I have been with my boyfriend nearly 3 months and things are good i even get on with his mates quite well. Heres the problem im fine with all the guys as long as im not the only girl. However if im the only girl with like 3 guys for example i become abit shy and quiet. My bf then thinks im annoyed. Im not i just find it hard 2 get involved in conversations when they are talking about people i dont know or football or play fighting.

Im not the most of confident people anyway. Any tips of how i can be more confident as my boyfriend keeps moaning and i feel bad.!!??

A girl feeling shy is a inner beauty, which nature as given. But in your case, your BF is annoyed at your behaviour, coz he wants you to be social, and open minded. One way, you can overcome this by talking to boys casually, may be you can try this in the absence of your BF(if you feel that you would fumble) Start talking to one, and then two, and then with three at the same time. So you would find yourself confident in your talks, to make your annoying to astonished BF, when your in a group of boys and BF while you are the only girl on the show. :)...

If you find this worth, reply to my personal id [email address blocked] Thanks.

cd206 agony auntOkay if theyre talking about people you don't know ask questions! Say who's so and so and what did they do? How do you know them? etc.

Football is a little bit more tricky because guys tend to think we girls are clueless about the game and don't have the patience to explain it.

I would say that even if you can't think of anything to say then sit there with a smile on your face and he can't accuse you of being annoyed and you'll feel more like you fit in. A smile can make the world of difference. And remember, just because theyre your boyfriends friends doesn't mean they have to be yours. By all means make an effort but if you genuinely don;t like them let him see them by himself while you hang out with your girlfriends.
