I'm 24 and I have a TON of confidence when it comes to friends, sports, work, etc. But when it comes to cute guys, I'm SO shy! I wasn't dorky in high school but I had bad skin, my hair was all over the place, I weighed more, etc. My friends now often tell me I'm pretty and some of my guy friends say I'm "hot" and I say thanks, but I still can't believe that a cute guy who I'm interested in would be interested back.
How do I get over this? I can barely smile at a cute guy in the street for fear that he'll just make fun of me or something - like that dorky girl crushing on him or whatever.
I want to get up the nerve to talk to this guy who I think is really cute. The only times I ever see him though, he's with his friends and I'm with mine, so I feel weird going up to him when he's around all his friends and I doubt he'll come over to me with my friends around.
Any tips or advice on how to get more confident around guys would be really appreciated. I always look away from cute guys because I don't want them to know I'm looking at them. Sorry this is so long but I really appreciate any advice!!!

In order to overcome those feelings of low self estem you have to beleive what your friends tell you and not because they tell you, but because you see it in yourself. You say you were a dorky kind of girl, but what about now? How do you see yourself? Do you feel "hot" as they say? or pretty/cute? It all starts inside of you hon. If you feel sexy and attractive you'll reflect that. Why not try to smile the next time you see a cute guy? Now, this guy you like you should start by smiling at him and letting him approach you. You don't want to approach him while he's with his friends. Look for an apportunity when you're alone and see if he approaches you.
