>>3 yes they do! hahaha!
i'd say practice with someone or practice looking in a mirror. I myself have trouble looking at people in the eye rl even to my friends and family! I still wonder what eye color most of my relatives have. (it's bad i know...) but also, if it's been going on like this for a while I'd ask her if she sees this relationship going anywhere or not. list en and hear what she has to say ( yes both listen and hear) and take her words to thought. then go from there.
