shy guy trouble

I've never been that high in the confidence stakes and with self esteem but over the last year or so have really improved. There's a guy I really like and think he may feel the same but I know his confidence and experience is rock bottom. Therefore I think it would be the only way if I made the first move. I think he'd be flattered but I wouldn't wanna scare him off. What do you think? I suppose I could just go for it next time we're at a party and if he pulls away I'll blame it on the alcohol. Oh it's all so confusin for us girls!!

no I think it's made me like him more, I suppose it's a bit of a challenge and he has the most decent personality in the whole world...:rolleyes:

Yes I know, but there are other girls that do get put off by this and just move onto another guy (the ones that make an effort) :rolleyes: ....

Go for it!I did that, this summer and it worked so well... I've even read in one magazine that guys like it when girls do the first step! And it's also more fun... Trying out wouldn't hurt you :biggrin:
