    Hola!
    I need help. I am 28, kinda newly out as being a lesbian. I've never really been super timid before, but then again I usually date more aggressive people. Now, what I need help with.

    I am seeing a lovely lady. She's 30 and has been out since the dawn of time.
    We have been talking since late October, and hanging out with January. We only get to see each other maybe twice a month because we are both always busy.
    I got the nerve to kiss her at the end of date two.

    However, for some reason I can not get out of my shy bubble to make any moves. Even like holding her hand or kissing her sooner nothing. Its sooooo frustrating. And shes a guarded person so we are both in the same boat. We've even talked about it.

    I start freaking out because I was thinking maybe the feelings arent there or whatnot. But they are. We talk almost all day every day via texts. But I get around her and I turn 12.
    But when I do kiss her, I literally get butterflies.


    Help me get out of my shell!!

    Next time you get together, tell her you checked the manual and you've missed 7 kisses and 3 hugs. And you don't like falling behind so it's time to catch up.

    Yeah, I'm not really sure much else could be added other than, if nothing else it will likely help break the tension.

    OMG! Thats adorable!

    Do you guys just think its shyness, or maybe there just a lack of romantic feelings? Im questioning that shit out of it.

    I'm echoing greatwhale - once you make a move, you will have your answer!

    But also, I think you're being too hard on yourself. Based on what you've written, you're not THAT shy. A timid person wouldn't kiss her at the end of date two :slight_smile: So you definitely have it in you to make a move. Good luck! :thumbsup:
