I wouldn't use the word uncomfortable here. Personally I think its GREAT that you're getting out of your comfort zones.


Comfort zones can be very limiting.


Like if you stayed in yours, you'd opt to be alone forever OP, and I doubt you'd even remotely like that option.


I concur what S4 said, and want to expand a little on NF's post.


Don't do anything that goes against your personal morals, beliefs, values or anything remotely foundational. There's absolutely no need to rush things, keep practicing the hugs and the kisses until it feels more natural. And then you'll want to do it more often because it actually feels good, just good.

Instead of good tainted with anxiety.


No need to fret over the future, that's not today's problem. So don't worry about sex and whatever else.


Focus on now and celebrate each victory and milestone.


True intimacy is not achieved by just sex, the main ingredient is, trusting each other, which means you need a healthy dose of honest communication while getting to know each other....


When the foundation is set, the naked bits are less terrifying because you trust your partner.


Take your time, and be proud of yourself for the steps you have already taken.
