writes: Dear Cupid,There's this guy I think I might be interested in (he's from a town about thirty minutes or so away from mine). Two of our friends (who are boyfriend and girlfriend) introduced us, and they both think that we should get together. We've talked on MySpace a little bit and he called me one night last week (the conversation didn't last that long because his phone screwed up), but other than that, we haven't talked anymore (he's not really on MySpace all that often). Well, the girl that's trying to hook us up gave me his number, and I've been thinking about calling him, but I'm kind of scared to. I mean, she said he's kind of shy, and I don't want to freak him out (and besides, I'm shy, too). She keeps encouraging me to call him, but I don't know if I could go through with it. What would I say to him? What would he think if I just called him out of the blue? Would it, like, scare him off or whatever?I also have one other question. See, our youth group (well, mine and the other girl's) is having a super bowl party next weekend, and I kind of want to invite him so that we can meet in person. The girl said she would probably tell her boyfriend to bring him, but if she doesn't, I was kind of thinking about inviting him to come myself. Should I? Any help in either matter is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all your help. I think I seriously am going to call him and invite him! I'm still a little nervous, but this is something I really want to do. It's like my friend Randi told me-"Life is all about taking risks". Whether or not this boy and I end up actually getting together, I'll still have a really good opportunity to, like, strengthen myself at taking risks and stuff like that...which is not one of my really strong points. And then the girl that's trying to hook me up with the guy said that "bold girls turn guys on", so I'm hoping she's right. I'll let you know how things go! Thanks again!
x's, o's, and much, much love,

 YES! That's a perfect excuse to call him. Call and say you're just wondering if he'd like to come since you're worried that ur friend's boyfriend might not remember to ask him and it'd be nice to see him again.

 The fact that he's shy doesn't automatically mean that he will freak out if you call, he might be thinking about calling you but feeling weirded out about how his phone acted up on him last time he tried to call you. He would probably be happy you called.
So yes, I definitely think you should invite him to the super bowl party. Actually, that's a good enough reason for calling him, and I'm sure he won't be put off by it.

I have been there myself, it took me a long time to pluck up the courage to do it as well but I'm glad I did or else I wouldn't be married to him right now!He has already made the first move by calling you last week, so at least you know he is interested.Just do it, pick up your phone right now and dial his number, keep it short and sweet, ask him how he is, make some small talk then go in for the kill. Tell him the reason you are calling is because you are going to Super Bowl and wondered if he would like to come. Easy. Stop worrying and call him, you only live once and if you dont you will only be thinking 'what if'.You go girl...Good luck xx
