Q: 14/f

Recently I've got together with one of my best boy mates, we knew we liked each other for a couple weeks, then we talked for about half an hour before deciding together to be a couple.

But we don't really act like it cause both of us are really shy...

And there's always other people around and I'm really self-conscious about it.

I mean, if it's just me and him I'm much more comfortable. But I feel awkward when other people are there.

So yeah, what should I do cause we're both shy and I don't it to not go anywhere?

Any ideas ?

Q: I have a situation that I really don't know how to deal with. I feel like just blowing my friend off, but I know in the long run that may not be the best solution. I am a married guy with a one year old boy. It seems that since we had kids, our friends don't want to be friends anymore (but perhaps that's not true). Perhaps, we are still working on balancing our family and social life. There's one particular guy friend of mine and we've been pals for a long time. He's married (without kids, by choice). We've been friends long before I even met my wife. In the past, he has been very supportive of my family and kid, but over the past few months, it's been a struggle. He will never call unless I call him first. When I do call, he's very friendly. When I ask him if he wants to get together (alone or with our wives), he's always busy. I am tired of having to initiate the friendship all the time. When I try to bring this up to him, he's a master at avoiding the issue. I am almost at the point where I want to tell him that he's too busy for me and perhaps we shouldn't be friends anymore. However, that may be too impulsive of me. Recently, I sent him and his wife an invitation to our son's first birthday (with an RSVP). He never responded. Now, I'm left to call him and ask him if they are coming. I really don't want to call, but I am trying to be mature. I really don't think he's jealous of my kid. In some sort of way, I think he feels that I am more devoted to my son than I am to our friendship, so he's decided to back off. However, I still would like a friend to hang out with. Nonetheless, I am really getting pissed that he's not making any real effort. I'd hate to lose a friend I have had for so long, but it's irritating. I hate to be rash. Also, on a somewhat different line, I am not very good at making friends so I hate to lose my existing friends. Thoughts?
