Dear Anna,
I’m a 19-year-old bisexual who recently started dating a girl I met online. She's the first woman I've ever been with. Before her, I've only been on a few dates with a total of four guys, and had one long-term relationship (two years) in high school. I'm really enjoying the time we spend together. However, I'm unsure about how to approach physical intimacy in this new relationship, as I've never kissed a girl before and I'm eager to do so.
In my previous experiences, I've always waited for the other person to initiate the first kiss, and I've only ever kissed two people. I struggle with anxiety and social situations, which makes it difficult for me to take the first step. On top of that, she seems to be quite introverted as well, so I'm not sure if she'll be the one to initiate either. I'm afraid of making a move and facing potential rejection. What should I do in this situation? — Kind Introvert Seeks Support
