Doing nothing is not an option any more!

Panda

I've never really had much experience of relationships, and now I've met somone I really want to get to know better I can't carry on like this. It's likely going to be a complete disaster, but I'm already regretting doing nothing. 

I've known this person for over a year now, and waiting is not helping me - every time I see her I want to say something - anything - but never can, and always end up looking out of place, which isn't helped by the fact that she's shy and quiet as well. How is this going to work? Just doing nothing means I'm probably going to regret this for a very long time. :-( 

Any advice welcome.

  • Normalish,  I like the idea and I have tried similar things before but it always ends up too far away from my action plan ad I lose the plot of the conversation very quickly - I'll give it another go if I can. Electra, small objectives is another good idea. We know each other through VI form, so a bit of both, but it's complicated by various other factors and events - I won't go into those here in the interests of confidentiality.

     As for waiting until Valentines day, let's just say I attempted something similar with flowers way too soon - much confusion there! Fortunately it wasn't interpreted in the wrong way and did no serious damage, as I think everyone knew I was a bit eccentric like that!
