So here is my problem I'm 38 and have never dated before due to medical issues which are now resolved. The guy in question knows I've never kissed anyone before and about my psych history and is totally OK with it. He tried to kiss me and I turned away, but he's really quite masterful physically and we got to 2nd and third base anyway. I really like him but I just don't feel like I know him well enough to kiss him. Unfortunately I think I need to be just a little bit in love to kiss someone whereas the rest was just fun. How do I deal with this. I told him I needed to see him more, like over dinner so I can just look at him and that I would like more control in touching him when we're together instead of it being the other way around. I feel these two things would help me feel empowered. Basically he said he needed to think about it but I can tell he's not into that. Any other ideas on how I can overcome my fear of kissing him? I hate the idea of losing him over stupidity.
