    O good to know haha :) Ya for the first few weeks of our relationship we never really had any physical contact. We mostly just talked a lot and got to know each other :) It was nice. Now I feel like I know him really well and he knows me really well. I probably just need to take a chill pill and enjoy what I have and just live in the moment :) (My weakest point next to expressing my feelings)

    Honestly, I'm a very atypical introvert or INTP. I usually talk waay too much about myself. But I still do have trouble expressing feelings that I didn't even realize until now.

    The best thing to do when you're not sure how to say how you feel is to establish a form of communication with your SO. Say, "Is it okay for me to talk to you about this stuff?" and try to work together to figure out what you should do in those situations. That way you know how far and/or when he's willing to listen, and he knows that you need to talk to him. It's good to be clear when talking about emotions; if you're not used to it, they tend to come out in a huge ramble and sound like either you're clinically depressed, crazy or trying to blame the person you're talking to. When you talk about how you communicate feelings, it establishes more of a system or guidelines for the future, so you know what to say and how to say it.

    And I don't mind helping. I think it's great if teens want to learn more about themselves and relationships. I had a friend in high school who gave me a little pep talk about some of these things and it was amazingly helpful.

    Ok I'll try that. I've only really started talking about emotions and stuff like that last year haha. In previous years I never really had much to worry about haha. I'll work on getting better at expressing myself more clearly. I have tried talking with him before about emotions and feelings and it came out jumbled and confusing... I'll keep working at it though and try to get some sort of system/guidelines

    That's good. :) Never too young to start I guess. This will give you a massive head start in relationship health, since a lot of people don't learn to communicate well until middle age. xD
