Hi. Name changed so as not to out myself.
So I've been dating this guy for a couple of months and things have got physical. All my past relationships have been with "alpha male" types, confident in the bedroom, etc. I am also quite confident and open when it comes to sex.
The new guy I'm dating is different from previous boyfriends, he's a lot more sensitive and very shy and nervous about having sex with me. (FYI we haven't done the deed yet, just some fooling around). His last relationship was 2 years ago so I think he's lost some confidence along the way.
I'm trying to encourage him, tell him that I fancy him etc but he's got this thing where he thinks he's going to disappoint me for some reason! I haven't spoke about my exes so it's not like he's intimidated by them or anything. I'm not going to rush him into it before he is ready but I don't want him to be putting himself down about it.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation and have any tips on how I can get him to relax a bit? He clams up a bit if I try to discuss it.
