Reader Question:
I want to have a first kiss with my girl, but I don’t know if we’re ready. We hug all the time, hold hands and tell each other we love each other, but we haven’t kissed yet.
Would it be weird if I asked her about it?
-Matt (Georgia)
Dr. Wendy Walsh’s Answer:
Matt: Not weird at all. I always say, if you can’t talk about sex (or any kind of sexual contact), then you have no business doing it. And a gentleman always asks a woman if he can kiss her before he does so. It builds up the excitement.
By all means, have a conversation about this turning point in your relationship. Find out what it will mean to her and tell her what it will mean to you. A first kiss is a BIG DEAL. Make it one.
