Relationship advice please :)

(well, starting a relationship anyway!)

Ok. Here's the deal. I'm 20 but I think in terms of relationships and 'life' experience I'm really about 14. I've not had any sort of sexual experience in the slightest and up until now it's not really bothered me (ok, I lie. It's bothered me a fraction).

Until now. There's a guy at uni that's told me he really likes me. Through talking with him, he sounds like he's had lots of girlfriends and I'm getting a pretty clear message that he isn't the naiive little virgin that I am. If I'm honest, I'm scared about getting into a relationship with him, cause I just wouldn't know what to do. I can't really talk to anyone about this, 'cause hell - weren't you meant to get all these jitters and stuff when you're 13 - 14?! I feel like the world's laughing at me right now.

I just need some advice really, 'cause I don't know whether or not just to go for it with this guy and see what happens, or let him know that I'm innocent to the ways of the world and hope he doesn't leg it out the nearest exit?

Also, if possible - someone reassure me I'm normal - PLEASE! I'm not the only 20 year old like this in the world, am I? at the moment it feels like I am!

Thanks.

aww hun you shouldn;t feel like that!!

who cares if he has had loads of girlfriends (that could be a good thing), the whole idea is that you teach each other new things and tell each other things and not have to feel scared and nervous about it!!

i wasn;t fully ative till after my 18th and i felt the same way, everyone has the jitters from time to time!!

honestly if you like this guy go for it and when you feel like it talk to him about it and just say to him 'ive not got much experiance and you know just tell him' he will respect you more for it

plus everyone has to start somewhere!!!

don;t worry hun i hope everything works out for you!!

I say go for it - I doubt this guy will be fussed about it, and if he likes you now, he may even like you better knowing that... :rolleyes:

I'm pleased that the responses to my post haven't been "HAHA! you sad loser" as I (for a moment) imagined they might be. So basically, I should just say to the guy that we should take things nice and slowly for now and see what happens?

I do really like him :biggrin: lol. I'm so sad lol.

I know what you mean :wink: Was in the same boat as you, hun :smile:

Just be honest with him if he asks about your life, and be easy going about it. No need to be ashamed or proud, be normal - because you are normal - you seem like a normal, and cool girl :cool:

Best of luck with that, and your studies,

I know how you feel (just swap 20 with 19), but if the guy really cares about you, he should accept you and make you feel comfortable no matter whats going on.

My current boyfriend (first ever wow) was really surprised when he found out I'd never been in a relationship before so we agreed to take it super slow. It was a bit embarrassing having to get pretty much a step by step instruction with what to er.. do with regards to parts of his anatomy but it was just seen as a bit amusing on both our parts I guess (I was COMPLETELY clueless).

And also, this is good for you as.. well, he'll know what hes doing :wink:

And yes honesty is definately the best policy without a doubt. He'll probably just think its really cute. :smile:
