I had an awful date with a guy and now I don't know what to do around him. Any advice?

I asked a good guy friend to a formal at my school. He's really shy, but he didn't talk at all! He didn't even tell me I looked nice and acted like he didn't want to be there. I've been avoiding him. I'm not mad anymore I just don't know what to say to him because i know for a fact that he likes me and that's why he was so nervous. What do I say to him?I had an awful date with a guy and now I don't know what to do around him. Any advice?
it sounds like he has a bit of inexperience going on dates, let alone how to act on a date. and being shy can really hamper a person's progress in having a relationship cos if you are unable to eally be your true self it will be made harder to show how you feel and act.





what the other chick just said about going bowling, that sounds like a great idea. cos at a formal youre on your best behaviour and being that he's a guy friend and the first date is at your formal the atmosphere of it doesnt let you really be yourself and have a chance to show your fun side. and bcos he's at a formal he probably felt like he felt out of place and doesnt know how to act around you and the whole formal thing.





maybe you could give him another go, only this time go somewhere that both of you will be comfortable with, somewhere that you and him can agree on and be yourselves around one another. definetaly bowling :) either that or just go to a cafe or to the beach if there is one nearby where you live. i feel that anywhere that he can be comfortable around you in he will be at ease and really show you what kinda nice guy he could be.





enjoy your date, and good luck getting a strike :)I had an awful date with a guy and now I don't know what to do around him. Any advice?
Your choice on what to say. If you really know he likes you, you may unlock all the great personality and things he wants to say to you by just going up and breaking the ice. This is 2009, the time of independent, confident women! If you want to see what he has to offer in a relationship, go up and ask if he would like to go out sometime in a less formal situation. It multiplies any nervousness in theses situations when it's not only you two together, but being around all your other friends. If you approach him and he turns you down, it's his loss, and you know you've done what you can.
He is likely feeling intimidated by you. Guys mature inside slower, and even adult males frequently have trouble expressing emotions. That is just how men are raised. He is wearing a mask for you now, because he is afraid of revealing too much of his emotions and feelings because society dictates that men should be strong and unemotional. They find it difficult to make the first move if they are any less than super-self-confident. Are you really attractive? Maybe he is just stunned by your beauty.


Just be friendly and nice. You said you were friends before, right? He just seems to have clammed-up... just shy? Don't force him: you have all the power here, my dear - be kind.
If he's not crazy: Honesty. Tell him what you just said. Guy's can be intimidated too. Just becuase he lacked confidence that night doesn't mean is a 100% dud. You never know he might be a diamond in the rough. Some guys were never tought how to treat a lady. (And a guy should tell you girls you look beautiful , not nice or hot). And he might catch on soon, maybe not. If you are a girl who needs that from a guy, he aint' the one! Don't waist you or his time. If there is nothing there, he'll get over it. Trust me, Honesty.





If he is crazy: Keep doing what your doing LOL. Avoid him.
The question is do you like him? If you do then you talk to him. Tell him a little bit about how you feel. Maybe he will open up a little bit if he knows you like him. And try to be patient with him if he is shy. It is really hard when you are suffering from shyness.
tell him how you feel, maybe next time you bring him out maybe get him involved in the conversation, i know if a girl gets me involved my interest goes up so does my confidence, maybe because you took him to your formal he felt uncomfortable in his surroundings because he doesnt know anybody
Ask him to go bowling with you because the dance was not a good place to get to know each other. You can also have a light snack and chat. The rest of the convo is done between throws of the bowling balls. It's a very low pressure date.
Hon, just tell him you're sorry if you made him uncomfortable. I know it's not your fault, but it will help with the tension. Ask him on another, more casual date, maybe for lunch or something. Good luck!
Just avoid him, but if he says ';hi'; don't be rude and not answer. If he asks you out again just say, ';Thanks, but i am not interested.'; He will get the point and will leave you alone.
don't avoid him anymore! and unless u like him back, don't bring up him liking you. just say hey and talk like you used to talk before the formal.
Be causal. let everything fall in its place. just start out witha ';Hi';or just with a simple ';hello'; and just ask questions like ';how are you?'; or ';whats up?'; or just talk about school.
well i mean, you cant just never say nothing! there are ways to talk to him, just be honest, say whats on your mind.
