Ginger_Warrior Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 This isn't much of a "relationship" question, but does anyone else here feel awkward talking to people of the opposite sex in front of your family, or theirs? I have no problem talking to girls if she is a family friend, but when it comes to unfamiliar girls, I feel very weird talking to them when my parents (or hers) is present. I know that "don't talk to strangers" is meant to teach young children not to accept things from unknown people and that my parents won't mind me talking to girls, it still feels awkward. I certainly felt like that when I was around girls' houses. When I was at home I was a little bit more open because I'm in a familiar environment but it still felt awkward. It felt like people prying into to mine and her conversations, even if they weren't all that private, was an invasion of my personal life. If they're a family friend, the conversation's not really a part of my personal life anyway. :lol: Then, I feel awkward talking to people anyway. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you want to feel awkward around a girls' parents, try spending the night at her house and trying to convince her parents to let the two of you sleep together only to have her mom go off on a ramble about sex and related topics before laughing and saying it's ok. Seriously, it happened to me a few weeks ago and then I spent the night with her last night and the same thing happened. It's always so hard to talk to her mom in the morning 'cause we're not exactly "good" haha :P Internet Marketing For Newbies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGoddessI Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I absolutely hated my parents breathing down my neck every 2 seconds, trying to listen to my conversations. Then again I was always up to no good 8-) The only people who tell you that you can't do something are those who have already given up on their own dreams so feel the need to discourage yours.

IGoddessI Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 It just says something about how gutless you are that you can't even ask those sorts of questions face to face. I was too shy to ask my fiance' out face to face. I asked him over the net because I knew he was leaving for the army in about a week for 6 months and I only had a fraction amount of time to gain the courage to ask him. I knew within myself if I didn't ask him right there and then over msn, I would lose my shot. It worked out for me. If being gutless got me a son and soon to be husband, then being gutless rocks. I'd never break up with someone over msn or text message though. I feel too bad if I do that.

Faux Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 So what did she say Shadow? She hasn't replied yet. But I'll tell you now the answer is most likely no :lol: I barely ever talked to her and I'm not sure if she's into older guys. I always hated that.

I don't handle stress or awkward situations in the first place heh. I asked a girl out on MSN one time... we dated for 3 years after that. It really doesn't matter how it starts. It's how you experience it that matters. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a person cannot handle asking another person out, they are not ready for a relationship. How can you expect to do anything with that person if they can't talk to you?

Lenticular_J Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Uh oh. One of my closest friends, I'm pretty sure she's starting to have feelings for me. And, I really like her. It's just gonna be wierd. My best friend has a date this weekend, and we're likely going to be accompanying him. Hoping it'll be a good way to start off the year - thinking that it won't be much different to us just all hanging out again (we haven't all hung out together in a few weeks). My friend ain't exactly the best with the ladies. He's too used to hanging out with older guys, his sibling's friends - me and him both are. Buuuuuut, I think he'll be better if another one of our friends doesn't come. He's an [wagon] to girls, even though he's still our buddy. Huh. Now I bet I'll feel wierd asking one of my closest friends to help us double-date with our other ... closest ... friend. Man, we just need to bring some weed and it'll be a total That 70's Show moment. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
