Me thinks she doth protest too much :p


LOL he has that affect on everyone.

:confused:

my wonderful facet is a :baa: ? :D


And the peanut I expected to speak up was Steph. lmao

Let's not forget that it's easier to speak online than in person. Face to face interaction is always more, I don't know...decisive? Or maybe confrontational is a better word to use. I mean, when you aren't getting any results over the phone, you meet with someone in person and it usually results in some type of resolution to your situation. If you're trying to merge into a busy lane of traffic and nobody will let you in...make eye contact with someone and odds are, they'll let you in. Face to face interaction makes the situation personal, so it can be a lot more intimidating. That's why it seems contradictory to hear me say that I'm shy. But try meeting me in a social setting. No, I mean PLEASE!!!!! Someone meet me! :drive: :wine: :hug: :d: :D

ROFL nice little emoticon story there, Shy Boy!

Amen WI

I'm really glad I read this thread. I too am very shy and have a difficult time approaching people. I don't really go to parties or to bars, so my only socialization with people is in public or at work. I confess that sometimes fear of embarassment paralyzes me. There was this one guy I used to see every day on my morning train, who I thought was very handsome. I thought of different ways of approaching him so I could talk to him. But the more I waited the more the fear developed until I finally gave up. Looking back on it, I wish I would have just tried from the beginning! A single moment of fear is better than days of nervousness and regret. So I'd just say go for it! You've got nothing to lose, but loneliness.
