Rather than being love-shy, i just think so little of myself, personality-wise, but mostly physically, that i can't even entertain the fact that anyone would want to be with me. And so far, nobodies proven me wrong.
Love-Shy?

Never had a boyfriend -- lol, I think that qualifies as love-shy.

Does anyone here suffer love-shyness? If not now, have you ever? Does/did it cause you any degree of stress? less

04/26/2012
I definitely think that I am, but it's something that I am sort of used to by now.

I have been but am engaged now Everything felt natural with her and it was easy to relax and warm up to my fiance.
04/27/2012
I'm not love shy.
04/27/2012
i'm poly, and am always very generally shy with people, to about the same extent when i'm attracted to them.
i have a boyfriend and we're both shy but we giggle a lot and try to get past it

I am 100% love shy. For me even thinking about being in a cuddly cute relationship makes me want to puke, and it makes me extremely anxious. Right now I'm in the perfect place with my partner. He knows I want and need distance so he lets me be when i need it

I think I'm afraid to really be myself (even though I'm awesome) with guys so I end up attracting jerks. No good. I really hate it- I know that I just have to get over caring what a guy thinks and *know* that if he doesn't like the type of person I am then he's not worth it, but it isn't always easy to remember that.... merp.

I hadn't heard the phrase before, but yeah. Never had a boyfriend, and last time I kissed a guy, it was my best friend and I had a light panic attack. Had no idea what was going on until after. He's dating my sister's (extremely clingy) friend now, and I'm still pining a little. -_-'
07/10/2012
I wasn't love shy but I was completely disinterested till I met my partner.
07/21/2012
I suffer from this, coupled with the fact that i have anxiety disorders, so it really strains any and all relationships i try to get into. Sometimes it's so bad it causes panic attacks and I have to break off the relationship.
07/21/2012
never been love shy
07/21/2012
I've had social anxiety that has affected my relationships, but never to a degree that I would use the term "love-shy," because it doesn't keep me from having relationships.
07/23/2012
I used to be love-shy but after I had my son I just stopped caring about getting rejected. Now I am not saying to go and get pregnant lol. I realized it just didn't matter any more to me. I am weird and awkward at times if you don't like me that is not my problem lol. I know I will eventually find someone that fits me.
07/23/2012
I have anxiety. It takes me a long time to be comfortable. I attempt to be funny and fail. I can't eat in front of someone new so dinner is off limits. I alternate between talking to much and silence. I tell way way too much too fast about myself.

oh and i've been told i rely on my sexuality, and that i end up getting hurt because of that and atrracting the wrong people
08/15/2012
asking people out is the scariest thing ever
08/16/2012
I've always had difficulties starting a relationship, but continuing one isn't a big deal for me.
10/10/2012
I do have an anxiety issue, but thankfully it has never been with human contact. I love to talk, and engage, and be naughty with people! It's fantastic! Haha, but I was dating shy for a while...I just didn't want another crappy relationship to commit to when I knew it wouldn't be worth it. I got over that and I found the most amazinnnng guy. Edventually, we all figure out what works for us!
10/10/2012
I'm definitely shy about asking, but once I know they're interested, I'm confident
10/11/2012
Not love shy, love standoffish.
10/11/2012
I've pretty much always been love-shy and still am...which is why I'm still single four years after my last relationship.
10/11/2012
i did not used to be, but i seem to be now

it is a hard thing to be going through
