I’m struggling to speak to the guy I like in person, but we’re fine talking over text?

There’s a guy [21M] I [20F] have been speaking to. We know each other but have matched on tinder and been chatting a bit, and now moved over to text and Snapchat.

I really like speaking to him. I do think I like him, and I get hints that he likes me, but I still don’t know if he’s just being nice and friendly because we do know each other and have to see each other every week. Like for example, he remembers things I say, and he tells me I’m sweet and he’s good at replying usually, conversations flow well.

But then when we see each other we don’t actually speak at all? We have a lecture together every Thursday and maybe because I have different friends in the class to him, we just don’t end up talking or even saying hi to each other.

To be honest I can’t even look at him because I’m so nervous, and it always makes me think oh god he doesn’t actually like me does he, he is just being nice.

What can I do to increase my confidence so I can actually speak to him? I’m going to make extra effort next week to get there early so there’s a chance. But I don’t know what I’d say either. I don’t want to just go up to him and start speaking because that’s a bit unusual considering we haven’t spoken much in person, and it’s a bit bold (which I am not), but how do I casually just start speaking to him or interact/flirt with him a little bit when I see him??

God it’s so hard. Messaging is so easy but when I see him I’m just all nerves and i just find it easier to not do anything, but that isn’t getting me anywhere.

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n...

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou...
