yesterdays love

My girlfriend acts REALLY shy around me when we're around anyone, but when we're alone she isn't at all, we're like cuddling and kissing, but if we're around anyone else the most she would do is hold my hand ... It makes me feel kinda bad like she's ashamed of me, anyway we're both going to the cinema tomorrow and im just wondering if i try to kiss her there she might just act all wierd.

I'm extremely freaking shy when it comes to women...well, unless the person talks to me first.
It's weird...I'm extremely self-confident, but as soon as it's about girls and relationships, I'm shy as hell.
Well, hopefully this topic helps, eh?

I love it when my friends gawk at me when I go up to some random hot guy and start talking to him, or ask him for a cigarette. It even amazes me because I don't feel nervous or shy at all... even though I used to be one of the shyest persons alive.

I have somewhat of a social phobia. These tips do work but I also fight depression witch makes this advice hard to work with due to the fact that I am always sad and down.

I'm really shy and I don't think it will get better any time soon. I'm stuck in the house all the time because my parents won't teach me how to drive or take me to put in applications. I don't go to school, and I hardly see my friends. =[

I have trouble, mostly with girls, overcoming my shyness. I feel like they just stare right through me or think of me as disguisting. And any girl who doesnt go out with an alright looking guy has to put up with abuse from friends,,,it doesnt seem fair but maybe one day that will end

I'm fairly shy.  I used to be a lot worse, but I changed a lot (physically) over the last summer.  And I just feel better about myself. Multiple guys are interested in me.  Most of them are more nervous about talking to me than I am about talking to them.  The only intimidating factor is that I'm considered one of the smartest people at my school. I think that kind of deters guys sometimes.  

The guy I've liked for like a year now is even shyer than I am.  Anybody have any advice on talking to shy guys about relationships?

I went to a dance with this guy last year and he seeme to want to dance with me and be around me, but then he didn't call me all summer.  At the beginning of the year I think he was kind of freaked out by my change in appearance and we barely talked.  When I asked him what was going on with us, because it was still really awkward, he just turned red, and wouldn't really respond.  And then (we have classes together) he normally NEVER touches girls and he started like patting me on the back a lot and/or putting an arm around my shoulder for a minute.  It's not random though, usually when I' complaining about something or kind of half-joking whining.  Happens once or twice a week. I don't know what he's thinking!

Well, overall, just be yourself. It's the best feeling in the world whe you finally get the hang of it.

See I used to think I was ugly too, but it only took shedding the extra ten pounds, having eye surgery (to fix my lazy eye), and actually giving a shit about my warrdrobe/ makeup every once in a while.  Now lots and lots of people (including guys) have called me pretty/hot.

I'm sure that kind of metamorphisis happens to guys too.  Don't give up.

As you grow older you get more mature and slowly the shyness will fade
