Too shy to date at all...

I'm 17 and I've never been on a date, or had a boyfriend. I'm the shyest person I know.

I've been asked out by a lot of guys over the course of time, and I always say no. Even when there has been two situations where I actually really liked the guys back, I was just too shy to admit it.

I hate myself for it, because I missed out on so much.

I really want to try to date one day.
Any advice on how can I get over how overly shy I am?

I get minipanic attacks when they say sweet things, or ask me to give them a chance. The first thing that pops up into my mind is "Say no... say you want to be just friends" even if I actually like them back.

Is It Normal?

  • just explain to the guy that you are very shy and it will take a while for you to open up. if he is a nice guy, he will understand.
    when they ask you out, suggest going just for a coffee, just a short date and to break the ice and then as you get more confident, you can go to dinner and then to see a movie and anything else that you would like to do.

  • Ask someone else to tell him. Do it by note. Or do it by mail.

    Is it possible that since you only liked two, you'll say yes to someone even better? I don't know.

  • Just come over to my house tonight and GRIND on my cock. After you've felt what you're missing, YOU will actually ask guys out on dates. Trust me. After I was gang raped I couldn't stop dating people... You'll see.
