Why do I fear intimacy and affection?

There’s a girl that is best friends with my cousin’s girlfriend that my cousin introduced me to. I’ve met her only once. My cousin’s girlfriend is playing matchmaker I guess and told me that her friend thinks I’m a gentleman and is interested. I hardly talked to her the time we met in person. I have her on Snapchat and we talk on there, but nothing personal. I don’t feel emotions like most people do. She’s a nice girl and would like to take it further, but I just tense up and shutdown when I try to think of something to talk to her about other than about work and weather. I don’t know how to make a move. I was never taught how to interact with women. I do know the longer I wait the less interest she’ll have. Any advice?

Do you genuinely like her?

Don't feel obligated to venture into anything because someone set it up for you.

If it's not organic then somehow there's less thrill in the entire story.

Hang out with her- if neither can keep a spark going -then it's clear- to look on and stay as friends.

@iQuit Well I feel like I didn’t get the chance to connect because I didn’t talk to her much when we met. My cousin told me she’s into a lot of the same stuff that I’m into. Plus my cousins girlfriend was with us and kept being a chatter box most of the time so I feel like that didn’t give me the time to get to know her.

@VulcanGalaxy then meeting her one on one is the key to know whether or not there's a connection.

It's cool being similar but if neither genuinely can be there and feel emotionally invested then it won't ever become more.

I genuinely wish you the best 💜 may you connect on a deeper level and it all be very easy

I couldn’t keep up with the cousins so I give up. I have no suggestions.

Just be yourself. Talk about anything...
