Lost & confused.

My boyfriend and I have been dating for about 6 months now. We met at work and started dating after we got to know eachother a bit. In the 6 months we've been together we've probably only gone out togehter by ourselves 4 times, every other time it's been with his family or other people. It took him forever to hold my hand, or even kiss me (even kissing is only when we are parting ways to go home.)
Recently it was my birthday and I went out but he had to work, we were supposed to go to a friends house for a party after he was done at work. Well, I went to get him and he told me he was too tired and he didn't want to do anything. A coworker of ours came out to us and my boyfriend was all gung-ho to hang with him. We all went to a local department store and saw a friend that we knew and she bought me some alcohol for my birthday since I am not yet 21. After that my boyfriend seemed mad and when we got back he didn't want to sit with me like we usually do.
I am ready to move foreward with our relationship, and he seems like he does too, but he wont do anything. One thing I ddin't mention is that he is scarred pretty badly on the one side of his face from a car crash in his youth and he's been hurt emotionally inthe past. I don't know if it is that that has made him wary of moving our relationship foreward and I don't know what to do.
I want to move foreward but I don't know how to get him to...

Hay erc I'm in a realy similar situation I've being with my g/f for 5 months and we get along brillantly we have sooooo much fun and all we do is laugh, but when it comes to being intimate she so reluctant. The only time we kiss now is when its the end our date and im droping her off at home or she droping me of, we used to just kiss all the time, if I try and kiss her in public she gets all tetchy and push's me away, physically and emontionally. I really really want to move our realtionship on forwards but seems as if she doesn't. Don't know about you but the constant rejection is starting to hurt me. I just leting you know that I'm going through the same thing and I hope you can stay strong and come through it with your b/f. I know I will. Ill keep in touch and let you know what happens in my realtionship, I'm just gonna come right outh and ask if theres any issues I'd like hear of you to see how you doing maybe we can get some strength or advice from each other.

Sorry to tell you both this but it is time for you to back off. Each of your partners is feeling "pressured" and are uncertain. They need to find out FOR THEMSELVES BY THEMSELVES just what they want to do and with whom.

You are to ease off and not see them. Put a bit of distance between yourselves and your partners. Then WAIT for them.

If they are ready, they will get with you quickly. If they do not, then you have your answer and should begin dating other people.
