Hey. Ok so I've been dating this guy for over a year and I'm crazy about him. The only problem is that he is very sheltered. I'm his first girlfriend, he won't kiss me, and we're freshmen! It's because his family is extremly religious and his mom doesn't like us dating (she basically hates me). Idk what to do. My friends say make the first move or dump him but I can't cuz I like him too much. What should I do?

spend time alone together just talking and cuddling, and do you hold hands in public? if not, grab his hand either around friends, or around strangers, whichever you think he'll be most comfortable with.
make your lips look gorgeous, i'm not talking lashings of colour, a subtle pink/coral/brown, and subtle gloss, nothing too scary. also, stare at his lips when you want to kiss him. not for too long, just long enough for him to notice and register what you're doing.
finally, talk to him, let him know how much you want to kiss him. he won't think any the less of you for it, he must really like you to be with you a year despite his mum. ask him why he won't because you're worried he thinks there's something wrong with you. just a tiny bit of a guilt trip.
if there is anything there that you know he will be really uncomfortable with, don't do it!! you know him best and only you can judge what will work best. and as far as hating his religion goes - if he hated it that much he would have completely rebelled. i am a christian, and i believe in no sex before marriage, but i still kiss guys, just gently bring him round to the idea, then go for it.

just kiss him. if he flips, then apologize and just wait til hes ready, that is if you think hes really worth the wait [ burryyourheadd14's advice column | Ask burryyourheadd14 A Question ]
christina answered Thursday April 5 2007, 2:27 am: Wait, you've been dating this guy a year, and you haven't kissed yet? That's upsetting. If I was in that situation, I would've ended it.
Although your boyfriend is shy, kiss him. If you like him as much as you say you do, you'll kiss him. I'm not trying to pressure you into it, but you've been dating for a year!
