Okay, I know alot of you are going to think one of two things: "Aww, that's cute ... her first boyfriend" or "Wow ... took her long enough eek " But anyway, that's not the point.
So here I am, nineteen years old, and finally with my first boyfriend. I had a boyfriend a little while back, but he doesn't really count, cuz he was a jerk and dumped me after six days. So the guy I'm going out with now, I count as officially number one.
My problem isn't with the guy himself. The guy is great. He's a Christian, he has a pretty in-depth prayer life from what I can tell, he respects me, and he even kinda keeps me in check. The problem is that because I have so little experience, half of me is panicking and wanting to back out, because I'm afraid. Not sure what I'm afraid of, I'm just afraid. The other half of me wants to stay in the relationship and experience it just for the sake of experiencing it. Not that I don't like the guy; I do. He's the kind of Christian guy I've been looking for. I'm just worried I'm going to mess something up.
So yeah. Um. Advice? sweatdrop

I believe that you should pray about it and do what feels right in your heart.

blaugh cudos for waiting until a good one came along. Definitely nothing wrong with being 19 for your first boyfriend... I haven't had anything serious and I'll be 18 in a month.
It's normal to have doubts, especially at the beginning though. Honestly, I just suggest you pray about it. I mean it's situations like this where you really need His judgement right? Make sure God wants you to be seeing this guy and ask Him to set your mind at ease. It sounds like this definitely does have the potential to be something great so yes. Power of prayer ^^
Experience shouldn't be an issue... physically or mentally, if the guy is moving too fast, tell him to slow it down. It's not one sided right? And if he truly cares for you, he'll be more than willing to listen.

I am a guy, so I'll just tell you what I try to find in someone for me.
Have fun with him (clean fun, thank you). Guys aren't too "romantic", so don't try that approach. The easiest way to enjoy your time together is to "be yourself". It's so stupid and so simple, but that's all you need, right there. Be yourself. You won't be nervous, you won't be too forward, things won't be as awkward...basically, get him used to who you are in a way where your relationship will never fade. Do you understand?
Love him like the brother you never had. Have fun with him, be honest with him, make it so that you'll love seeing each other.
If he get's fresh with you, slap him...
...well, that's it from me.

Just think of him as your best friend, or close friend. That way, you won't freak out everytime he shows affection.
