Comfortable.


Question Posted Wednesday February 14 2007, 8:01 pm

16/f

I've talked to this guy on myspace [I knew him from middle school] so he's not a stranger to me. We talked for many weeks. We met up about 3-4 times and we are going out now.

But I feel so stupid because I'm so shy and I can't look at him

We are surrounded around our friends and we haven't been alone.. I can only glance at his face. If i really stare at him, i get so shy.. my eyes water [for some reason? sensitive eyes?] and i blush like mad. I'm awful at eye contact. i keep telling myself to look into his eyes but i end up looking away.

I'm also tensed and nervous. I don't know how to feel comfortable around him. We haven't been dating long. Maybe a week? How can I be more open? Not so shy around him?

I can hug him but it's so awkward standing next to him. Maybe it's because he's watching my every move. It sort of scares me.

I need help:[

lol thats cute, but i know how u feel that happens to me a lot, what u wanna do is when talking to other people not just him, look them straight in the eye it might seem awkard but it will help you with ya man. Plus try to hang out with him just tha two of you because always hanging out with friends is fun but distracting because you never really get to focus on just tha two of you, especially if you have goofy friends who will dare you guys to do stuff, that can get uncomfortable.
hope i helped
holla

i think its normal to feel like that around someone you dont see as much especially if its your boyfriend. since both of you are fine with the distance relationship my advice would be far from breaking uhp. i really think you will get over it, im not sure though when because each person is different. it might be from not seeing him as much as you like and when you finally do get to see him your overwhelemd with happiness and butterflies (= thats good because its a strong feeling. tell him how you feel, he might laugh but think its cute. if you can get over telling him that, he`ll try and make you more comfortable around him. best of luck.

Maybe you guys should talk a little more and tell each other some goofy things about each other to kind of break the ice. You should let him know you have trouble with eye contact and you feel nervous so that maybe he can help you out.

I agree with ali but i was very shy also and what i did to cover up for it was talk and laugh more then the blushing doesn't seem like blushing it seems like you are having an interesting conversation and he was funny and interesting. Although you are shy and you can force yourself to try to look at him one thing i know you can succesfully force yourself to tey to do is make upmore things to talk about and joke about and yo will gradually begin to feel more comfortable with him while making him enjoy your company at the same time.

I think that you should keep trying to look at him. Maybe you should tell him that you are shy and tell him why you don't look at him. If you don't tell him why you don't look at him then he might think that you don't like him or something like that so I think you should definately tell him at least why you don't look at him. If you really like him and want to continue dating him then you should tell him and he will understand. It will make your relationship stronger and he will like that you are honest with him. Maybe he even feels the same way as you do. You should be very honest with him and you should feel comfortable with your boyfriend and he should feel comfortable with you. You shouldn't feel scared that he might be watching your evry move becauseheprobably isn't and you might just think that because you haven't really looked at him.
