I’m pretty shy when it comes to liking someone. I usually wait for the other person to hit on me, then I’m not as shy, but if I’m not sure that they like me, I am afraid of setting myself up for rejection. I’m attracted to both girls and guys, and both are equally difficult for me to come on to. Some times the other person is waiting to see where I stand, and I’m really shy when it comes to that, lol. I don’t know what to do to make it easier for me, any ideas?
Heh, thanks for those tips, but I am actually a really out-going person. I am friendly to all types of people and I can start a conversation with almost anyone. I am also a very independent person, but I often put on a false confidence. I come of as being a tease when really I’m just shy about letting people know my true feelings because I always end up getting hurt. I guess I’m just afraid of being vulnerable, and I can’t get over it and let people in. So how do learn to let my guard down and let someone know I’m attracted to them?
