Going on what Kevin said, i do have a major problem with embarrasment. I cannot stand being humiliated in front of others, even if i am not the one causing it. I absolutely hate it. I think the 'Finding out you're not "all that" since she may say no' may come into it too. i may have to think about that. I saw her today by the way, because i was maybe a bit aloof to her advances (because i was trying to find a way to bring the whole phone number sharing the last time i saw her, and fluffing up the flirting thing as a result) I think she is starting to be the same. Talk about making a hard job harder than it should be

Hi all, I don't consider myself shy. In fact the contrary. However, I have a shyness-related problem. Every day, I meet girls that maybe i would like to get to know a little better. I can chat, flirt etc. with the best of them, but when it comes to someone I get to like a bit more of the others, I notice something. No matter how strong some of these girls come on to me (Not being big-headed, but I get called sexy/cute quite a bit, and women are not slow to approach me in bars), I absolutely cannot ask for a date/phone number/email. I've managed to get by over the years from certain girls taking the first move, and i'm fine in relationships after that. It's simply that one scary step. Is something wrong with me? Or to phrase it better, what on earth am I scared of? (PS: I'm meeting a 'girl friend' of mine amongst friends sometime soon, quick answers would be great ) Many thanks in advance.

I'm 25 years old now, and broke up with a long term partner a few years ago ago. At that time I moved back in with my mother and her partner. She's been pressuring me into finding another partner, while i'm happier with rather casual relationships ( i've not been with anyone over three months since i broke up ages ago, and as such they have not met my parents.). How do i get her to keep her nose out? We are rather close since her breakup with my father when I was young. However, i'd rather her not interfere. Any help is good help. Thanks in advance
