Paintballing
So, a few times a year my boyfriend goes paintballing with a bunch of friends, but i've always been too scared to go. I guess I'm not a big risk taker. But I really want to prove to him (and myself, more importantly) that I'm not such a wuss. I just see some of the welts he comes back with and they look painful. The reason I'm afraid is because I don't want to get hurt when I get shot at. He says it stings a bit for a few seconds and then you're fine. I would like any advice I could get on the subject to make me feel more confident going into it. Thanks!

It really only hurts for a few seconds, and you should definitely go. It's extremely fun, and the pain actually adds to the experience.
But as far as blondiebluesky's comments about guys not wanting to shoot girls... uh, no. You can't fight for pay parity in the work place and the right to vote and not expect to be treated as an equal to a male in every regard, even if it means taking a paintball to the head. I would have absolutely no problem blowing a girl away.

If you do end up going your going to end up getting shot at there's nothing you can do to stop it from happening it's going to happen one way or another don't think about getting shot at just think of having fun the main thing that counts is that your having fun and sure you'll probably get welts but they won't be permanent they'll go away within time i think you should listen to your boyfriend when he said it will sting a bit for a few seconds then go away and then you'll be fine i don't think he'd lie to you he wouldn't of said it if it weren't true he wouldn't of said it for the sake of saying it i'm sure he wouldn't put you in danger or in harms way you need to trust him & what he said you need to get over your fear & face it you'll feel better afterwards like you accomplished your goal believe in yourself that you can do it if you really want to prove yourself for your sake & his then go ahead take the risk it's worth a shot :)

Take advantage of that fact that he's your boyfriend. Let him know that you'r concerned of getting hurt, but want to go play with them and have a good time. I'm sure that'll he will suggest some-type of teamwork between you two. I mean, if he really cares about you he will definatly take a paintball to the chest for you :) so if you talk to him about it, I'm sure he'll make sure you stay unharmmed.
And besides, how many guys actually feel comfortable shooting and hurting girls, even if it is for fun? My guess is that the girls who play probably barley even get hit. So I'd say give it a try, and maybe even turn your BF into a sheild ;)
