Friends first...

Sounds like he is a virgin. Tell him how bad you wanna make him not one and then follow through :)

Sounds like a bad case of best friend syndrome! The worst part about dating your best friend is that they aren't gonna want to ruin the friendship they had before. Usually these end easily with both parties saying "well I'm glad that wasn't serious, we are much better as friends". Your boyfriend is still testing the waters, probably "knows" you two will break up, cause that's what usually happens. It's a lot easier to say your friends will last forever, than a relationship. However, not all is lost, it'll just take time if you want it to work, he still is tryin to get used to the idea that you two are dating not just best friends.

Okay I used to be the same way and I would always need my friends to come with me on my dates and then he almost dumped me and kept geting mad so if he needs his friends then he is too scared to be alone with someone so you should find someone knew. Or talk to him about it and ask him if he wants to go some where with just you and him.
