Search Results: what is flirting relationship

Hey Dear sisters, I could really use some advice. So, I’m in a loving relationship with this girl, and we’ve been together for 2-3 months now after being friends for over a year. She’s been emotionally supportive, and I’ve really grown to care about her. We flirt, tease, and imagine scenarios, but here’s where I feel stuck…

I’m not super experienced in relationships, and I’m not sure how to take things to the next stage—like, we’re still at the hand-holding and cuddling stage, and I’m not sure how to transition from that to something deeper. I want it to feel natural and not forced, but I just don’t know what’s the right way to go about it.

Another thing is, I’ve been feeling a bit insecure. She’s still in touch with her exes and occasionally drinks and smokes with them. I don’t drink or smoke, so I don’t go to those hangouts, and I trust her, but I can’t help but feel insecure about how she sees me compared to them. I know she says she loves me a lot, but I wonder if my lack of experience or not being part of that lifestyle makes me seem less exciting to her.

Do you have any advice on how to handle these insecurities and move our relationship forward, both emotionally and physically? I really care about her, and I don’t want my feelings of insecurity to mess things up. Would love your perspective on this. 🙏

So we have been together almost a year, and we have done all of the usual relationship stuff like flirting and texting and sending pics etc,

BUT in person she never wants to go farther and I don't know if im the problem because yes I am frustrated but I also would never want to do anything to make her uncomfortable

I keep telling her how both inside and out she is amazing and I know she has wanted to at times then chickens out and just offers to do something else again i dont wanna be tmi.

If I sound like an asshole please tell me I just am getting frustrated af
