My boyfriend is as stiff as a log


Question Posted Tuesday March 25 2008, 5:59 pm

Well, I started going out with this guy a few days ago. We talked on myspace and stuff, but when we finally got to see each other at school,it's all awkward and stuff. He doesn't talk very much, and he's my brother's best friend. Now, this means that I have to start all the topics, which I CAN'T DO. Normally I'm crazy and hyper around my friends and I used to be that way around him but it's different now. It's like when we're together, he just stands there. Is there any way I can loosen up around him? I've tried being with him around my friends but it doesn't work, i'm still really quiet. Help?

Ok soo..... he must be nervouse if he's quiet which means he really like you... soo... don't be scared about him not liking you ok??? What I would try doing is just like not hanging out with him around your brother and think up a few topic starters to kind of get him started.... he should be ok the rest of the time... but if he isn't,.... I'm here to help. If he barely makes eyes contact with you it means he's scared. And... if you are hott............ don't blame him for that ok? If he is too shy for youn and you like a more "outgoing conversation starter," then just let him off easy. But if you do really like him, as time passess.......... things will lossen up... oo please just don't stress.

ok so pretty much this same thing happened with my best friend and her boyfriend (who have now been together for over a year) when they first started going out. her boyfriend was a little shy, and even so they were just adjusting to making that switch from friends to boyfriend girlfriend and it was alittle harder for them. actually they broke up every weekend for the first month of the relationship but as they got more comfortable with each other they started to be able to deal with it. if you really like this boy and he really likes you, just chill out for a while, and things will get better as the relationship grows.
for now
i would suggest doin some one on one hanging out with this guy especially with your brother not around. the more you hang out just the two of you youll be closer and have more inside jokes, and thus, more to talk about. so go on some dates and chill out. sometimes it takes a little time to warm up to a relationship
