hey im 12 also and have a gf. weve been together for 3 months. weve also been on 3 movie dates. we hug when we say hello/goodbye and weve held hands. weve had a peck on the lips once, and it was partly cuz the ppl we were with (it was a double date) made us. we are having our 4th movie date on valentines day and i wanna kiss her 4 longer this time, but idk when. ive asked her friend if she would and she said she would, i just dont kno the right time. like when: during the movie? saying goodbye? when?

Just kiss when you're ready!

i got a good tip for you as i am realy your age and in the sort of same situation but the thing is i want to kiss here but never get the right moments.
so just wait for a realy good moment when your both on your own or look for signs in here face to see if she wants to kiss? or if you realy want to kiss here just ask here or ask here freind if she is shy or not...
or you can just simply wait till shes looking at you and simply go for it, what could go wrong??? well alright u could get slapped or dumped but if you dont then good luck with your relationship...
if this helps (proberly wont) but if it does help then tell me

reader, anonymous, writes (17 August 2008): I agree with all of these answers. Just go for it. If she thinks you're frigid but doesn't want to help you overcome this problem, then you should ask yourself if she is really worth being with. My ex-girlfriend never gave me the opportunity, then blamed me for being frigid. She also told most of her school. So now we are no longer together.

I'm 12 by the way i just got dumped yesterday so don't feel bad if you do. Lol

If your frigid dont worry!
it happens to 60% of kids around.
If your shy she'll turn her face...do the old tactic.
If your leaving (not dumping) like going home.
give her a goodbye kiss and see if it works.

reader, anonymous, writes (26 February 2008): ok now u just try and kiss her on the cheek if she blushes then she liked it. But if she dosent then or if she looks at u funny then there is a problem. but if she likes it try agian next time at recces and kiss her on the lips make sure ur good and brushed ur teeth just incase of the toung i am twelve to but yes she migtht do a little french if she loves it but then just go oon from there so frist: kiss cheek
next kiss lips
then FRIENDLY hug and kiss
after that just go hard but dont use strength in arms i mean with ur lips but gentle if she likes it
final makeout means cross hug (NOT A FAMILY HUG) kiss lips go to coner of playground and eyes close use ur lips and rub hers like pinch using ur lips like a massage and cock ur head to the side back and forth (VERY) slowly with ur lips moving like a closing O and then openig O slow if she likes she wont push u her leg will pop

He asked me out a couple of weeks ago and he was the one who asked for a hug first, I give him a hug when I have to say goodbye when he goes to a different lesson.
But there is a rumour that on friday (at the year 7 & 8 disco) that he is gonna kiss me! I am a bit nervous but anyone would.
Just because you havent kissed her yet doesn't mean anything - You just need to wait for the right time, invite her round to watch a soppy movie then when it gets to a really sad bit it could happen then!
Remeber you are not frigid - these things take time!

Oh shit forgot don't kiss again at lips if you are pushed away or anything like that FINAL THOUGHT. i had the same problem and i went for it before i knew it she sat on my lap and everytime i kissed her she moaned "i love you" this went on for like ten minutes and we just continued watching the movie but she rested her head on my shoulder.

reader, anonymous, writes (16 October 2007): Hi. I'm 13 and was searching the web. This website came up so I thought i might try to help.
I have had a few girlfriends in the last few years, but on all three occasions I have been to nervous to kiss them. I will hug them (I hug anybody even if we arn't going out) but I didn't think I was ready.
All of my friends were teasing me saying I was a friggid etc. but at the end of the day, if I enjoy being with her, I'll be with her, even if we arn't sucking eachother's faces off.
Recently, however, I have been more comfortable to kiss girls and my confidence is great now.
Basicly what i'm saying is - it will all come in time. Don't rush yourself and if you don't feel comfortable with it, don't do it.

Perhaps eventually you'll feel like kissing her, or perhaps she just isn't the sort of girl for you. Either way, you certainly still aren't frigid.

reader, anonymous, writes (14 December 2005): 1) The first thing to make sure of is that you’re both having a good time, getting along well and physical contact has been established. It could be anything from holding hands, to a playful push on the shoulder. At this point it is important that she has touched you in some way indicating interest on her part.
2) When you feel you have reached this point, start slowing down the energy of the interaction. Start subtly moving a bit closer to her, slowing down your speech, and take longer pauses between sentences. The thought here is SUBTLE.
3) Now here’s the secret, the one move that will assure you to be remembered by her as the smoothest guy ever… During each of those pauses in your conversation, stare at her lips. You can even start talking again, though slowly, still staring at her lips. Start slowly moving in closer. The words you’re saying at this point become irrelevant; the sexual tension in the air will be too thick.
4) Slowly move your eyes from her mouth to her eyes and back again. If she has not moved away, or shown any sign of unease, you can place a hand on her hip and bring her in closer.
5) Usually she will lean in the rest of the way and kiss you. After all, at this stage, your lips should only be an inch or two away from hers.
Congratulations!

A reader, Emma Pierce, writes (18 March 2005): Hiya hun!! Don't worry at all, Emma's here!! I promise you, you are totally not frigid!! In my experience the guys that take their time with things like this end up far better off than the fakes who keep telling themselves they're professional. Your mates are simply showing off, they've got a girl on their arm, wow!! Who cares, it's how you treat her what will matter to her most. It's highly likely that she will feel exactly the same way as you, and, you haven't been going out long so it's possible that you're not too comfortable with her just yet!! So don't worry at all, hunni, and if things get any worse have a chat with her about it. She's bound to understand, and likely to feel the same way, if it's any different she's not worth it!! Godd luck, keep me posted xx

Hey to you!My guess is that you're not frigid or shy... I suspect that the root of the problem is that you're just 12 years old and not completely comfortable with having a girlfriend yet.But the good news is: Nobody is! Not at 12, anyway.Some kids at 16 or 17 aren't comfortable with public kissing. Even lots of adults in looooong relationships (I raise my hand) aren't comfortable with gross, smoochie displays in front of other people.So don't worry about it. Enjoy being with a girl who enjoys your company. Have good talks together, do things that are fun, meet each other at parties and dances, hold hands and share personal stories. The confidence for public displays of affection, that is, kissing and hugging, will come in time, when you're both feeling ready.You'll roll your eyes when you read this, but you're still really, really young right now. Contrary to the lies that TV force-feeds you, age 12 isn't a time when most kids are going out with the other sex. Emotionally, most 12-year-olds aren't ready for dating and all the confusing sexual rush that goes with it. In other words, YOUR MATES ARE FAKING IT. They don't know how to act, so they're doing what they think they should be doing.Just don't panic and think you're weird because your mates kiss their girlfriends. It's very likely that they aren't really comfortable doing it either, and they're only kissing because they think they should. When you get pressured into behaving a certain way, only because your friends do it, you don't enjoy it.One bit of advice I got from my Grandad, that will serve you well in every aspect of your life, is: "Don't worry about other people. They don't know what they're doing either."
