ask him about working with his dad. Ask him where he goes to school. Maybe talk to him when your friends aren’t around so you BOTH don’t feel like there’s such an audience judging you. If after chatting, he’s interested, he’ll get the confidence to seek YOU out. 😀 If he isn’t, then you just realized he’s not the one, and you’re free to look for someone else.
