My boyfriend treats me more like a friend. He says he loves me but he won't hold hands with me or kiss me or touch me at all. I know not everyone likes that stuff, but I just feel like I'm doing something wrong. I'm embarassed to talk about it. What should I say? Do you think I might offend him?
Additional info, added Tuesday March 1 2005, 12:18 am: If I scoot closer to him he scoots away then says "Just kidding" and scoots back a little bit. I don't know what he means by it. Is that some kind of hint or can he just never be serious?. Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category? Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship? KirksSkater answered Tuesday March 1 2005, 3:02 pm: If I was you, I would dump him and find someone better. He could just think that you two would be better off as friends. This happened to me, but I ended up getting cheated on. Dump his ass and get someone who ill show you what love really is. Hope I helped!

JennyP23 answered Tuesday March 1 2005, 7:23 am: I think that's pretty normal. It just sounds like your boyfriend is the type to not touch as much. That, or maybe you're passed the puppy love stage where you have to show the world you're in love (not that that's a bad thing). It doesn't mean he thinks of you as a friend--he probably doesn't even actually realize it. If you are really upset about it and think it might be your fault, the only thing you can really do is ask him about it. I understand that could be embarrassing, but a way to bring it up woud be to maybe grab his hand or something once, and if he doesn't accept it, bring it up by asking what's the matter. I don't think you would offend him as long as you explained yourself and your concern. Like I said, he may not even realize you want him to do that stuff! Good luck! :) [ JennyP23's advice column | Ask JennyP23 A Question ]

SugaHigh answered Monday February 28 2005, 9:29 pm: My friend went out with a guy like that.He sounds really prude... Maybe he's just really nervous, or he's really religious and his religion wont let him. He could have strict parents as well. I think you should ask him. It wont offend him if you love him so much you want to take it to the next level. Just tell him you really want to kiss or at least hold hands, but you dont want to push him. That you just want to understand better why he doesnt want to. Sorry I cant help more...

CourtneyGlynne answered Monday February 28 2005, 9:06 pm: He's offending you by not holding your hand or kissing you so what does it matter if you make him a little upset by talking about it? You only get as much as you give and he'll never know how you feel if you don't say something.
LaxRulz answered Monday February 28 2005, 8:21 pm: Well Thats a tough one. If it continues like that without n e change, you should bring it up in a conversation, he will probially understand. If not maybe hes not the one for you. [ LaxRulz's advice column | Ask LaxRulz A Question ]
