I like this guy, but im shy and wanna break out of my shell?

Here is a honest answer Emily.I met my now wife when she was in a swimming club just like you she was very shy and reserved.I loved it when she blushed.Gradually over a period of time she became more outgoing mainly because she started work in a place where there was men and women.At 15 I think you are trying a little to hard.Try to get out where there are mixed groups of your own age.You will notice a big difference when you start college or uni.or even start work.It is not just young girls who are shy.Many married women are shy and so are boys and men.Just take your time.Be brave,go up to the boy and ask him what he does after school and could you meet him one night.Go for it Emily,he won't bite.Good luck
