So me and my friend have finally admitted that we like each other. I am 20 he is 26. He was very taken aback because he's never had a girlfriend and has never really had girls interested in him. He's smart, funny and handsome and I really like him, so I was quite shocked by this- but he has very low self-esteem about himself.
He said it's going to take him time to get used to someone liking him and he's not good with the whole dating/relationship thing. I'm not just if he's ever had sex or not- neither have I, but I've been on dates and had little relationships but nothing very serious.
It doesn't bother me at all that he's never had a girlfriend- actually I like it, it's nice that he won't compare me to anyone! But I'm used to guys taking the lead and I don't want to overwhelm him. I don't want to rush him in to anything. We also live like 45 minute drive away so this could require a lot of effort!
Can someone please give some advice?
