15/f
me and my bf have been going out for 7 months and we are in love. for some reason i cannot get over the fact that he has gotten a bj before, one time [i think] from one girl. by the way i have never given a bj or aything before. idk what my problem is. we haven't done much sexually (were taking it slow pretty slow :] ) but i don't think i would be able to progress sexually with him until i am over this stupid issue. but like the whole thing kills me inside. he says he kinda feels the same way that ive gotten fingered before but besides him i've only gotten fingered once or twice by one other guy, and my bf has fingered numerous other girls before so its definetly not the same. idk does anyone understand how i feel or any advice of what i can do to get over this? by the way saying something like oh its in the past now and theres nothing you can do about it does not help :/
Second, you need to recognize that you don't own him. You are dating him. Its different.
Third, you need to sit down and figure out why it bothers you. You need to talk to him about it once you figure it out. When I say why, I mean specifics. Does it bother you because you are afraid he will be more experienced or will judge you as not being as good as her? Does it bother you because you think he shouldnt have? Does it bother you because you are possessive and want him to be only yours? Etc etc.

When you love someone, it can be a horrible feeling knowing they've done things previously with other people and haven't kept it for you. but you must understand everyone has had a past and within time, you'll accept this. You should be focusing on your future and ways to satisfy each other - not dwelling on their past, because unfortunately, you can't change it. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]

Honestly, sometimes thoughts like that will come and go throughout a relationship (one time I dated a guy that had a one night stand and it killed me inside) but the only thing you can do is realize it's in the past. It's a bj so at least he didn't go all the way with her. Just look at it like this.. it's his past and you are his future, when you two decide to take it farther just do it better than his past girl did ;] hehe ps - remember to use protection! (you're young so be extra careful)
