girls.. I need help

[frekinrican5]

Okay girls. Im a 17 year old male whos never been kissed, or been on a date cause I have very stricked parents so I dont go out. The thing is I met a old girl-friend who I adore now. The thing is we exchange # and aim But due to my situation we just been talking on aim and asked her out. I begged my rents for one date and it happened. But I was afraid of being myself and stood quiet. We broke up, but we still talked. to make a long story short we decided to have a date to see if we can really be together.

the question is should I be myself? Im afraid that she wont like me truely for being myself... Idk wat to do cause Im a goofy person and I like to have fun but If I do wat if she thinks Im not her type... please help and explain, thanks!

Of course you should be yourself (only with good manners, if that is an issue). If you falsely represent yourself and she ends up liking you, it wouldn't be the REAL you she likes, right?

Who have you been pretending to be on AIM? If she doesn't know your personality by now, something is not right.

LOL okay let me explain a little more... for some odd reason, I guess since its not really being face to face, when I talk on aim Im usually very confident, smooth talker, and very alpha male but outside of online Im kinda of a shy softspoken nice guy. So after weeks of talking she expected mr. smooth talker not shy old me. But when I get used to you that side usually comes out... idk what to do... Im not exactly brad pit either Im only 5'5, kinda overweight even though i look like 120, average build....

You should definitely be yourself! If you are not yourself and you did start dating, you WOULD get sick of being someone else and go back to yourself... if then you started being yourself again... she may not like that person... save yourself A LOT of heartache and just be yourself...

Unfortunately I cannot give you any advice on what to do when you are around her... it is A LOT easier to feel more calm and less shy online... maybe if you started talking to her on the phone more so you are more used to her voice... instead of AIM..
