Why does...

<p>the person you like turn you into a total sissy?</p>

<p>When it comes to girls that I am not into, or even find attractive but are not really interested in, I can play the alpha male thing fine. But the girl I like? It just all falls apart, I can barely keep myself from being awkward.</p>

<p>How to avoid this? Or is it totally inevitable?</p>

<p>im sure theirs like some biological explanation as to why ppl u like elicit different responses (actually probably not) or maybe its one of life’s great mysteries but i feel ya man. sometimes u just realize that any contrived personality of urs is just not gonna work. and who knows girls are hard to figure out. and of course they all gotta act different; maybe some dont lik the whole alpha male thing ya know.</p>

<p>I think the alternative is being creepy. Then you have to weigh one with the other to see which you should be how much of the time.</p>

<p>Just get over it. Seriously. take a deep breath, a gulp from your water bottle, close your eyes for a second, stop feeling down, and get over it. All of your progenitors must have if they were successful enough to reproduce. You can too.</p>

<p>to add to my post if ur naturally awkward then maybe u shudnt pretend to be something your not.</p>

<p>Yeah yo, you guys are all Alpha Males, more power to you.</p>

<p>People generally devote more thought and consideration when conversing with those that they find preferable. Due to that aspect, the importance of conversing with someone exceeds that of a conversation with an individual that one doesn’t know as well. </p>

<p>Ultimately, you just need to find a way to relax yourself and try to make the encounter seem less essential.</p>

<p>Man, I totally know how you feel. I was so focused on grades through the first part of high school when I finally began to try to get a girl I had a hard part even looking her in the eyes, and she ended up turning me down. My sister decided she could cheer me up by making me look more, “desirable.” In the end - no matter how odd it seems - if you’re confident in what you look like (got to love the peacoats) it goes a long way in being able to talk to someone.</p>
