Is it normal to be super nervous/shy in beginning of a relationship?

8 Comments

Hi guys I just started dating someone & I am so shy/nervous I can’t even be the real me around them lol!! Granted, we just started dating, & I barely know him well enough yet, but I am so shy I stutter like an idiot, can’t even look him in the eye, & cross my arms around him & stare at the floor haha.

I’m normally a very confident person, but this guy is so different/attractive I can’t even be myself yet lolol. He’s already suave & relaxed.

I am so on edge/butterflies it’s hard for me to do anything lol!!

Is it normal to be this insanely nervous/shy?? I hope this doesn’t cause communication issues later on. or that I can’t speak up. Haha, I feel like a complete idiot! I need to be more confident

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Yeah it is normal, especially if you're new to dating.

    Hmm. I’d say normal to a point. But if after a while you don’t loosen up around him, I’d question whether this person is right for you. If you feel so defensive around him, that you can’t let your hair down, maybe you’d be better off with someone else.

    This is normal. The more you two hangout, the more you'll be able to open up.

    I'm in the same situation except I've only been dating for only 4 months.
