Phoebe Halliwell agony auntHi

don't rush into a relationship because you can. There is nothing wrong with you. It's probably just the way you were brought up by your parentss and maybe you feel disloyal to them now? Going against what they have tought you?

Valuable tip - Sometimes relatioships built on Friendships turn out better than relationships built on attraction.

kt agony auntdont just rush into a relationship because you can! maybe you cant take the next step because your not ready. you have been banned from boys your whole life and now suddenly you want a boyfriend. try taking it slower. find a guy and be friends with him first, then slowly get to know him better. or just wait untill you are ready

and dont worrie there are other people out there like that.

good luck!!

eï? Sophie eï? agony auntHey

Well , absolutely nothing is wrong with you, this in fact is perfectly normal. It's great that you feel your ready to date now so all you need is that extra boost. There is no rush towards taking it to the next step too being more then just friends. Firstly you need to be with someone you like and feel comfortable with, someone who likes you for you, not just the way you look, and someone you can be yourself around. Plenty of girls and boys do chicken out before dates as it kinda is a big step and very scary, why not take a friend along to a date with you? That way it will give you that extra confidence and you could even 'double date', if not do something calming before your date like having a hot bath, meditating, listening to music and prepare your self ; choose your outfit, do your makeup, think of things you want to say and anything that makes you feel more confident so your nerves don't get the best of you. If these boys really like you, they will wait for you until your ready to take it to a further step then being just friends! Lastly you will have no problems with finding a hot guy i can assure you. Hope that helps x
