Shy Guy
Growing up, I've always known that I was a very shy kid. I found it hard to talk to people and that always pissed Dad off, especially when he sends me on errands and I mess it up. So when I got to eighteen years of age, I told myself I was done being shy. I was no longer a kid and needed to stop acting like one. I started doing things the normal shy me wouldn't, that was how I knew I could train myself not to be shy. Trust me, it was difficult but as time went on, it all started to feel normal for me.
And when it was time for me to leave home for the University, I had silently prayed that God should give me friends who aren't as shy as I used to be, friends that could always motivate me to do things I normally wouldn't. But then they say the prayers of a sinner is an abomination to God so you know the rest of the story...
The reason why I choose to talk about my shyness today is because there happen to be this lady who works down the street from where I live, I happen to have an "interest" in her but honestly don't know how to go about it.
I call it "an interest" because I don't want to be quick to say that I'm in love with her because that is what everyone says this days. They think everything is love until they really get to know that person and find out that they just really want to be just friends with that person.
My friend claims he loves her and would love to date her but then remember I said God didn't answer my prayers about having a friend not as shy as me, so he's terrified to speak to her and though he might not say it, but I know he's silently waiting on me to make the first move so that he can talk to her through me.
But with the looks of things, that obviously isn't going to happen anytime soon because I'm not ready to move on to that next phase of my life where I can see someone I like and just walk up to that person to start a random conversation. Maybe I will be ready in the future but for now, I'm just going to enjoy watching from afar.
Many people experience shyness too , infact that was one of the factors that made blind dating become so popular in the society...
Yeah that's so true. But isnt't the blind date going to be weird if they're both shy?
I mean what are they going to say to each other? 😅
Most shy people tend to only find it difficult to start the dating..but when it starts then the shyness begins to reduce,so the blind dating helps to solve the first part which is starting the dating...then when they are so used to each other,it makes the other part easier more convenient for them...
Hmm interesting but I've never really been so shy that I felt like going on a blind date. I always get to figure it out at the end of the day, though I don't feel the same way for this one.
Well let's see what happens, I've got my fingers crossed.
Face your fears...You can overcome the shyness towards the person...winks
I will think about it. 😅
Lol Don' t just think about it , Act on it.
Hi @prayzz, I'm a very shy guy too, up until now. Being shy has its pros and cons and you don't really need to force yourself to get rid of that trait of yours. But I too do realize that being shy will get in the way of some things, in this case, you being interested in other people. I too was very shy when I tried to talk to my soon-to-be girlfriend, but I realized that if I did not do anything, nothing will ever happen between us. My advice is take a chance. Trust me you'll regret not trying. Good luck!
The fact that you called her your soon-to-be girlfriend is so funny.
It's the confidence for me. 😂😂
Anyways, thanks for the advise and I wish you luck on making her your girlfriend soon.
Yes I called her that because she is my current girlfriend now hahhaaha. It took a lot of courage to talk to her, and asking her out, it definitely paid off
Wow! Congratulations.
Now I think that's all the motivation I need. 😅
Thank you and Good luck!!
Hahahahaha, are you trying to say the prayer was ignored.
So, you and your friend are interested in the same lady? My advise will be to walk up to her and start a friendship which may end up leading to a relationship, but if you don't do anything you may end up regretting it.
Me and this boy are always interested in the same lady and at the end of the day, they end up friendzoning us.
It's like a ritual and we keep doing it over and over again. 😂
😂😂 You both should make up your minds. Let one person leave the lady and maybe if you both combine forces for just one person, they won't have for friendzone both of you.
That's actually a good idea but who's gonna step down for the other, that's where the real problem is.. I know I won't. 😂
😂😂 Well the only way to win this is to first make a move. May the best man win😁
Yup, may the best man win.

Thank you.
Keep enjoying watching from afar until she's taken care far away where it's beyond your view. If you want I can help you talk to her 😉. You can bank on me you know!
😂😂😂 I might take you up on that. I don't need you talking to her though, I just will need some few tips from you.
Ohk! I'm ready to deliver 🤣
