6 Comments

I’m shy and have social anxiety I am online dating or at least trying it. I like this boy who wants to me but wants to phone call. I have put him off until tomorrow because 1. I’m nervous, shy and anxious and 2. My parents will ask 200 questions... I’ve never had a boyfriend and if I’m talking to some random man in the house who lives miles away well it won’t go down well....
I am 24 butthey are just hard work.
So I’m going to call him tomorrow but I’m so nervous and shy! Any advice ??

    It's just a phone call. What's the worst that can happen?

    It's not like you're meeting on a blind date, where you face the prospect of trying to get away gracefully if the guy turns out to be a total idiot, and there's a possibility he'll turn out to be a psycho stalker who tries to follow you home.

    Don't think of the phone call as your first contact with the guy you're destined to spend the rest of your life with. He's just a guy, and you're going to have a chat to see if you have anything at all in common. If it turns out you don't, then the call will have been good practice for other calls you'll make.

    On-line dating is a numbers game. You will probably loose a few guys before you learn how to socialize better. But no worries, there's lot of guys. The more face time you get, the faster you will learn.

    Just be yourself. If you don't like the way the conversation is going you have the control. You can say you have to go and hang up.

    why not just have online dates and real dates but different people ? you know without mixing the two. Use the online dates to learn about dating and use that knowledge to date real people you meet in life. sort of like on-line college degrees i guess.

    I understand the struggle of online dating. I used to date online and I to was nervous. I've had 4 internet boyfriend's and each of them didn't last. However I did learn more about myself in terms of dating.

    Anyways, Yes dating sites can be dangerous, but it can be quite fun.
    To answer your dilemma, I think you should video chat with him. Not only will you know more about the guy, but you'll have the answer if you should contact with him or not.
