He's 24 and hasn't had his first kiss yet. How to handle this?

Anonymous
I've been on five dates with this guy now and I really like him. He's really sweet, not to mention cute (!), but also very much the shy type. He wouldn't even touch me in any way on the first three dates until on the 4th I just took his hand and held it!

The other night I jokingly asked why he hasn't kissed me yet. He seemed nervous, wouldn't look me in the eye and told me that he hasn't kissed anyone before. I think his honesty is amazing but this does seem a little strange and makes me feel a bit awkward. How should I handle this because I do like him?

I did tell him he can kiss me if he wants! But at the end of the night he didn't :( He called me to ask me out for dinner again though so maybe I just need to work through this with him? I want it to work.
