Hello

to start my partner usually is the one talking to people and gaining the friends/partners because I'm extremely shy. we just had like (i don't know what else to call it) playdates with this one guy long distance just to feel each other out but anyway that didn't workout (it was a lack of chemistry between all of us and really it was only for a week). the only problem is I'm feeling hurt because I did try to be friendlier and start conversation with him but he ended up for most the part ignoring me unless my partner was around it felt rather lonely. sitting in silence on voice gets uncomfortable after a bit. we both felt this was the final red flag in our short time together with him.

The advice I'm looking for is this I can't tell if I was the problem because of my shyness and want a little help breaking my shell so to speak so that I have some ideas to fall back on when I get tongue tied.

anyway thanks in advance :)
