I have been dating a new guy and I REALLY like him! I've told him that I wanted to take things slow because I just somewhat recently ended a pretty serious long-term relationship. He has expressed that he wants to kiss me, but he is holding off and being very patient right now because I told him I wasn't ready.
The truth is, I AM ready now, but I guess I feel that I don't know HOW to kiss him! I know it sounds kind of weird. erplexed Let me give you some background. I dated the same guy for about 4 years (off and on...). He was the only guy I've ever kissed. My only serious boyfriend. We've pretty much been "off" for the past year or so - so not much kissing going on over here... When I first started dating the new guy I thought it would be weird for me to kiss someone else. At first I couldn't even imagine kissing another guy. Now, I really like him and have developed strong feelings for him, and I'm ready to take that next step!! BUT, I'm just nervous that I guess I won't be a good kisser anymore... I think I'm a little rusty... I'm also nervous about just wanting it to be good!
Should I say something to him about how I'm feeling? Should I just go for it? Should I give him the green light and let him know that I'm ready for the kiss, let him take the lead, and just see what happens?
I know this probably seems like a weird thread. I'm hoping people can provide some wise advice, along with any stories about kissing your new guy (or girl) for the first time.
THANKS!
