16/F. I just got together with my boyfriend yesterday. We've been off and on for years, though it seems dumb considering we're so young. Anyway, my last boyfriend and I broke up like a month and a half ago. Current boyfriend and his ex broke up about two weeks ago.
We hung out yesterday and he's so excited about us being together. I am too. The only thing that makes me feel a little uncomfortable is that he wanted to do a ton of kissing and stuff (he wasn't pressuring me into anything). I think he's used to being so far with his ex, that he's just kind of picking that stuff up with me. Is it normal for me to feel weird? That, and I think I'm making myself feel weird somehow. Usually I'm very aggressive with that stuff, but I was very shy, while he wasn't. Like, obviously we're not in love yet, but is that okay that I need time? I know it takes time, I guess I'm just used to my ex a little, too.
Maybe this is adding to my situation too.. We have to be secret for like, another week. Considering he and his girlfriend just broke up, it'd look a little bad if we got together right away. So having to sneak around might be changing my outlook, too.
I really want this to be perfect for us. Just trying to figure out how to go about with starting that :P

And you shouldn't feel that you have to be secretive about your relationship even if he did break up with this girl 2 weeks ago, it's not like they're still dating.
I hope this helped a little :) [ kirsty's advice column | Ask kirsty A Question ]
