Towards My First Relationship
« on: December 24, 2005, 04:24 AM »

I have never for once had a desire to be closer to a lady like now. within me i don't seem to have the courage to `break the ice`- tell a lady that i am interested in her. although some have clearly shown in the past to have been interested in me.

I can really be outgoing and have good relational and leadership qualities: that i know. sometimes i just tend to think that starting a relationship now is almost like telling the lady its marriage. this i am scared off, i need things to grow and mature naturally and possible don't how to manage the situation.

I have never been in a relationship before and would love to experience one, at least to grow wiser for the future. by the way i aint talking about sex here i am talking about the real thing.  Sometimes i just wish i could see a woman of my dreams walk up to me and just initiate it because i know i can't.  What's really my headache here? could it be i am shy or what? i hate to believe i am.

Do you have good female friends?  If not, then you are definitely shy.  Check out the shyness discussion.

The good Lord said 'it is not good for man to be alone". This is a normal part of life. Infact I believe you are ready to fall in love. but the question is who are you going to fall in love with?my 2 cents is keep doing good things u enjoy doing. if it is going to library,work,  volunteering, church, school, mosque, etc u may see someone u like. if yu  like her u could be yourself and start small talk and move on from there. I am no relationship expert but I believe this works very well. u may go through her friend or just find oppurtunities to bring up casual disscussions like the weather, the teacher, the job, and u could drop some compliments and just test the waters. from what I read in your post , you are looking for the real thing . I must say that the real thing is step by step . for some its oneday thing for some it takes time. the summary is be casual , let one thing lead to another. it may totally blow a lady off if u say "I am interested in u", to me it would be better to say "hi , d'u know the way to the library? or lets say 'hi , that sermon was good ,what d'u think about it?' u know just casual, every day talk. let one thing lead to the other. my 2 cents.

Like some of the things roses has said already, you need to carry on doing what you like doing. If you have good female friends who you're close to, you never can say, it could be one of them. I ain't a relationship expert but this is what I have to say.

If you see someone you think you like, just compliment every little thing she does for instance, "I love your new hairstyle", (eventhough the hairstyle isn't wonderful) Cheesy, if you see her down, ask her what the problem is and try as much as possible to listen to her. Give her advices on possible ways to ameliorate her situation. After about 2 times of such advice, she would start drawing close and from there, you'd start to learn her kind of person and see the "true" her. You could then know whether to initiate a move or not from what you've seen so far.

I wouldn't really say you're shy like some already said. That virtually everyone is doing a thing at a particular point in time and you're not doesn't mean you're not up to it. Maybe you don't want to and when it's time, it's natural to be nervous and feel that way since it's going to be your first.

If you're really serious about the real thing, I would advice that if you believe in God, just tell it to Him before you make any move.

Take care.

self confidence if you see the girl you want to be with you go get that courage from anywhere and most times they just waiting for you to make the move hardly do you see a girl so openly going for a guy thou it happens and always be your self

Sounds like you're just scared of being rejected. Send me your home address so i can beat the hell out of you and show you that there is nothing to be afraid of. Wink Stop watching movies that place women on high ground like they are godesses and see them for what they truely are, our equals. Wink You said some showed interest so i believe you still have hope. Women work with emotions so you just need to know how to trigger the right emotions. If you are generally boring and shy you'll never get a girlfriend. Try this, i want you to act like the guys they always complain about, i'm not asking you to look in the "what turns women on and off" thread but remember their complaints about some guy who is always obnoxious but in reallity they just don't want anyone to know they are attracted to him. You should know SHAKARA is all they have cept for the career type who still have shakara. Go out and try talking to different ladies you see on your street and go totally crazy, say all kinds of things but nothing offensive just for practice and when you get rejected just know you have nothing to lose since guys do it all the time. And stop hanging out with your geeky friends sitting all day with a PC and a PSP dangit! Angry Wink Cheesy

He's got leadership abilities. Doesn't seem so to me considering he's scared of ladies. Smiley

Talking to a lady about a relationship can be one of the hardest things for a guy. Espescially if he is a newbie Smiley so don't jump on him. It doesnt take leadership skills at all. Nope.

You gotta be smooth and real. Das all.
