very confused

my bf has been reluctant to do anything sexual with me since day 1. i assumed it was because he'd never done anything with a girl before so would naturally be very nervous, which was holding him back. anyway he turned round & said last night that yeah he was nervous but the main reason he won't have sex with me is because it would mean that our relationship would have to develop into something more serious. i now feel really hurt that he doesn't want a serious rel with me but also confused because he tells me he loves me all the time & last night he even said the words "when we get married..." (however he was drunk & straight after he said it tried to take it back)
i told him all this last night & he had absolutely nothing to say in reply.

what is going on here??

my bf will only see me 3 times a wk, is this enough to keep a rel going??

Sounds like he does love you and he does want a relationship. I think it's because sex changes things in a relationship. Once you've done things you kinda ascend to a new level in the relationship and it can get a bit awkward. Maybe he's just enjoying what you have.

No, just being a couple and enjoying being with someone, but not in that way.
maybe he's just being a guy

he wants more, doesn't know if he's ready
and when he said "when we are married---" realised the impact that would have, and tried to take it back. maybe he didn't want to tell you the extent of how he feels about you in case he scared you off

as for the sexual part, perhaps he really enjoys what you have now and is afraid that moving to the next level may effect it the relationship in a bad way -- probably afraid he will lose what you have now

yeah it could be too soon for him try not to pressure him. I guess as other people have said here, he could just enjoy what you have now and not want that to change.
