Afraid of intimacy?

Slight confusion.

My Aqua sun/Pis moon friend seems to talk the talk but isn't able to walk the walk?

From what I understand he has limited sexual experience and is under the impression I have a lot ( I wouldnt call it a lot) but regardless... Anytime we get close to being intimate he wigs out.

I am at a loss and unsure why... He makes several comments ans wxpresses interest... I want to just get the initial experience out of the way but my God, the way he recoils stresses me out.

What is happening here?

I'm being serious here. Is there a chance that he might be confused about his sexuality?
I honestly don't think so. I mean, I can't completely rule it out.
One of the reasons I asked is that you used the word 'recoil' to describe his reaction to actual sex with you. It's a pretty strong word.

Ahh. To be fair, he hasn't ever literally recoiled. He tends to seem very nervous and uncomfortable but doesn't necessarily pull away. And we haven't even kissed yet so I can't even go so far as to talk about sex.

But we talk about sex normally. Like it is something that will happen between us.

Thus... I am perplexed. Do I just push past the nervousness and awkwardness or wait until he is more comfortable.

Ive never had to question if someone wanted me... Ever. So this is new ground for me.

I note you use the word friend. Sometimes it can be hard for friends to step over that line for fear of sabotaging the friendship.

Are you sort of seeing one another or are you as a friend trying to help him gain some experience?
We are sort of seeing each other. We live quite a distance apart and therefore only see each other a few times a year but have been friendsforn many years and often discuss the topic of more. So, we are supposed to be seeing where it goes.

However, this hiccup is shaking my confidence.

You should ask him "so when are you gonna kiss me?"

Haha. Could it be that simple? You don't think that would send him running?

hmm in that case... you only really have two options. Let him take the lead, which could take a very long time.

Or just grab the bull by the balls and him by the nose so to speak. Make it romantic for him. Sex is scary business if you want to impress and those nerves get in the way 😄

Don't let it knock your confidence though, as he could be picking up on that and its like playing ring a roses over and over. Will just get worse

Lol! I have no idea. If he runs, let him run. He'll be back. He could possibly run into the arms of another girl but that means he would have to start the process all over again. That's a drag to someone who has intamicy problems.

The fact that you have more experience says to me you should lead in that area. By asking him "when are yougonna kiss me" it might give the illusion he is in control and therefore feel more comfortable. Just say it really really really sweetly with a sweet smile on your face.

Good idea...

I will give it a go.
