Well, first, help us help you by writing in plain English. This is not text messaging but letter writing.

Begin by reading the relevant articles in the Index. Begin with the two articles on how to make out. Next read about boundaries. These should get you started.

If you have determined how far to go when making out then you can be available and receptive to his advances, and/or kiss and caress him, not so much that you appear forward, just enough to entice and encourage him.

Learning to write your thoughts out will only help later on in life! No txt "stuff" and use a spell checker if needed!

how old are you? if you are only hiolding hands and you get scared when you kiss how can it be love? ive been with my g/f for nearly 6 months and i care for her loads but i dont think its love yet, im only thinking it could be the start. love is a strong word which is said by alot of young pepole but not really ment so when it is said it loses how special it should be. so for a start stop saying it and take things slow. if you are not fully ready to kiss him with out being scared then why do you want to move it on?

ok well theres a few things wrong with this post

1st....how long have you guys been dating?

2nd...youve never kissed yet you love him?

Ok now then....its obvious why you get so nervous around him, its cuz you havent kissed him yet....I was like that with my girlfriend.....i could barely speak i was so nervous....everyone gets nervous for their first kiss with a new person....and how do you want to "step it up"? theres really no way you can go farther than kissing him....and when you have the chance just say **** it and kiss him....whats the worse that could happen? You guys bump noses? well at least it will be memorable and besides hes probably feels the same because he hasnt tried either (or from the way your post sounds)

Don't worry about it.

Seriously. Don't worry about it.

The first time I went to kiss The Boy, I had to stand on my tiptoes because he is so much taller than I am. Unfortunately I lost my balance, fell sideways, and kissed his ear instead of his cheek. We both laughed about it, and the second time, we got it right.

If you love him and he loves you, it can't turn out too badly. Take a deep breath, let go of your inhibitions, pay attention to his body language so you know you're on the same page, and just do it. It may be awkward the first time, but it only gets better as the two of you get to know each other better. And hey- practice makes perfect!
