Sex and Relationships

He's too shy to kiss me!

My best mate and I have recently decided to have a go at a relationship. We have openly flirted for many years so we decided it would be a good idea.

But when things got down to it he seems too shy. He says he is nervous about touching girls. Even holding hands gets him in a muddle and at the moment he won't even attempt to kiss me.

I have confronted him but he insists he does want to be more then just friends. I have given him plenty of time and love.

What can I do to sort him out?

Well, it may be that he doesn't want to be sorted out. In which case, now is the time to cut your losses.

However, if he really does want a relationship, perhaps he feels intimidated by you trying to "sort him out" and "confronting him".

Instead of confronting this poor introverted soul, ask him to describe the experience in his own words. While you will have to take the lead, you shouldn't intimidate him so try and put him at ease first.

Perhaps you should tell him that he has to practice holding your hand and practice kissing you. Set an appointed time for your practice and treat it as a learning experience.
