I wish my boyfriend wasn't so shy

Hey guys!

I've been 'going out' with this guy for almost a year now.

But he is so shy.

Yesterday, Halloween, I saw him out with his whole family and I walked near him to kind of say hi and distracted his mom, turned away and put his Halloween mask back on. I was pretty pissed.

He text me later and I said, why didn't you say hi to me?

He kind of beat around the bush and didn't really answer the question but basically said he saw me and was just shy.

I was then texting him about going out and he said, but what if somebody from school sees us? And I was like so what? Again embarrassed and shy.

I posted a picture of me in my Halloween costume and he text me back, I don't want to comment this incase everyone sees but you look so beautiful in that picture.

And it makes me mad because he's soo nice over text and we text allll night. AND he always says you're so beautiful this and I love you that and if he said things like that to me in real life I would have probably kissed him a million times by now!

I'm just annoyed. How can I get him to move forward, give zero fucks about what other people say and just grow up a bit?
