"i wish you were like this in person"?

Question

hey everyone! well heres the deal, i have been texting and talking to this guy from my school on the computer and on the phone for a few months now and we always have cute conversations. theyre interesting, funny, even flirtatious at times. the only problem is, in person im so.. blah. i come across as boring and shyer than online or on the phone. he's even said to me online, "i wish you were like this in person." that hurts because i feel like we have so much chemistry, except when we actually speak face-to-face. i tend to get shy because its way easier when theres a computer or a phone between me and him; in person theres nothing in between me and his beautiful eyes. i was wondering if this has happend to anyone before and what i can do to improve the situation and act how i do online or on the phone, in person. thanks so much! all answers are appreciated!!

Answer 1

haha. wow, when i read this all i could think of was my boyfriend. we got to know eachother really well over instant messaging. he was soo different online than in person because hes very shy. I thought about how much more interesting he was online than in person, but theres really nothing i could do to make him open up when we were face to face. basically, i was the one who had to suck it up and wait. I had to get him to come out of his shell and it took a while, but now that he has it was absolutely worth my time. And if this guy is serious about you, then he will take the time you need to start feeling comfortable around him. For now just keep talking online and over time you should open up to him.
