How to get over shyness/feeling vulnerable when showing affection?

I was just wondering how 2 people who are very shy over come it and start feeling secure about showing eachother affcetion more often...I posted in the general advice section too....I thought maybe some of you here could give me your POV incase you don't happen to make it to the other section. I need all the help I can get. *Here's the original post:

Ok, if a guy is shy about being affectionate or being the first to hold you hand, all the lovie-dovie things...what's the best way to reassure him that he won't look stupid or whatever for doing it?

My guy has some emotional scars, he isn't the best at showing affection. He does of course when I show it first. He seems to really love it.

Why he keeps the wall up even still, I have no idea why.

It's hard for me to show affection, I have issues from the past as well, so I do know a bit about how he is feeling. I do hold back alot too, for 2 reasons, 1) I react to him the way he does me sometimes, just too shy (maybe shy isn't the right word, but something is going on) to kiss him first or reach for his hand. 2) I am afraid to put myself totally out there.

We do love eachother, and we are intimate (we express ourselves very well then; ironically, the chemistry from that is perfect)...we do the lovie -dovie things, but it always takes us a while to work up to it. I am tired of being apprehensive about giving my guy a hello hug or kiss. I am sure he feels the same way.

How do we work on this, that would be comfortable to us both, should I just go for it when I want to. I mean, will it be too much for him, or ease him into being affectionate as well?

I hope this makes sense! lol THANKS!

Date: 8/5/2004 5:22:00 PM  From Authorid: 55967    He may still have the wall up because memories run very deep in some people. You know how 99% of the world learns to do what you ask? They watch. Seriously. They watch parents, or siblings, or older friends or acquaintances, or strangers that they think might be cool, OR, a good movie where the main character shows affection and looks cool doing it. Try to think of a movie you've seen or browse the Blockbuster or somewhere, and watch it with him, and quietly pick the right scenes out and mention them. Also, about going for it, yea, I think you should. Would it be too much for him? Start it anyway, then watch his face. His eyes. If YOU think it's becoming too much, back off then. But definitely go for it up front. "I am afraid to put myself totally out there." If you go for it and watch, you won't be doing that. Keep the foot near the brake. All is NOT lost if you think you went too far then. In the end: this may and probably will take time for him to climb out of, but if you work on it, I guarantee you both will. All living things grow and change in some direction; you just have to steer the way you want. I think I'm done here for now; that's my advice. I've had a long day, and I just want to relax right now. Take care.

Date: 8/6/2004 12:25:00 AM  From Authorid: 11348    Your relationship sounds a little like mine. My boyfriend and I have been together for a long time. He has no problem showing affection, but I do. I am severely emotionally scarred so it is VERY hard for me to be the first to show affection.... I can give him hugs first but that is about it. I have a wall up constantly, even though I love him and I know he loves me. I think that sometimes it is just hard to move past that hurt but it will come eventually. Maybe you could start being the first to do subtle little things all the time, and then he will feel more comfortable doing the same. As soon as you see him, give him that hello hug. I know you're apprehensive but a hug is something that even friends can do, if it helps to think of it that way. Make little goals for yourself. If you start being more comfortable showing your affection, he will most likely do the same.
