Q&A for How to Act Around Your Boyfriend

First realize you can’t MAKE someone do something. The best thing you can do is be true to yourself as this will be seen by others as well. The more honest and true to yourself you are, the more positive attention you will draw to you, especially if you express yourself honestly around your crush.

Try to figure out why you feel nervous. Chances are your nervousness is from some insecurity you have within yourself. Do your best to identify all of your strengths and realize that the more confidence you show in yourself will be reflected to others when they are around. People are attracted to self-confidence in others.

Try to spend more time together. The more time you spend with your boyfriend, the less shy you'll feel. Try hanging out with him in a group first if you're feeling nervous. Remember that if he's your boyfriend, he obviously likes you and wants to get to know you better!

Try to plan time to hang out in advance so you can work around his crazy schedule. Make sure you're doing fun things with friends and family on your own, too. You can also text and talk on the phone if he doesn't have time to hang in person. If you feel like he's not spending enough time with you, let him know. Keep in mind that if he can't make any time for you, it may mean that he's not committed to the relationship.

You can kiss him whenever you feel ready. You might want to pick a private moment. Consent is super important, so ask him before, "Can I kiss you?"
