Yeah I agree, its only early days, enjoy it and have fun. Having issues can be worrying, I was the same with my partner at the start. But as time goes on it becomes easier to talk to them. Good luck!

One way to calm down a bit is to stop worrying about you and ask questions about the things that interest him, and then give your whole-hearted attention. Here is a little story about the magic of being a good listener.

I read an interview with the Duchess of York when she was very old, living in France. The Duchess of York was the American divorcee, Wallis Simpson, for whom King Edward, the current Queen Elizabeth's late uncle, gave up the throne of England, so that he could marry her. The King could not marry a commoner or a divorcee at that time.

The interviewer said that when the Duchess of York listened, she gave a man her whole attention -- even if he was only a reporter -- and made him feel like a king.

Now, imagine that -- There's this man who IS king, and he gives up the throne, because apparently this woman made him feelmore like a king than he did on the throne.

When we listen to others with our full attention, we are likely to lose a lot of our self-consciousnes.



Let us know how it goes.
