Hey y’all. AITA for wanting a more intimate connection (physical) with the girl I’m almost dating? It’s been 3 months and I’m still missing the physicality of what differentiates a friendship from a relationship. I always prioritize her comfortability.

Also, I’m pretty physical touch and I feel like I’m usually the one having to initiate a hug, kiss, and everything above. She expresses her emotions in different ways, and we have a great time together, but idk if I can turn this into a healthy, long-lasting, official relationship without physical touch

I don’t think your the A-hole, but as a woman that also likes to take it slow physically, here’s my take. For me personally, it’s hard to get comfortable. So starting off with just cuddling, then naked cuddling (no sex), and slowly going from one step to the next might be helpful.

NTA. You’re not the asshole for wanting a deeper physical connection. Have you both talked about y’all’s expectations when it comes to that aspect? It seems like yall are on two different pages on that.

Yeah we talked about it last night. I feel like although she’s made it clear she has a strong attraction for me, she expresses it in different ways (no hate for her at all but she gets kinda insecure/ awkward sometimes in terms of physical touch). She said she’d “work on it” but as a guy idrk what that means and I don’t want to force anything.
