Don't ask her to be your girl first off. Ask her out on a date first. Go to a movie, or bowling, or pizza, or something. Get to know her a little better so your not so hesitant, then ask her to be yours exclusively.

I'm afraid of... myself, being alone, and people finding out my secrets.

Its never easy once you have your walls up so high no one finds them worth climbing to get in anymore. Fear is only one part of it for myself there are many reasons for locking yourself away from others. Give yourself time and learn as much as you can about yourself while spending this time alone. The better you know yourself the less likely you are to be mistreated again if and when the times comes that you are ready to.\n-NmD!

to be honest im afraid of u

You shouldnt be scared but its okay that you are.  i would be scared too.  Just keep in mind that you are still yourself and that eventually you will meet people.  Dont change yourself to get friends.  Also, when people meet you and see that you are new they might try to suck you in.  Dont get lost in the wrong crowd.  My friend was new to the school and he simply just acted like he wa sthere all long and made new friends the first day that he came.  but we arent all like that.  So good luck.

Open the door and walk outside. It's as simple as that. There's an odd mix of people all around you and everywhere you go. It seems like you got locked into a comfort zone, regarding your social group. Interact with people you normally wouldn't at the places you normally go (i.e. school, shopping, work, gym, club, and yes- even at the bar). Good luck.

Sounds to me like you need friends who will encourage you and be confidence builders. You're going it alone and your shyness is holding you back and this is where good friends will step in and give you support. Reach out, make friends who will help you feel more secure about yourself. Some of us here list our emails and message links to be of help. Take advantage of this and the experience others may have that can offer you support and advice as friends should.\n\nBest Wishes!!

Probably same as me.  Unable to open up completely to someone.

You should talk to your girlfriend, explain that your nervous and why your nervous, she might be able to put you mind at ease. Or if you feel to uncomfortable just say you can't make it. No point going away if your not going to enjoy it : )

Asking is not an issue, but maybe you should think about changing your profile name. best of luck in your pursuits!

I have the same problem but I would go up to that person and ask them out. I mean I get nervous when I do that. So be confident and go ask him out. Be yourself

I do that too.  When my roommate was out of town, I had to check everywhere - Under the bed, in the shower, in the closet... just to make sure I was the only one in the apartment.  But there is a point where you go overboard.  You can't always be afraid, but a girl has got to be careful these days!  Maybe talking to a couselor would make you feel more secure.  Or take a self-defense class.  I did and now I feel like if I DID find someone hiding in my apartment I could kick thier butt!
