gd1039 Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 It hit me today while I was thinking about some stuff. I remember/know how to have a relationship, but not a girlfriend. What I mean, I know what things anre like and how they should be once you've been dating someone for a while. but I've forgotten what its like when you first start dating. This brings me to my current problem. I've met this great girl and we are definitly interested in eachother. The problem is that we are both a little shy so we had hung out a few times but neither of us knew one another liked the other. I kept chickening out on making a move to show her I liked her, and I couldn't take waiting and wondering any longer so I just called her and told her. She said she was feeling the same way. We haven't gotten a chance to go out since then but we have talked on the phone a bunch of times. Now, shes out of town for the week and won't be back until this weekend. I know I've been rambling. Basically, I feel strange because I've never been in a situation where we knew one another liked eachother before any physical contact was made. Usually there is flirting and crap and you just kind of know. Now, we know but there has only been very limited flirting. I'm not even positive why I am posting this. I guess I am just looking for some reminders about what the begining stages of dating are like. Also, the fact that we know but nothing has been done (words are different than actions) makes it trickier, and more nerveracking) for me. Suggestions?
Merin Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 The start of dating.. Your heart starts beating faster when the phone rings.. it might be him/her. You find yourself smiling.. A LOT You hang on every word.. You analyze the crap out of every word.. You can't wait to see that person.. can't seem to get enough of them.. You seem to be able to talk and time gets away from you.. You see things out and it makes you think of that person.. It's amazing.. A week isn't any time at all to wait for her to get back.. bet you can't wait! Yay for you!

I would think it would make it easier knowing u both like each other beforehand.
laRubiaBonita Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 so go ahead and flirt, just re-instill the fact that you like her and are interested! it is easier if you know she likes you back, no rejection to worry about. flirting helps lower your Shy-guards, it will help loosen her up if You show her you are confident enough to put yourself out there.

I think I hit what makes this...different, than before. It used to always seem that looks and the ridiculous things you had in common is what held it together in the beginning until you realized you actually liked the person on the inside. This time, I've gotten to know her before anything came out that we liked one another. Instead of me being all crazy over "wow we have so much in common" I'm actually crazy about her. There is just something about her that I can't get enough of. I can't explain exactly what I am thinking but I'll try. I know I actually like HER, and I feel like I need to rush to show it. On the other hand, I have no clue what she is thinking (other than her telling me she likes me). I actually get the feeling I am more into her than she is into me, but I also know she wouldn't come right out and show it or say it. I think that if I don't hurry and show it the whole thing is gonna pass me by. ::

Sweet and good to go that you're all about her.. she obviously is into you as well.. you don't need to rush to do anything drastic.. show her interest, spend time with her.. take all things in slowly.. you don't need to rush this. Good Luck with things.. (but yeah.. I don't think you'll need luck )
