Dating for about a month, no kiss

[Anonymous]

I've been dating this guy for a little over a month. On our last few dates he's become more physically flirtatious: looking for excuses to pinch or hug me or generally get close to me.

In general, I tend to send out "signals" that I don't want to be touched. I kind of maintain a personal bubble, but I'm trying to break down that wall because I am attracted to this guy (and would like that kiss.)

I didn't start dating (in general, not just him) until relatively recently, so I'm still a bit uncomfortable being physically flirtatious. How can I initiate/ respond to touch while 1) still being personally comfortable and 2) without throwing myself at him?

You could give him a peck on the lips. It'll make him happy, and he might initiate another kiss. But stop him when you think that it's your limit. It'll be finee, he waited a month for a kiss, he can't be a "wham-bam thank you ma'am" kinda guy.

"wham-bam thank you ma'am" hehe :') good advice though..

LOL but that would be my first kiss like...ever, though. I kind of want to get him to do it...

Oh, honey, giving the kiss feels WAY better. The anxious feeling you get while giving it is addictive. And well, it's just a little peck. It's not really a kiss if your lips touch for 5 seconds or so. He'll kiss you after it too! :D
