Whenever im with my boyfriend (just the two of us)

he gets really shy and I feel like im always the one moving closer or holding my hand out for him to take. He isn’t normally timid but only when its “just us” I just want to be kissed or hugged without ‘’me'’ trying so hard! anyone have any ideas?

stay calm around him, be patient, be yourself….when u want him to kiss u, just ask”Can u kiss me? or Can i kiss u?” or u dont HAVE to ask…..if he really wants to have a good relationship with u, u shouldnt have to try that much to get him to hug/kiss u

I agree with vballchik, but I think you should tell him how you feel and what you want him to do. Most men won’t admit it, but they like it when they don’t have to think so hard in a relationship. Especially if they are shy.

this guy is definately shy, hes afraid that if he tries to make the first move to you n u dont want to he’ll feel very stupid. if u really want his kiss or his hugs dont giv it to him, make him work. jus go close to him but dun do anything n see wat he does. if he still doesnt make a move then ask him why he doesnt want to.

u never know he may be uncomfortable with the whole situation but if it’s not that then it’s probably because he afraid of your reaction and if you’re in that stage where you can’t afford to have problems because you don’t have much time together, then maybe he doesn’t want to end up making a mistake by moving too fast for you because neither of you really know what the other is comfortable with so it’s best to speak about it. this can turn out to be a big problem if it isn’t discussed between the two of you.

Okay. So. Same went for me.
but we were never alone.
when me and him are ALONE then hes not so shy.

BUT!
you should try talking to your boyfriend.
and ask himm why are you so shy?
and
You dont have to be shy around me.

you know.
make him feel good.
and honey YOU SHOULD NOT BE DOING ALL WORK!
ughh.
If you wanna hold hands you TELL HIM! “AY i wanna hold hands!”
and he should grab your hand!
then eventually he will start doing all the work.

You’re in a relationship with someone because you like them. Somehow that person caught your eye, tell them you miss the person that you fell for when you guys were not together.
