Sex and Sexuality:
“He wants to make out.”
Hey Terra,
I have been going out with this guy for about 2 weeks and he wants to make out but I don't. What should I do? I don't want to cuz I suck.Lousy
Dear Lousy,
It sounds like you don't think you are good at kissing. Did someone tell you that, or are you just imagining it? Either way, if you don't feel ready to make out with this guy, then don't. He shouldn't be pressuring you and if he is, that's not a good sign.
Two weeks isn't a very long time to get to know someone. Think about it this way... If all he wants to do is make out, he's not going to be around for very long. If he's interested in getting to know you as a person, then you can see where the relationship goes. Getting to know someone should come before the physical stuff. If you do the making out part first and then the relationship ends right away, you are probably going to be left with feeling used and abandoned.
I hope this helps.
In friendship,
Terra
