I really like nerds in general but usually they never approach me. I am a nerd too so that's not meant as derogatory--I just don't look nerdy I guess. From taking advice on here and with help, I was smiling all Saturday. On Saturday I met this nerdy guy I was attracted to and we started talking. I woke up and realized I liked him. And according to a mutual friend he likes me too. Problem is he's white and I'm black.

I am very paranoid. I am not the cute and sweet girl next door like my roommate (like you've all said) and I am afraid he will become more attracted to her especially because she's Hispanic and not black like me (which is less taboo and closer to white). I am more of the witty and funny type.

Also I went over to the mutual friends house who meddled and invited him. We stayed up talking until four, I made a move on him. I took off my shirt and was just in a bra and he just sat there frozen looked extremely extremely petrified and couldn't even look at me. I felt really unattractive so I told him he should just go. Now he wants to talk more, but I don't think it will work. I already feel I've been blatantly rejected. He told me he has bad anxiety and I do too so it's probably not going to work, right?
