Is it okay to apologize for being awkward? Talking to a guy online right now and I really really like him and want this to work out but I'm doing all the same things I did in my last relationship. I'm just so painfully awkward and boring and quiet. He keeps telling me to “stop holding back” and that he likes me and enjoys talking to me, but I feel so so stupid and dull, I don't believe that there is any way he actually does. I cannot flirt, I can't think of anything to say, all I can do is ask questions and my questions suck. I feel frozen. Help me please please please. Is it okay to apologize for all of this? To acknowledge it? I don't know what else to do. I'm also ugly so there isn't really any benefit in being around me.
