How to get out of the awkward stage in a relationship?

[Anonymous]

We've been together a month, and we still haven't don't anything and he's still awkward with me something. Why?

Well, if he's a shy guy, it's a bit normal, especially if its his first legit relationship (or yours). Lead him on, show him the world~
You're already aware of this issue, so make plans, if he's shy and loves you he'll be happy. He's most likely lacks experience, and make sure to make plans for only both of you --no parties or hanging out in groups. You want to spend time together and break the awkwardness barrier.

Do something like go round and watch a movie and then cuddle up to him, be overly playful, break the touch barrier and get comfortable with each other. Set up situations where you can do stuff, if you only meet up in public or whatever he might be nervous, especially if he's not used to relationships

After a month of dating my ex, we had only held hands and sat next to each other. I don't think he had even put his arm around my waist yet. So it will take time to warm up. I know that my ex said he was being polite and waiting for me to show him what I felt was appropriate. So maybe if you initiated some contact, then he'd feel more comfortable. :-)

It might be hard to adjust into a relationship for some people. Take it slow. Ask him if he wants to hang out this week and go on from there. The more time he spends with you, the more comfortable he'll be.

Were you guys friends first? And is he shy? Why guys tend to be awkward around girls they like, and if you were friends first the switch to being in a relationship could be kinda awkward for him too

Yes we were really close friends

That sounds like it might be the problem. Not that it's necessarily a problem he just doesn't know how to treat you now that you guys are dating. He thinks he needs to treat you differently than he did when you were just friends and he isn't sure how to go about that. Maybe try cuddling up to him during a movie?

It could be that he is shy or you are shy.
But sometimes if you just don't mesh together it is like that. I have had a number of women since I started dating that after 2 or 3 dates it still doesn't feel comfortable. I just tell them that and find someone else. Not everyone is meant to be together.
