gessyka answered Tuesday March 29 2005, 11:32 pm: Um..no offense and I know you are shy and stuff, but I mean, why would you guys start dating if you're not going to converse ya know? You have the right to talk to him. Don't feel awkward, I mean..he's your BOYFRIEND.
And don't worry, obviously if he hasn't broken up with you by now you must mean SOMETHING to him. I mean I know sometimes you can get nervous and stuff, but if you both aren't comfortable around eachother then you should really get to know each other as friends and hang out as friends before you start dating.
Either that or just go up to him and say "hey"..and ask him how he's been doing and stuff...or ask him if he wants to go to the movies (could be with a group of people too if it's more comfortable)...
Karen answered Tuesday March 29 2005, 6:14 pm: If you want to talk to him, then you just need to walk up to him and talk to him in school. Once you start talking to him more, your shyness will go away and so will his. Communication is the key in a relationship and since you are your boyfriend's first girlfriend, it's normal for him to not talk that much to you because he's nervous. You just need to talk to him more, that's all.

koshii answered Tuesday March 29 2005, 1:49 pm: Boys, up to a certain age (usually college) are completely freaking clueless about how to converse with a girl. They have a lot of pressure to get one, but once they do, the very great majority don't have the self-esteem or social skills necessary to have a normal relationship. In fact, you'll be hard-pressed to have a normal, two-way relationship until the end of highschool. Girls mature first and their brains develop much faster than boys', and their social skills are pressed upon them by society--boys are encouraged to be physically active, not to learn how to make a damn conversation. Have you noticed?
Pretty much, this is just going to be an awkward and unsatisfying period in your life. It is for everyone. The best I can suggest is going somewhere with a group--boys are usually a little more relaxed if they don't think you're paying so much attention to them. Less pressure. Just be cool with it and don't expect much. [ koshii's advice column | Ask koshii A Question ]

Whoever needs to get over the shyness and start hanging out with the other.If not then you have no relationship except in your heads!
partygurl24 answered Tuesday March 29 2005, 12:10 am: I thin that you should be the first one to talk. You guys are now dating, so talking would help make your relashionship grow. Forget about that your shyness, because if you want this relashionshp to work then you have got to have the courage to get over this obstacle if he can't do it himself. Couples should be comfortable around eachother and be able to talk to eachother to help eachother out. Talking on email isn't enough. You guys should get through this hurdle together, because there will more than likely be more tougher ones on your way through life. I hope I helped!

livinglife247 answered Monday March 28 2005, 11:09 pm: it is hard when you are going out with someone who is shy. you should go up to him at school and just talk to him. of course it will be hard to get him to talk a lot back to you.... but if you do this sooner or later he will be more comfortable and he will start calling you! i hope i helped in some way!

qotsa369 answered Monday March 28 2005, 10:14 pm: Okay, relationships where both people are shy, are not good. One of ya'll need to come out of your shell, other wise its just going to stay like that. And since it seems like you have the problem maybe you should be the first one to make the move, and maybe he will fill more comforable and lossen up too.

siozeegreat answered Monday March 28 2005, 10:02 pm: Reality check, he probably isn't that interested. If he doesn't make the effort to call you, or even talk to you at school, it doesn't seem like he's really into you. You're probably real nice and everything, but you might not be what he really wants.
Or, maybe since you're his first girlfriend, he just doesn't know what to do. This means you gotta be more assertive, and wear the pants in this relationship.
Sherry answered Monday March 28 2005, 9:21 pm: Welljust go up to him, hes your boyfriend. how are you even going out if you dont talk to him in person? How about cracking a joke or reminding him of something funny you talked about on the phone or online..to ease the tension. Good luck ! [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]
