Question - (13 January 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 13 January 2010)
A female age 36-40, anonymous writes:

First off I'm really shy around him, I think he is a bit shy to and neither of us have had a serious relationship before, I over think everything to the point that its stressful to actually say so I won't, and I'll respond with some stupid one or two word answer, and then I just kick myself for not saying it when I had the chance. We were great in the beginning but I think because of my shyness to have anything to say it slowly started to fall apart in a way. I feel like we never really got to know each other and now we are just stuck in this stupid acting werid around each other thing. We still hangout all the time cause of very mutal friends and he lives with my best male friends and when friends ask about us we both would not know what to say. Long story short we are both 21, went to highschool together, dated, never really gave it the chance I guess and now its been almost a year of this..whatever it is. I really just want some advice on what I could do to be myself to him so this can work out, I like him alot and he tells me he likes me but I just want this to work. Thanks for any advice.

A male reader, CaringGuy United Kingdom +, writes (13 January 2010):

Tell him you're shy and you find it difficult to open up. Ask him about himself and get to know him. Hopefully, he'll open up and gently ask you about yourself too. It's a case of the more comfortable you feel about him, the more you will open up. So get to know him by asking him questions, and make sure you tell him you're shy, then he'll understand a bit more.
