So, first off my guy-friend asked my out on Friday. He flung me a note in language arts class. By lunchtime I had given him the note back, and of course, I said yes.

I'm not going to tell you my age, because you guys will tell me that 'I'm too young to be in a relationship'. So, yeah, let's just say I'm...young. ;)

Anywho, we haven't been a thing for very long...but we /never/ talk to eachother. Everytime I'm semi-close to him my friends start giggling and nudging me while saying suggestivly 'Nudge, nudge'. It's so annoying. I tell them to stop and they don't, I've even tried DITCHING them. -.- Once they even tried to put my around around his neck...honestly I think that is taking it too far. So, today, I hear from his friend casually that he (my guy, let's call him....John) is sad, angry and confused because I won't talk to him. I mean...I don't see what I'm doing /wrong/. I am a typically shy girl, and it is akward to have a 'boyfriend'. He is my first one, and unfortunatley this stuff doesn't come naturally to me. I get nervious around him and freeze up...and in the halls whenever I see him my heart starts beating fast as heck. Am I right by thinking he should make an effort to talk to me also...? I mean It's not like I'm /ignoring/ him, he talks, I respond.

Gosh, It's not letting my edits go through. I had more I wanted too add. -.-

lol... i'm kinda curious what you guys are actually doing. is this just some title thing? like, he asked you to be his gf and you really don't have any plans on doing something together (like going to the mall or movies)??

regardless, i think if you have issues with speaking to your boyfriend, then you probably shouldn't have one. this is true for those who are 12.... 23.... or 55.

are you correct in thinking he should make an effort to talk to you?

maybe. but from what i can tell -- he's the one sending you notes to ask you out, he's the one making the first moves (he talks, i respond). methinks it is you that needs to make a bit more effort.

Yeeeah. There was this guy I really liked but we never really had much to talk about (didn't have close to anything in common) so it would never have worked out. If you can't be comfortable enough with yourself to talk to your own boyfriend, then you guys probably shouldn't be in a relationship.

If he wanted to go out with you it means he has an interest in who you are and your well-being. If he judges you for what you say then he isn't right for you. But you know he's willing to talk to just talk about life, your day, where you've been and where you are going.
