“I want to be honest with you about something, because I don’t like pretending. When you keep asking for video calls, sometimes it makes me feel like maybe you don’t really trust me, and that honestly hurts a little. I know you might not mean it that way, but that’s how it makes me feel inside. It’s not that I don’t want to see you or talk to you face to face. The truth is, I’m actually a shy person. Sometimes it’s really hard for me to be on video, especially with a man I’m still getting to know. I get nervous, I start overthinking, and yes… I even blush. It’s a real feeling for me, not something I’m trying to avoid. For me, video calls are something personal and special. I don’t like doing it just because someone keeps asking. I want to do it when I feel relaxed, safe, and when I feel something real is growing between us. That way the moment will be natural and meaningful, not forced or uncomfortable. I really enjoy talking to you and getting to know you. I just need you to be a little patient with me and trust my feelings too. When I feel ready and comfortable, I will definitely come through with my emotions, because that’s the kind of person I am.”
