    Riiiight


    Okay after a good 15 year sin the closet
    and only 3 months of being fully out.


    Relationships arent my strong point.


    My friends are so used to seeing me being so care free.
    And i mean TOTALLY care free.

    No-one could hold me back from anything.
    All this sentimental, love and crap disgusted me as i was always looking at it from a logical point of view.

    Okay heres the problem.
    I have a boyf.
    He's great :slight_smile:.

    but when im around him i have this front.
    Im too afraid to be myself around him.
    How can i be care free and care about someone....
    I can't.

    Even my friends say
    "i cant imagine you with a boyfriend"
    and thinking of it.
    Neither can i.

    I think i need to just have some more time and be relaxed around him.
    But im not sure...

    what you yous think?

    Well, it can't hurt to spend more time around him. If you don't know him that well then perhaps you need to before you can really connect.

    Spend some time with him and just talk. Don't be afraid to be honest, in fact if you tell him that he can ask you anything (and you answer truthfully) and then you can ask him anything, it will probably help to open up the lines of communication so that you can start feeling more open and comfortable being yourself around him.

    Hi there! Well, if he is your first boyfriend, you might need some time to get used to it. You seem to know already quite a few things about him which is good as it allows you to continue to 'build' a relationship with him. Try to relax and just be yourself.

    With time you will learn to care about him. I am sure you do care about your friends, in particular if you have known them for a time and they have become very good or best friends. The same goes for your boyfriend. The more you are around him, the more you get to know him and the more feelings you develop for him, the more you will find yourself caring about him. With time it will come.

    Hope this helps!
