Standing In The Way Of Control

Every Sunday evening I make sure I find time to check out postsecret. This Sunday being Valentines Day (bleurgh) I was intrigued to what secrets would be on there, and although expecting to be moved by them (for all my cynicism I am a hopeless romantic at heart) I didn't expect for one to resonate particularly with me. But one did, it reads "I think I'm crushing on you, but I'm very shy so please talk to me first". Most people will automatically say that I'm not a shy person, that if anything I'm the opposite to it. So why is there this lad I've been doing my best to persuade myself I'm not interested in so I don't have to face the idea of having to say something to him if I ever want to be more than just friends?
