I want more intimacy but not sex.

Question - (3 November 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 4 November 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I've been dating a guy for about 3 months now. I've met his family and friends and he calls me his girlfriend. One night, about a month after we started going out, he said he wanted to sleep with me. I told him I wasn't ready and he said he understood. He hasn't pushed me to do anything, asked about sex again or touched me inappropriately. Our relationship hasn't changed a bit since the talk we had, we still go out often, we're getting closer and we do make out. He however is very careful how and where he touches me when we do make out. I asked him why he's so careful and he said he doesn't want to make me feel uncomfortable and doesn't want to cross the line.

What I want now is more intimacy but not sex. I want to get there gradually. I just don't know how to tell him this. He seems so careful not to touch me in fear I'd stop him. I want more intimacy short of having sex...does that make sense? I almost get a feeling he doesn't know how to progress things slowly.

celtic_tiger agony auntWhat do you class as more intimate? If you have an idea about what you want next time move his hands a little or initiate something different. If he gets the wrong idea then tell him to stop.

You are in a relationship with this guy. Communication is the key to a good relationship. Talk to him! :)
