I’m 20F, he’s 25M. We met in January and have been dating since last month. He’s already met my parents - they love him, and he hangs out at our house all the time. Literally no one has any issues with him, he’s super welcome here. I invited him to sleep over for a few days this week just for fun, but he said he’s not comfortable with it - apparently it feels too “intimate” for him? Like, he’s got this thing about doing private stuff with other people around. I just want him to relax a bit. We’re all adults here, and everyone knows people have private lives. How can I help him feel more okay with it?
I’m like him at my girlfriends place too. I’d be shocked if anything helps. Maybe just time.
But also I’m a particularly reserved person. The only time I’m comfortable is in her room, if the door is locked. Or in a more organised setting like having a meal (this is actually more bearable than comfortable). I’d rather just leave the house or be at my own place.
