    I guess it is a case for him to see what you are comfortable with.

    I think you need to tell him what you do like. Telling him when cuddling etc that you are enjoying it so he knows it is alright. I guess he is handling with kit gloves :d ( which I personally think is really admirable.

    Agree with Jink. I would mention to him that 9/10 time you make be happy with doing something but on occasions you sometimes panic (not his fault) and you react by pulling away. Tell him that it isn't something he is doing wrong but tell him that you will try and tell him so he can understand. Hope that makes sense and hope that you are having a really good time.

    I agree with rach29.
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    Wow wish I had logged in at 3am when I got in to check for updates! Go Taye for seeing him naked!
    I agree with all the others, now he knows everything I think he is acting differently cos he is scared - maybe he doesnt want to trigger anything that will make you pull away again and now he knows the reasons why you do, he is probably terrified he will do something wrong and lose you. Talk to him about it. Its worked for everything else sweetheart.
    He sounds a lovely guy (and by the description of him he sounds HOT! - :D lucky you!!)
    Seriously does he have a friend thats single?? :rotfl::rotfl:

    I hope your head isnt hurting too much this morning, just make sure you drink plenty of water and feel ok before you even think of driving home! Take care and enjoy the rest of the time with him.

    and cuddles and holding hands while walking down the street or round the park.

    I am sure he would just be happy with being with you anyway

    Leave him a couple of notes around his hotel room hidden so that he doesnt see them straight away. My ex did this for me once before he left to go back home after a weekend. He put post it notes in my bed, wrote on the next piece of paper I would use from the printer, put a couple of post its in my schoolbag all saying I love you. Obviously Im not suggesting you use those words yet:rotfl::rotfl:but a couple of 'thanks for a great time', or one that says 'call me when you find this so I can here your voice' etc etc you get the idea. xx

    Just read this back and realised I'd made myself sound about 12! I was away training to be a teacher at the time hence the schoolbag! :rotfl::D
  • well the first bit that caught my eye was the seeing Dave naked bit lol.

    I love the casual way you mention it Taye - can't wait to hear the rest of the story when you get home tonight. Bet you're going to have loads to tell us all.

    I think now you've told Dave about your past he's just being extra, ultra careful not to scare you off. It's up to you to show him what you are comfortable with and move things along a bit (if you feel ready of course). He's a bloke, not a mind-reader. This man really cares for you Taye - he's doing every single thing he can to do the right thing and make you happy.

    Dave knows you are broke and won't be expecting you to spend money on him by way of a thank you so do it in other ways. Obviously you're going to verbally thank him and how about saying you'll cook him a special dinner when he's home again, by way of a thank you - or if you bake what about a nice cake or something. Failing any of that just go for the snog like the others have said :D

    Enjoy the rest of your day today and have a safe journey home.
