Akward: I am a dull person and dont know how to have conversations... So, why does he like me?
Question Posted Wednesday January 11 2012, 11:39 am
I've been with my boyfriend for almost three weeks and before he became my boyfriend we were seeing each other for three months. He is an extremely out going and talkative guy. He has many friends who he sees on a daily basis. I've been introduced to many of them I also see his roommates every time I go to his apartment. This is how it's supposed to be but me on the other hand I have no friends or anyone in my life that I can introduce him to. I am a dull person and dont know how to have conversations. I stay silent 99% of the time this is why im confused as to why he likes me. What can I do about this?

He is the outgoing one and you are the girl whose quiet and that's okay. My boyfriend and I are the same. He's very outgoing can have a conversation with anyone and I tend to be shy I try to come out of my shell but its hard sometimes. Sounds to me though that you are lacking confidence in yourself and that you don't think highly of yourself. Your boyfriend likes you because you're you. You don't have to be anything special because to him you already are special.
I continued to ask myself the same question as to why my boyfriend loved me. And you know what he loves me because I'm real and because I'm me. I don't try to be anyone I'm not. I know who I am. And you know what I don't have many friends myself but I've introduced him to the people that matter and to the people that I care about. And he has introduced me to his family and friends. Heck his friends like jokes about how I don't talk because they are trying to get me to talk. I tend to do the same thing when I'm hanging out with my boyfriend's friends. The best thing to do is try your best and come out of your shell. Obviously say hi and be polite but try your hardest to speak to someone. Try to get to know his friends! Good luck!

You must have similar interests? You may be beautiful in his eyes? He may want to be with someone mellow to hangout with daily, like you? [ samieeeey's advice column | Ask samieeeey A Question ]
