It is possible that your boyfriend may think of you as a friend rather than a girlfriend but there could be other reasons why your boyfriend has not tried to kiss or touch you. Here are a few:
- It could be his first relationship and he may feel awkward.
- Some cultures and religions believe that couples should not have sexual contact or even kiss until they are married.
- Different families have different rules about dating.
- He may be waiting for you to kiss him first
A healthy relationship is about communication, sharing, respect, and trust. It’s important to feel good about yourself in a relationship. When the time is right, have a conversation with your bf and talk about how you feel about each other.
