Hey guys,

I'm 14 years old and I really like this guy, he likes me too and has asked me out on a number of occasions. However I am a bit nervous and have turned him down, I have liked him for ages but I'm worried it will be awkward especially when we meet up (he wants me to meet up just us, but I'm scared it'll be really akward) I also have never kissed a guy before so bit worried about that so would love any tips many thanks x

the thing with kissing is, until you do it, you'll never understand how to - anybody who says different is lying! and he's probably in the same boat! so dnt worry yourself, if you like him go for it and see how its goes, just try 2 relax, and go into it gently.

unfortunately you can only ever learn by doing, but it does come naturally, so good luck

xxxxxxxx

I'm 20 and did not have my first kiss or real boyfriend until I was 18. I pretty much wasted all my high school years being scared of guys. I was in the same boat as you and one day I just went for it. Just like that I gave in and let myself open up to someone else and it turned out to be the best decision ever because I am still with the guy. The guy you like probably feels just as nervous as you so just go for it! Even if it doesn't work out this time, its good experience for any future boyfriends!

Go for it!! Seriously, I'm 17 and only recently had my first kiss, I'm exactly like you in the way that I was scared of it being "just us" as I am SERIOUSLY shy- you are at the perfect age to take a chance and go for it. You are young enough to get away with being inexperienced but old enought o make your own choices about getting experience. And (I heard this so many times before and i didn't believe it) when you do go for it and you relax and just go with the flow it DOES come naturally. I've only recently learned that life is too short to live on the safe side. Take risks! Jump in the deep end once in a while! It's what makes life interesting! Think about it, you really like this guy and he really likes you. Hes not going to hate you if you are shy or embarrassed, he probably feels the same way but he likes you so much that he is willing to look past the nerves and go for it! Do you really want to waste this opportunity? What if he thinks you don't like him because you turned him down? You may have really knocked his confidence and he might not ask again. i think you should be brave and ask HIM!!! Believe me, the more you just take a deep breath and do the things your scared of the easier it gets. And it is so so SO worth it. Good luck!!!

You can't live your life in fear. Sure it might be awkward, but thats what life is all about. How awkward will it be if your 20 and you still haven't kissed a guy? It doesn't often happen that they person we really like, also likes us, so take advantage of this opportunity. If you don't you'll always regret it.

HelpingHand7 agony auntit sounds to me like you need to take a chance, it may be awkward but if you dont accept you'll spend your life wondering what could have been and dont be afraid t ask him out aswell, you dont need to kiss on the first date or the second for that matter just wait until the both of you feel ready and then it will be perfect.

have fun
