I’ve (23F) been close friends with someone (26M) for a few months now, and it’s become clear that we both have feelings for each other.
Because of personal circumstances, we haven’t been able to take things further until now.
We went on a date last Sunday, and during our conversation, I learned that he has had very few sexual partners, with his last experience being 5–6 years ago. He’s also never been in a relationship. His demanding job and somewhat isolated lifestyle have made dating less of a priority for him. I (23), on the other hand, have quite a bit more experience.
When the time comes for us to be intimate, I want to make sure that it’s a good experience for both of us. Given that it’s been a long time for him, and he doesn’t have much sexual/ relationship experience, is there anything I should keep in mind?
I’m not judging him at all—I just want to be mindful of any insecurities he might have and make sure he feels comfortable.
If anyone has advice on how to navigate this in a supportive and understanding way, I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
TL;DR, the guy I’m dating has very little romantic and sexual experience, and non for the past 5 years. How do I make sure we both have a good experience, when we start getting intimate?
