[Jayembe]

well lemme fill u in a lil. I have this bf now but ive know him since last september. He's liked me since december and so hav i but this past halloween he's finally made up his mind and asked me out. And of course i said yes. The only problem is now that we r going out we will hug wen we see each other but if im going sum where with him or walking by him he doesnt hold my hand or put his arm around me and weve already been goin out for like 10 days and ive only kissed him once. I mean i like him alot but theres only so much i can do on my own. im wonderin if u culd giv me some advice on what i shuld do or how u think he's feelin. cus wen i ask him he thinks everythin is alright and if i ask if he's shy he says no. For me to get that kiss i had to ask him i dunno maybe he doesnt want ppl to no im going out with him or what. i just need some advice and opnions on what you all feel.

1) A relationship only works with 2 people, so stop deciding what he should be doing and do it yourself. Don't be sexist ("oh he's the boy, he should be reaching for my hand").
2) Personally it usually takes me a month to get close to the person. If we kissed in 10 days i'd be pretty freaked out.
3) HE IS SHY. Think about it. Would you answer "yes" if someone came up to you and asked if you were outgoing (or possibly clingy) or not? It isn't a very good question in the first place.
4) Back off and let things flow naturally. When he feels it's time to show his affection, he will reach for your hand and put his arm around you. I can promise you it will come, you just have to wait and be patient. For heaven's sake don't rush him.
