Hey everyone, I've been dating this girl for a week now and before that we've been best friends for about 8 months.

When we first started going out, it was going really well. I felt loved, and I loved her. But after the first 2 days, shes been starting to avoid me. The reason: I've been really nervous, and I'm not as funny/outgoing as I was before.

So for the past 3 awkward days at school, of us not talking or hanging out, I knew she was avoiding me and that something was up. So today, after school I talked to her. Basically, I asked if she was avoiding me, and she said no should I? I obviously said no, then I asked if she still likes me, she said yes. I then asked if we should still go out, and well heres where the problem starts. She says, well its really awkward now because it was alot more fun when we were best friends, but now not so much (because I've been nervous). So I asked for a chance, and well I'm very lucky that I got one.

Please, can anyone help me find the funny guy that I was a week ago, and help me make her feel not so awkward when were together?
Thanks.

P.S.--I'm 14 years old, grade 8.

WOW damn your lucky....usually a girl would dump you pretty quick to try and get back the friendship.
Just dont overthink the extra 'stuff' that comes with taking your relationship to the next level. She's going out with you....you've been accepted like that by her! So just relax and be yourself.

Erm.. Act normal? Like... ignore the all nervous bit.. Seriously.. Imagine your just best mates and work on from that.. You just gotta not act nervous... Seriously, that's your only fault. I know in a sense it can be nerve racking cause I've faced similar problems.. But if like you push yourself towards what you want you'll get it! Just don't give in! You know you can do it, I know you can.. just believe in yourself!

Nervous'ness can be beaten!!

Good luck dude!

Thank you so much guys, I'm really confident that me and her can get threw the awkwardness. But its just weird, I mean the first 2 days we were pretty close (if you know what I mean.) but now not so much. I mean I would sit by her at recess and she just moves away, and if I ask to call her she just says something like oh uhh I'm grounded so my cell phone is taken away. But, thanks for the advice!

You didnt rush in too fast? and are you her first boyfriend?

She mays just not know what hit her and is double thinking it, so yeah i'd just give it time.. dont push anything but still let her know that you like her and you are there.

Well first of all I'm gonna point something out that bugs me about people who get into a relationship. You say that you loved this girl, yet by the looks of it, you've only really been going out with her for a week. You can't love someone in that time, simple as. The term should not be used lightly.

I feel that when you have had a really good friendship with someone, which then turns to something more, it's natural to be a little nervous. The fact that she didn't end it with you says that you really mean something to her; I would take friendship over a relationship, any day.

You need to get more confident. Just say to yourself that nothing has changed - to be honest, it really hasn't! When you're in a relationship with someone, you should have to work to be their best friend, as this would make the relationship more enjoyable. But, you shouldn't need to work on this much, because you had that friendship beforehand.

You're in a great position to keep her happy, and it would make it easier for you to get to know each other in more ways. Don't try and push her though - or push yourself. You need to adjust to the fact that it's more than a friendship. Also, maybe she's a little iffy about you being slightly clingy? It's nice for you both to have space. I'm sure you weren't around eahc other all the time when you were friends.
