I've always been a shy person and I have this problem where I have a hard time showing my personality to people. I act extra nice and polite (perhaps boringly sweet/predictable?) until I really feel comfortable. Recently I've been on four dates with a guy and it has gone pretty far sexually, but I'm worried that he's starting to lose interest because I'm so shy and quiet- I let him do the talking mostly. In the past guys have lost interest for this very reason because I don't show them who I am, and I feel powerless to stop it. I have a sexual connection with this guy and I really want to see where it would lead if I did start opening up. Should I somehow tell this guy that I'm hard to get to know or slow to open up? How do I say that? He has been texting me less (though it could just be that he's busy) and I don't want to appear desperate or too issue-filled.
