I planned to ask my crush on a date and now another lad has beaten me to it

DEAR DEIDRE: JUST as I was about to ask her out, the girl I like agreed to go on a date with another boy.

I’m gutted because I was too scared to ask and now I’m too late.

I’m 17 and so is the girl I have a crush on.

We go to the same college. Being shy and not particularly good-looking means I find it hard to get girls to like me.

I don’t even know how to talk to them. All my mates have – or have had – girlfriends, but I can’t even get a date.

I feel like a reject who’s missing out. I’d like to change but I don’t know how.

DEIDRE SAYS: Missing out on a date with this girl is disappointing, but there will be other girls you like.

Focus on making friends with them and see what develops.

Girls are just people. Talk to them like you do with your mates.

My support pack Shyness And Social Anxiety can help.
