Hiya, I'm sort of on a journey of self discovery lately, and in doing so I'm opening up to trying new experiences. I've never really been with a guy before, but I've often fantasized about it. I'm currently in an open relationship, and I'm seeking to meet a guy to share with a new experience.

The problem I have is, I'm shy, bottom line I always get nervous or chicken out. Does anyone have any advice, or maybe some way to help with confidence? I always feel I may just sound stupid, or I get giddy and embarrassed about what direction the conversation is heading. I can't really explain it, but my reactions never really help anything. I hope I'm not asking too much, or for that matter I've asked in the right place.
