Yesterday I went out to a movie with my gf and we realized that there was kind of an awkwardness about it. I think we're both kind of shy toward each other, and we decided to get to know each other a bit better and get more comfortable with each other. Until then, we broke it off. We're still good friends and are going to my senior prom, but still I'm kinda down.

Fucking terrific. For once I meet someone I like who probably likes me back and I screw it up for myself. This happens every damn time I'm in a relationship. Things are awkward because I'm shier than most and I seldom take many risks. I hate it, but I can't figure out how to change it. Help?!
Pal, you are not alone in the boat. I am shy, too. I don't know what it is these days, when people who want to get married, don't, fearing that they would be a statistic in divorce rates.

I dated a couple of women in my lifetime, but nothing serious ever came out of that.

Best of luck to you.
