Guys: If a girl acted rude the first time you approached her, would you give her another chance?

I have social anxiety which makes me extremely awkward when I first meet people. When it comes to guys, I cover up this awkwardness with a "mean girl" act. Especially when a guy just approaches me out of nowhere, I clam up and become a b*tch. And then later on I regret it and sometimes I'll apologize depending on how bad I acted. Recently I did it to this really sweet guy who actually approached me a few different times, but each time I acted uninterested and standoffish. After awhile he laid off and would just watch me every day instead. It's been about a week and I feel like he's actually avoiding me now.. And he won't look at me at all. So if I were to walk up and talk to him nicely now, what would he think? Is there a chance he'd give me a dose of my own medicine? I wouldn't want to risk it.

    There's nothing wrong with being who you are, and it takes time to get to know people. Give yourself a chance, too.

    If you want to get over this mean girl act, that drives boys away, even those nice ones, you will have to change your act.

    You need to talk to this boy, even if you have to sneak up on him. Tell him the truth about your anxiety issues, And how sorry you are, for treating him that way, and hope he will forgive you and give you another chance.

    If he's as nice as you say, I'm sure once he knows the facts, he'll forgive you.

    If you feel the mean girl, coming out in you, bite your lip, but shove her back under the covers. She isn't who you really are.

    Sometimes the best medicine is a dose of our own.

    Just imagine if he too has social anxiety - that encounter with you might scar him for life!

    If is a nice guy, then he won't seek revenge. But he'll probably try to stay away from you, because you've hurt his feelings and he won't trust you for this reason.
