I've been in this situation before many times (except for us, we were wicked comfortable around each other as good friends but then once we started going out that changed). What we did was hang out with a group of mutual friends to get to know each other better. We tried to talk to each other as much as we could, and we said stuff like "What's your favorite movie?" to find out if we had anything in common. Like others have mentioned, you can't make him less shy. Good luck!

You can't make someone less shy. And this is coming to you from a shy person. That's like saying you want to change his personality. If he's shy than that is a quality that makes up his personality. It's a negative quality at times, but to get the point across : you can't change that. He has to.

Because you two are in a new relationship it will be awkward. And who knows when it will end. Try taking it day by day instead. It's only been a day. You have to give each other a chance to build up to becaoming comfortable. Just like in all relationships you work your way up to becoming closer to a person. You wouldn't tell a person you meet for 2 weeks your life story, would you? Probably not. Just take things slowly because it seems like he may need to work on getting used to you and his comfort level may be off right now. If he sees that you're patient and respecting him he'll probably be comfortable with you. Because you're giving him time rather than rushing things.

I know you just want to be able to talk with him comfortably but that can be a big step for him without you even knowing it. Make small talk with him and have him get to know you. Talk about going to some of the places you like and some of the places he likes. If you're into a certain sport talk about it because that typically gets the guys interested.

Think of it like meeting a new friend: Get to know him, talk about things, go places. And once you two start hanging out a lot I'm sure he'll feel more comfortable.

The main thing is consistency and time. If you keeps those two things in mind things should start to get better.

Good luck, and congrats!

Okay you must like him because you are shy around him, just be yourself around him so he can know you. Find something you are both interested in and talk about that. The worst thing you can do is be all big around him and cause him to think you are a bully. Dont do that.

hope i helped

Find something you are both interested & take it from there. If you guys both talk about a common interest, it will encourage you both to talk more.

Try talking on the phone with him, and being yourself. When he sees u being yourself he'll say i can be myself to. Just talk to him and stay around him alot. That way you all will get use to each other and wont be shy.
i hope i helped you.
good luck

Hanging out with each other and getting to know each other better will be an easy solution. The more you two are around each other, the more comfy you two will be.
