Hi everyone!

I am F21. I have a boyfriend (M20). We are in relationship approximately 1 month (before that we was best friends for 7 or even more years).

We have a lot in common an I really love him (and as I know he too).

We started dating as I accidentally saw my photo on his laptop (I already liked him). After asking him what was that he told me that he liked me for a long time and was afraid to tell me that.

As our personalities - we are typical “otaku” (anime nerds), so we always had hanged out together in the past.

Now everything fine, I really like him, but I am bothered about him being trembling every single time I am close. I know for sure that I am the only one he likes to talk (we are both extremely quiet personalities) and we are together 99% of time. And this happens only if I take his hand or hug him.

I don’t want to ask him about this because I afraid he will get ashamed of this.

Should I worry?

Yeah. Give it time. As someone who by pure chance got on a date with someone waaaayyy out of my league and somehow managed to make her stay (20 years as a couple, 15 married, 3 continents and 1 kid later now) I was constantly freaking out about fucking things up, saying something stupid or simply waking up in the first months - and tbh I sometimes still do. (And I was far more experienced and outgoing than you two seem to be).

So from an old fuck: Give it time and enjoy it. It's normal. And talk about it.

And now you kids get off my lawn!!!!!
