LOL_x0x answered Wednesday June 11 2008, 5:03 pm: First off, don't judge Frank by your last boyfriend. They are different people, and just because your last boyfriend didn't do anything, doesn't mean Frank won't.
Second, just let things happen naturally! I mean, these things take time and you've only been with Frank for a day. You can't expect him to feel comfortable enough kissing you after going out for only a day.
Trust me, it's much better to have him hold your hand unexpectedly, than to have had it planned for a month. Worrying and planning and doing things along those lines in a relationship totally defeats the purpose. The element of surprise just makes your first kiss, or the first time holding hands that much better =]
It's also better NOT to pressure him. Pressure in a relationship is a sure fire way to make it terrible, and pretty much make sure it will not work. I really mean this, I have a friend whose relationship failed because his girlfriend didn't respect his boundaries. So, make sure you don't push him to do anything he doesn't want to.
phoenix_reborn answered Wednesday June 11 2008, 4:58 pm: The best answer I can give you, is make sure you're comfortable in whatever you do with him. If you feel uncomfortable with the situation(for example if he leans in to kiss you), then nicely pull away, but tell him that it wasn't him, it was the timing, or the area, or whatever it might be.
Every first is scarey. Everyone had butterlifes rumbling through their stomach their first kiss, or the first time they held hands with a boyfriend or girlfriend. You will too. You just need to diferentiate between butterflies, and uncomfortableness.
Whatever you do, do NOT feel pressured into doing something you aren't comfortable doing. Not even if your friends urge you, or if you're afraid your new boy will break up with you if you dont, or if you've got complete strangers on advice sites saying,"You need to hold his hand to be close with him or it wont work out." Take things slowly, and at your own pace. If your new dude doesn't dig it, then he's not worth it. [ phoenix_reborn's advice column | Ask phoenix_reborn A Question ]
