I have a crush on a boy at college but I’m super-shy and feel scared to tell him

DEAR DEIDRE: THE boy I have a crush on at college popped up on my Instagram, and I think it’s a sign I should tell him how I feel.

I’m super-shy and find it hard to speak to boys, but this guy is gorgeous and has a lovely smile.

I’m 16 and at a large sixth- form college.

I see him around, but I don’t even know his full name. Should I message him on Instagram and tell him how I feel?

Or will he think I’m a stalker?

DEIDRE SAYS: If you don’t say anything, you’ll never know what might have been.

Why not send him a friendly message and see if you can get to know him better.

That way, at the very least you’ll make a friend. And he might like you back.

My support pack on Shyness should help.
