Just wondering... do you feel like he's trying to advance the physical intimacy without the emotional intimacy being there? Could you be freezing up, or feeling bad, because you don't yet have the emotional connection?

Hugs and physical stuff can be wonderful - when you have an emotional bond, intimacy, connection, etc. Without all that stuff, they're kind of icky to me. I don't want to hug people that I don't feel emotionally close to and safe with!

Just wondering... something about how you talked about craving intimacy made me wonder...
