Awkwardness?

[deadpaw]

Kay, a few days ago, my brother found me on this site and asked me to do a post for him since he didnt have an account and couldnt be bothered to create one.

He's 13 and has just asked out this girl but he needs tips on how to get over awkwardness. Apparently, they were fine before, but now they're a bit awkward around each other.

Any tips on how to get over this? :D Thanks everyone

If he suddenly feels awkward around his girlfriend for no reason he's probably to young to have one.

I agree, it's good to be mature about it if you want to have a girlfriend.

You can be awkward with someone regardless of your age.

Did something happen between the two of you that would cause you two to be awkward? If you don't know then just break the ice and ask - it's what I'd do. I'd say "things have been kinda awkward between us. is everything alright, something wrong?"

Maybe its all awkward because he knows that she knows that he likes her, and now that their going out things have changed. He will get over it

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too.

That's what I did, and it pretty much solved all the issues we were having. Remember that you have to be actively a part of your relationship and always know at all times what's going on with both of you- if something's not right on either side, you must COMMUNICATE. There is absolutely positively no chance whatsoever at having a good relationship without talking about EVERYTHING. Well, that's what I think, anyway.

Lol, i'll pass it on to him.

Edit: He says thanks, he'll ask her.

Good, I'm glad :)

I very much disagree with this point. I find a relationship in which you're both somewhat distant can work out even better.

I don't mean shutting the person out completely, just example:

My current girlfriend is two years older than me, we can go several days without talking/seeing each other. But when we're together everything's cool. We trust each other and know we won't cheat, but we don't want the relationship to become what most girls want, which is (blah blah emotions boring) to guys. She likes to have fun, and we're keeping the relationship fresh. We don't hang out, just to hang out, we hang to party/watch movies/ go clubbing / go drinking.

If you need to know everything going on with the person, you're considered clingy.

Oh no no no, that's not what I meant; you don't have to be the stalker I-need-to-know-exactly-where-you-are-at-all-times kind of person, good lord no. I meant you need to talk about everything in your relationship, as in don't just leave things up in the air and assume things. Like if you feel there's awkwardness in the relationship, don't just say, "Oh well, maybe it'll pass"

Okay, makes much more sense.
