Physical intimacy

Post Reply New Topic

Hey guys, sorry if this is redundant but I don't hang around here as much as I used to and didn't find the answer through a quick search.

I met an awesome guy, who still seems interested in me despite my quirkiness and blabbering. The thing is he wants hugs and kisses and stuff. I have physical contact issues especially with men. He's a nice guy who makes sure I'm comfortable and not pressured and I kinda feel bad for leaving him hanging and running for the hills lol. I'm also nervous because he's 13 years older than me and more experienced. I know I'm really pretty, I have lots of guys after me but that's not the same as having dated or been popular. If this works out he'd be my first significant other :O! I'm weary of the age gap but we have a lot in common so I'm just trying not to f*** up lol.

My advice would be to just tell him all about your physical contact issues. If he can't accept that it won't work anyways. The age difference in my opinion isn't that big.

When I first started dating my boyfriend (I was 40 with near zero experience) I just told him about my aspergers right away and what that meant for me. He was great about it and even started reading books written by women diagnosed aspie. He is 21 years older than me and that has actually been just fine for 4 1/2 years now.

Oh, and good luck. I hope it works out for you!
