Still really awkward about physical contact

If I'm really excited and I feel comfortable with someone then I will hug my friends and things, but as a rule I don't really do the whole physical contact thing, no idea why I'm so awkward that way. I'll consider it, I just physically can't bring myself to. I can only kiss guys if I've drunk a considerable amount first because I'm so shy when it comes to that stuff, anyone got any advice as to how to be less awkward? If I ever want a proper relationship I've got to deal with this.
I feel the same!

I think the key is relaxing. If you find yourself trying to start a relationship with somebody, try to be in a calm/quiet place and take it slowly, that way you're more likely to be able to relax.
i am the same lol.

ive kissed like 100 guys or something ridiculous but when it comes to being sober, in a room with a guy or on a date i am sooo freakily shy. Totally the opposite to when im drunk and throwing myself on people lol.

Dunno what it is, but wish it would stop cos its annoying.

How old of you out of interest?
I'm 18. I first kissed a boy when I was 14 and was SOOOOOOOO awkward about it.
I still rarely kiss when I'm out (I've kissed less than 10 boys in my entire life) but I've been in 2 serious relationships (both over 18 months).
I still wouldn't want to do anything more than kiss a stranger though, and I'm not a goody-two-shoes-angel.
I wouldn't worry about it, physical contact is something that comes with feelings for someone and I'm sure if you're with someone special you'll feel differently. :smile:

I'm 18, had my first proper kiss when I was 17 and that was only because I'd been drinking and I didn't want to start university having never kissed anyone, ever.

Don't want to because the last time I did I just made a massive fool of myself. Not even sure exactly what I said but I know I said one or two incredibly stupid things.

Neither do I. It just gets worse when I'm drunk, and I get very clumsy. :tongue:

Awh I dunno what to say! I dont think you have anything to worry about but I realise that's hardly reassuring and not advice :/
Can you chat to people you fancy when sober?
