Argh, I hate this! I can't talk to my own girlfriend in person. For some reason, I don't know why, I just can't do it. I'm fine over the internets or on the phone, but face to face I suck. Any advice would be great, as long as its not "lol ur just 14 you dont need a girlfriend" or things of that ilk.
Because the whole meeting girls over internet thing is relatively new, number 1 tip is if you like ANY girl, get to know her in person a lot first.
Discussions on MSN can be sweet and all too, but you also feel a lot more comfortable talking to her in person. Best advice I can ever give is if your gonna ask a girl out, make sure you can tell her that in person without hesitation.
I was in the same situation 2 years ago. I had a girlfriend in the same school as me, but we never talked at school, only MSN. We went on one date and it was really awkward, cause it was really the first time we met in person instead of eyeing each other at school. It was awkward because me and her shared almost all our feelings for each other over texting, it feels really weird when you are face-to-face.
Relationship didn't last long either.
You just need to be around her more. You'll get used to it, eventually.
