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?

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. [ SydneylovesCole's advice column | Ask SydneylovesCole A Question ]

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 [ bluejeanbaby's advice column | Ask bluejeanbaby A Question ]
