New to dating

[NikkiR]

First off I'm new here, so Hi!

 

I need some help/advice... I've never been into dating very much. I've always been happy with the celebrity crushes and up until now that has been fine. I always felt in the shadows at school because my friends were all the good lookers and I was 'one of the lads'. I've been into wrestling since I was young and it built up a masculinity in me that never bothered me.

 

However about a month ago I joined a gym and one of the guys that work there keeps catching my eye. He's really good looking and I feel myself getting 'hot under the collar'. We say 'hi' and every now and then have a conversation. I'm sure that he is just being friendly and welcoming but I like him.

 

As much as I would love it if he liked me I know he probably doesn't, he's just a friendly guy. But it made me realise that I have know idea what I'm doing when it comes to guys, dating, hell even flirting.

 

I've had two boyfriends. One for about two weeks while at school and one for about a month but he went back to uni and decided to call it off. So, having not dated for the last five years I'm feeling really anxious and my confidence if extremely low.

 

I've always felt like I was a little kid and as much as I advanced in some things at school, socially I was lacking, even when it comes to friends I feel like i'm only just getting to where most friends were when we started secondary school.

 

Can someone offer advice.

Nikki.. if you feel insecure.. and unconfident.. about yourself, then you should seek help. You have to love yourself before you can expect another peseon to be in love with you..

 

If however, you feel unconfident about your GAME... with men... I say, test the water before going for a swim. Soo.. this guy is the "goal" and you excell at things like this.. lets call it a challenge..

 

You need to date a few people before trying to just get with a guy like this.. soooo... I'd say go online onto a website and try to meet a few guys.. meet up tiwht them at a mutual place and try to get broken into the dating world... good luck, its hard.

 

The whole thing will be hard.. but.. once you feel more confident about your dating/romantic skills... it will be easier to go after the one that you really want...
