i, [18M], am not sure if i should be worried about my girlfriend, [18F].
I have been dating my girlfriend for about a month and a half now. me and her have been friends for around two years before us dating, and from what i’ve heard from her friends we had been liking each other at the same time for around a year months out of those two. i really do like her, and i am confident she likes me as well, but some things worry me.
for example, a couple of days ago at lunch in our school’s cafeteria, me, her, and one of her friends were watching a show that had recently come out. i’m not sure of the name, but it was the romance type of show with scenes of intimacy and things like that. in the show, there are a couple male characters that have scenes of them working out, playing sports, and being active with their shirts off - or in their underwear. when these scenes came on, my girlfriend went crazy. she would do things like cover her face, say things like “oh my god” when they’d be in shot, and when they were playing sports and the guy wasn’t playing well, she said something along the lines of “i love you it’s okay” to him. this bothered me, but i am not the type to speak out when something bugs me. it bugged me because i have been unhappy with the sports i play and i have worked out alongside her, but she hasn’t ever said anything like this to me or about me. i am not saying that i require her to say that, i don’t mind that she doesn’t, but rather that she says things like that so frequently to this character in the show while i sit right beside her.
but, she is a shy person. she is very shy with my family, and although she isn’t shy at all with me, she definitely is with my family and with people she doesn’t know. from what her friends have told me, she is nervous talking about me to them and is shy when i am brought up. this is why i think she might not be saying these things to me, but it is just with the show that i am a bit worried about.
please let me know if i am making too much out of this. i naturally worry a lot about things like this, so if i am taking this out of context or i am understanding this wrong, please let me know. i can also provide more details, if needed. please help, any kind of support is greatly appreciated.
