Sometimes being in a relationship is simple... Most often than not, it is complicated. Getting to know someone as acquaintances at first (when introduced by a common friend), then you become friends, then, you find out you like the other person in a "whole new level." Do you usually make the first move? Tell her/him you love her? Or you just let things take their course and let magic do the talking?

In my case, I did not meet my bf through my friends. It was just an accident. I am just surfing the net and wanted to learn new languages and I signed up on the site that is giving opportunity to its members to learn. I meet him there. He saw my profile and send a friend request to me.I accepted it and that was the start of our friendship.We talk by means of messenger. I was a student that time and so busy with school stuffs. Whenever I will not be online for a day, he calls me on phone and ask me how I am. Everytime I will not be online, he always call me to check how I am.My family notice it and start to ask questions. I became curious also because I feel that his actions is unnatural if he just want friendships. Because of that, I ask why is he that way. He did not reply to my question and I thought I offended him. But after that, he send me email telling me he wants to court me. He told me that he was so shy to tell me his feelings. And since I initiate by asking, he wants to grab that chance to tell me how he feels.He is a good and responsible man.Although we just meet online, we have our talks regularly. Once in a while, he not only talks to me but also talk to each member of the family. We are on our relationship for more than a year now and it is still so good. Sometimes,we experience having ups and down but we make sure to it that no matter how rough the roads are, we can still overcome it.

I don't know what to say... That was a very heartwarming story. I guess distance is not a hindrance for both of you to have a relationship. And in this case, it was you who made the first move? by asking, you broke the awkward silence and lead for him to tell you.
one last thing, can you PM me the website where you met him? maybe i can find a lady friend there too. :))

You are very much welcome.. He is so silent with his feelings that I think I need to make a move for him to tell me why he treats me so special

you know as a girl, and i've always told girlfriends or have been told by girlfriends not to make the first move. i've found that guys and girls think differently.
i think the best way to go around this is to date the person. be friends first and then if i the girl likes the guy, just be a good friend respond to the gestures but never ever be aggressive. sometimes it could be such a turn off for guys too. just give them their space and let them take their time.
i've always said to girlfriends, don't attempt to even think or reason out the guy's actions. if the guy really likes you and he is ready to commit, he will make the move... if he doesn't, then he either doesn't want a relationship, or isn't really into you in the first place. don't dwell on it.move on and be happy. cheers!

it is very common that guys will not say their true feelings upfront... and for me, it is true that I get turned off when a girl tells how she feels first. unless, the feeling is really strong... that it wont matter who tells who's feelings first. commitment will always be an issue for a guy because at the back of his mind, there might be someone else... so as long as he commits and realizes that this is the right and only girl, that's it! goodbye single blessedness!

In my case, it was me who had to make the first move a year ago, through one of our common friends.
Actually both of us know each other from class 4(now we are in class 12).Both of us had a feeling for each other right from class 4 and we even knew this fact.But I was too shy to tell her my feelings, and later I came to know that it was the same with her.
But now our relationship is going fine....
