Question Posted Saturday January 27 2007, 11:02 am
alright, well I asked this kid out a few days ago. Last night he said yes, so we're sorta "going out" now.
In the beginning of a relationship everyones just all happy, giddy & stupid. But I want this relationship to be a good one. I don't know where to go from here. It's going to be weird just going into school on Monday and seeing him. We're both really shy people. I abosutely HATE talking on the phone, because (no lie) I sound like a 3 year old.
The question is, where do I go from here? how do I get my relationship going? =/

You don't want to rush into things, so I would give it a little time to get to know each other. You should try going on casual dates together. Not like dinner and a movie, it's way too early and formal for that. Simple, casual things like getting some lunch at a deli, trying sushi at a grocery store, or just grabbing a bite of pizza at te pizza place, is a good place to start. I've found that if it involves food, most guys would just love to go.
You should hang out with him on weekends, but don't become too attached to him. You both need time alone. All people in relationships need time alone, in order to be healthy. So don't overwhelm him with asking him to hang out EVERY weekend. That's just too much. Try for every other weekend.
Also, you definitely want to be talking to him. Sometimes it's easier to talk over the internet, but make sure you guys can talk to each other in real life. Just talk about basic things, you know, when you're first meeting someone, you talk about music, movies, favorites, etc. Try giving your opinion on something, like "I hate when teachers give out too much homework." Then ask him his opinion by saying, "How about you?" or "What bugs you?" This gives him an opportunity to talk and an opportunity for you to find out more about him.

The relationship in the beginning is going to be a little wierd and akward, but the more you talk and get to know each other the more comfortable it will become. Spend time together at school. Hold hands, hug, write notes, etc.
If you don't like talking on the phone then chat with him on myspace, if you both have one. If you don't then maybe you should try to talk on the phone to him, I'm sure you don't sound like a 3 year old all the time :) [ askkatie's advice column | Ask askkatie A Question ]
