Me and my boyfriend have been going out for like, a while. The problem is that we're afraid to touch each other .. we can't hold hands, we don't bump each other when we walk, we don't hug, we don't hang on each other, ect. I want to get closer to him.But I don't know how, I can't just like one day, decide to hug him.. help?

You have to take a relationship step by step. Right now may be the baby steps, but soon your relationship will get the walking. lol

FiestyPoet answered Thursday March 30 2006, 5:18 pm: Sit and think about the reasons you are afraid to touch him, and talk to him and ask him why he is afraid to touch you. There could be a serious reason you two are afraid to touch each other or it could be minor. Something like maybe you two are just nervous. Just remember that you don't want to rush this. But you do need to find out WHY you two haven't touched each other and see if it is something you can resolve. This will probally not be easy so just do all you can to have patience and understanding. [ FiestyPoet's advice column | Ask FiestyPoet A Question ]
