Okay so my bf and I have been together for nearly 5 months. We have known each other for over a year since we met through a mutual friend.
Told me hes likes me really early one just didnt have the courage to ask me out at first.
Ive only had one bf before him which ended 2 yrs ago and we only dated for 7 months, due to being at different unis, so we rarely had the chance to be intimate and since it was my first relationship it took me awhile to get comfortable to do so.
My bfs been with 2 girls before me but that was over 3 years ago and both times it was drunk hookup (both approached him first, one was a one night stand, the other girl they barely dated)
So I'm his longest relationship, the first girl hes ever asked out, his first b j experience etc.
Safe to say we both lack experience, so I understand going slow and its normal that we havent been fully intimate yet.
Thing is we have been intimate in other ways on a weekly basis, its difficult since I've temporarily moved home to save money while studying and he lives with our mutual friend who works from home and doesn't know we're dating. On the rare times our mutual friends gone a weekend away somewhere. Id stay over at his and we'd try bring intimate, but fails to keep it up.
I completely understand it could be performance anxiety and just nerves in general. But its happened 3x already.
The last time we tried was just over a month ago and neither of us initiated it since, but still intimate in other ways on a weekly basis.
Thing is how do we eventually overcome this? Is it just a waiting game and hopefully it will get better? Any advice would be appreciated, Thank you
TL;DR My bf and I lack dating experience. Affecting our relationship.
