Advice for a Shy Lesbian

Friday July 28, 2006
Shy Susan needs help. She is with a woman 26 years older than her and she is too shy to ask for what she wants in the relationship. When her lover asks her what she wants, Shy Susan doesn't know what to say. "I have thought of things, but I am too shy to tell them to her." Is there any hope for Shy Susan? Here is my advice for a Shy Lesbian.

Don’t be succumbed by shyness. Just think, if you are not comfortable letting her know what you want, how can you bring a different matter to her? Sex is not the most important role in a relationship, but it is a major factor. Unless you plan to keep pleasing yourself, while you are in a relationship, then by all means - viva la vida sola. Just tell her, it’ll be awkward, but in the end - you’ll be glad that you get what will make you happier. :)

i know where you are coming from. i have always been shy and now i am in my first lesbian relationship. it is scary for me sometimes to be with someone that is so experienced and it makes me second guess what i am doing when we are together. just trust you gut cause if you love her then everything else will come to you.
