I have struggled my entire life with talking to guys. I simply don't know how to start a conversation or even have a simple interaction with a boy. All my girl-friends have guy-friends and they talk to each other all the time but I don't even know how to ask a dude for a pen.
Like today I gave a guy in my class a compliment and here is the interaction:
Me: What shampoo do you use?
He looks confused: Ehm I don't really know
Me: Because your hair is really nice
He looks confused and wierded out: ok Thanks
Me thinking he took it as a backhanded compliment: No really it is really beautiful
He: *Looks at me wierd and walks away*
If this would have happened to a girl they would probably be excited and happy for the compliment but he seemed disgusted. Also I wouldn't say that I'm a shy person or an introvert because I'm very extroverted with my female friends so Idk maybe it was wierd but I just wanted to give him a complimet :/
(PS. I have little to no relation with this dude we've talked a few times and thats it, idk maybe I was just too informal but I just wated to give dude a compliment :.< )
(PS. OMG I HOPE HE DOESN'T THINK I HAVE A CRUSH ON HIM OMG NO, I DONT HAVE A CRUSH BUT WHAT IF HE THINKS THAT I WAS TRYING TO FLIRT WITH HIM I WASNT WTF )
(PS. How do u talk to dudes :l )

I get u honestly, I mean online I can talk to guys but irl is a no no mostly. I feel like guys generally just respond to things differently compared to girl such as giving them a compliment for example. A week ago some guy in my class said something like he was praising my art, I sort of took it as sarcasm or a backhanded compliment so I just plainly ignored him (which is probably rude but I had no idea how to respond). That same guy yesterday also asked me for help with maths hw in class but I just kept yelling at him instead and told him to figure it out himself, fortunately for him his friend came later to his desk to give real help. I think the awful part with me is I’m awkward with almost all guys but I’m also scared that they take it that I have a crush on them or something which I DONT cuz all the boys at my school suck. I forgot where I was going with this…but uh yeah I don’t think I have substantial advice for u tbh

Oh I understand the crush part, I'm literally terrefied that he thinks I tried flirting with him :/ and I'm even more terrefied of what he is telling his friends about our interacrion :.) But yeah I feel like girls at least are more accepting, like if you go up to some random girl and give her a compliment she will most likely be happy and really excited while guys cant seem to accept a compliment without either being wierd or thinking that I'm flirting with them -_-
