I'm really shy around my boyfriend and I want to impress his family
Question Posted Tuesday November 20 2012, 12:01 am
I'm 13 and my boyfriend is 14. We have been dating for 8 months and I really like him(obviously). When I'm with him I forget what to say and he gets mad at for not talking to him. So how could I fix that? I have another question, my boyfriend invited me to him and his family thanksgiving dinner. How can I get his family to like me?
It's okay to be nervous and forget what to say. I'm sure if you explain to him how much you like him and that you are worried that you might mess it up etc he'd be understanding and most likely find it sweet.

Aw don't worry it's natural to be shy and nervous around your boyfriend. Especially at the early stages of a relationship and particularly when you are so young. Talk to your boyfriend and explain that you like him so much some times you get a bit tongue tied around him. He is sure to be flattered. :)
Communication is everything in a relationship. He is probably getting mad and losing patience because he doesn't understand. Perhaps he thinks you are ignoring him. If you're too nervous about telling him to his face straight away maybe talk about it over social media (FB, Twitter etc. ) or text him. Then speak about it in person.
As regards his family, just be yourself!
Be polite and courteous. Smile and engage in conversation with them. Don't try too hard too impress just be friendly and open. I know it's nerve wracking but after the first initial awkwardness you will feel right at home! I was the same when going to my boyfriends house for the first time.
Good luck! :)

Talk to him more about something that you are comfortable talking to him about. compliment him. But mostly explain to himm. that you are a very shy person and being in a relationship is going to take some time to get used to. [ Jasmine23's advice column | Ask Jasmine23 A Question ]
