so today i asked a guy i really like to be my b/f and he said yes after keeping me in suspence for a few hours during the school day. hes really shy all the time so i asked him out. im afraid this relationship isnt gonna work out cuz he wont call or talk to me... should i give it some time to get comfy (if yes, how should i help him) or just tell him to forget it?
JadedinNowhere answered Saturday March 19 2005, 3:23 pm: I'm sorry to say it, but I don't think really really outgoing people and shy people work.. I'm sort of a shy person myself and I hate really, really loud people.. if you aren't going to be comfortable with how he is I don't think it'll work..

harpist4u answered Saturday March 19 2005, 1:35 pm: If you like him then you should def. try to make it work. Find out what he likes to do in his spare time and do that with him. It will make him feel better. Tell him that it is ok if he calls you from time to time. Also just hang out with his friends as well as your friends. he needs to be i nareas that he feels comfortable. If you are there then he will become more open and more comfotable around you. It may take some time but it should work. It has worked for me a lot. Hope you two work it all out.

craazylau answered Saturday March 19 2005, 9:38 am: You definitely need to give it some more time! all relationships start off like that he just needs to get a bit more confidence. You can help him with this by calling him and approaching him so that he can get to know you a bit better. That way he will then start calling you and his confidence will be improved. Obviously if things are still like this in say a week or ten days its probably not worth it as it may mean you both are quite different. Hope it works out [ craazylau's advice column | Ask craazylau A Question ]
frenchy answered Saturday March 19 2005, 9:21 am: hey. i suggest giving him some time. you can help by calling him and stuff like that and letting him know that you wont bite him, so that he should be comfi with you. if this doesnt work that much, maybe let him know how you feel about it, you guys should be able to talk about stuff like this. however, if it doesnt work, just tell him that you want to be friends with him for now atleast and that maybe when you guys know each other a bit more and are more comfortable with each other, you guys could go out again then. hope this helped, let me know how it goes, much love [ frenchy's advice column | Ask frenchy A Question ]
mrs_radcliffe answered Saturday March 19 2005, 6:17 am: Why dont you try calling him tell him that you want this relationship to work but the fact is that your very shy. To help him dont let the relationship go to fast because once everything happened it all gets a bit boring after a while!
*ashlee* answered Saturday March 19 2005, 12:19 am: why dont you just talk to him about it? if you have a relationship problem..talk to the other half of the relationship. get it? [ *ashlee*'s advice column | Ask *ashlee* A Question ]
4Gotten answered Saturday March 19 2005, 12:19 am: ok, look this guy is a good guy, because all guys are shy i know because i am one and guys who are not acting like they are tough and not shy are shallow and worthless on the inside dont brake up with him because then he will get more shy and you will ruin his oppurtunities with other women, just give him time and joke around with him alot take things slow and tell him to call you and stuff just dont brake up with him. good luck laters.

nameless answered Saturday March 19 2005, 12:06 am: How long has this relationship been "on"? If it hasn't been all that long (let's say more or less a week) -- I say give him some time. Guys are messed up creatures, and some of them are shy on top of that, hah. He probably needs the time to adjust to having a girlfriend and having to dedicate himself to you.
If it has been for a while, though, I suggest you talk to him about it. If he was willing to go out with you, he should be open for discussion. If you tell him that the shyness is an issue, and that he needs to open up, and he still doesn't -- the choice is up to you. It depends on how much you like him, I guess.

karenR answered Friday March 18 2005, 10:54 pm: You might have to call him a few times to get him loosened up! Then i'd tell him, ok you call me at such and such time. See if he does.If he doesn't get with the program after awhile then I'd give it up. But give him a chance for a little while and see what happens. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

punkrockprincess answered Friday March 18 2005, 8:09 pm: I would give it some time. I know I used to be exactly like this guy until I got comfortable in the relationship. To help him, just get to know him. Make sure he knows that you really do like him. Eventually he'll get comfortable and start calling you. But if things don't change at all after about 3 weeks, then maybe there's no point in the relationship. But good luck!
