Social anxiety and romance

Any advice on how to navigate a romantic relationship with social anxiety? In particular, I'm having trouble asserting my boundaries and asking for what I need.

hi if your dating or on the look out be open and honest from the beginning the weaker man/woman will run the decent guy/woman will stay and respect you for being you truthful and honest.

I’ve been there before too. I found the best step was to be honest from the beginning, just by letting him know that asking for what I need and setting boundaries is something I struggle with and am working on. They might be able to check in with you from time to time and support you in this process. I hope this helps!
