I'm confused about relationships...?
Okay, now I know this is EXTREMELY awkward, but coming from a confused teen, I really need answers :S
So, in my life time, I've liked three guys. The weird thing is, they're all within my culture, same race as I am, and they all speak my first language.
I know that two guys have liked me, but unfortunately, I have not liked any of them.
That is some background on my basically non-existent love life...
Anyways, my real question is:
Why am I so awkward around guys?
When I don't want to reject someone in fear of hurting them, before they get a chance, I start being really mean and rude, to make them back off...
Also, I can barely hold conversations with guys, which is why I've never been in a relationship. I'm fifteen years old, by the way. Is there anyway I can become more comfortable with this?
I really appreciate your answers guys, thank you :)
Happy Holidays!
To add, I always become tongue tied and stutter a lot when I try to talk to someone in general... why am I so socially awkward? :/
I forgot to add... I'm a lot more comfortable talking to them online...

I think you're just nervous, inexperienced, not confident enough, or maybe all three. All I can say is that I think you underestimate yourself which leads to resentment, and this comes out by being unintentionally mean because you are frustrated that you can't get the guys you want. Believe me I have a similar problem but I'm a guy. I have a similar situation, can you please help me with my question:

I'm often awkward around girls, I'm not sure if I like one or more, there's always a couple of girls.
There was also a girl who was really smart, really shy and really pretty and she liked me, but I was too nervous to ask her out. we talked in school but I never made a move on her because I was confused between her and two other girls. and then I think I creeped her out because I sent her too many emails over the summer, she hasn't replied. :(

I think that you're so awkward because you get yourself worked up. Maybe try befriending a guy that you don't have feelings for. That way you can talk to a guy like he's one of your girlfriends. Then when you find a guy you like, it'll be easier to be comfortable. But don't worry too much, you're only 15 and that can be an awkward age in anybody's life.
