I'm my boyfriend's first girlfriend.. help?

[Anonymous]

Hi! So me and this guy really hit it off and after only a couple weeks of knowing each other we started dating. I really like him and he's said countless times before that he really liked me too. The only thing is, he is 15 and I'm his first girlfriend, like ever. Not that that's a bad thing, but he sometimes has no clue what he is doing. He has zero experience. He is also kind of really self conscious and insecure. Like he'll say things over text and be like 'thanks babe' or something but then right after he will follow that up with 'you're probably like wtf hahah'. Like he seems very timid. One time he was even texting me and telling me how his friends told him that we should kiss by the third date. My response was something like 'well, we haven't had our third date yet so i guess we'll just have to see' in a joking but serious way to get the point out there and he was immediately like 'haha I'll probably pussy out' or something and then started rambling on after. Like he was obviously nervous about the whole conversation or something? I mean I can understand, I guess. I am his first relationship and he's a naturally shy quiet guy. We've done stuff before in public like held hands and hugged and stuff. The whole third date thing hasn't happened yet. But he always asks when we can hang again. So we have something planned for next weekend. Also, he only says 'love ya' or something whenever i say 'i love you'. He's said 'i love you' once but everything else is kinda just... ya. ALSO. He sometimes ignores me. He never sends goodmorning texts and if I want to talk to him during school I have to engage the conversation. I hate that though because I feel so clingy and needy and don't want him to think that way of me. I don't want to mess up this relationship because I really like him and want to make things work and not regret stupid things like I did with my last relationship. So please give me some sort of input on what he's doing or what I should do. :( xo

Lol i could relate to the guy on being too honest and 15 seems a good age to start having a girlfriend in my opinion... if you want him to text you good morning and enagage conversation at school, tell him. I think communication is key, just limit your interaction so you don't come off clingy and needy, not too much but not too little either. If he can't change, either you put up with it, compromise or move on, that's my 2 cents.

just tell him that u like him the way he is and he should stop worrying and over thinking so much and then kiss him

Hi. What exactly do you want from this relationship?

I just want him to be more engaged if that makes sense because at the moment it never feels like he is. If that makes sense haha. But I'm obviously not going to just come out and say something so blatant so it gets the point across. I just don't know what to do.
