i like this guy and he likes me but he's really talkative and hyper all the time and im usually talkative around people im comfortable with but around people i havent been around for a while i get shy. for some reason i dont feel comfortable around him so im really quiet and shy around him... what should i do to start talking more and feeling more comfortable around him? a lot of the times i also don't know how to respond to him so theres an awkward silence... what should i do then?
Deriacks answered Tuesday November 24 2009, 5:45 pm: I don't think you should pressure yourself into talking with him. Everyone feels that way around someone they like. I would advise you to talk with him about it. That way he understands whats going on and so he doesn't start presuming the worst. When you are silent he may think you are being distant or not interested in him. The basis for all stable relationships is talking and communicating. Talk to him and let him know that you like him, and tell him you are quiet only because you are not comfortable yet. But don't take you being quiet as any sign of being distant or not interested. I am sure he will be happy that you told him that. Later on, both of you will joke and laugh about it. [ Deriacks's advice column | Ask Deriacks A Question ]
