Why do your crush act awkward around you?

I'm assuming you're a girl, because guys don't use the term "your crush," at least no guys I've ever met. If you're pretty -- or if "your crush" thinks you are -- he may be intimidated by you for that reason alone. That really is a reflection of his less-than-great self-esteem. He is judging you as a person strictly by your appearance and physical good looks -- which is really no indication of character -- and judging himself unworthy of your attention. ("I am not worthy!") So, if you think this guy is cute and would like meet him or go out with him or something, don't just sit there and wish he would do something. Just go up to him and say hello. But don't be surprised if he's all weird and stuff. He may not know how to act when you do that. He might get all flustered and stuff. So be patient, and cut him some slack.
