Well as the title suggests, this blog is a bit personal, but honestly, I had no clue what else to do about my situation so I thought I'd ask you friendly people about it.

So, my boyfriend is a virgin. We're both 17, but to him it's a big deal that he's 'still' a virgin. I guess I don't really understand because I didn't even wait until it was legal before I lost my virginity. I don't regret it, but I admire people that have waited, he said it's because he didn't want to do it with someone he didn't love. But here's where I get a bit confused. We havent been together very long at all and he's constantly telling me how proud he is that I'm the best looking girl he's ever dated and that he never in his wildest dreams thought I'd be interested in him. It's cute and flattering and all... but something doesn't feel right about the way he's constantly talking about my looks.

Last night he came over and we got a bit intimate for the first time together, I definately wasn't expecting to have sex with him, but when he seemed really nervous and stuff it became obvious that it was on his mind.. I told him we didnt have to and that going slow isn't going to make me lose interest (umm seriously? who breaks up with someone because they're not having sex?), but he was really insistant that he was ready and that he wanted to. Anyway he had 'technical difficulty' after that and for the rest of the night he was devastated. I quote; "I have the hottest girlfriend and I'm still a 17 year old virgin"
It just seems like the stupidest thing in the world to be worried about to me.
And the 'hottest girlfriend' label kind of raises doubts about if he wants it because he feels really close to me or because he thinks I'm the best looking girl he'll ever get.

So, how do I deal with this, should I make him wait until he's really comfortable around me and until I know he likes me, not just my appearance?
Or should I just wait for him to psych himself out again and get totally down on himself


I appologise again for the EXTREME personal nature of this blog, but I actually didn't have any place better to ask and I usually get good feedback on here

Sooo just got back from my shopping holiday in Melbourne.. I now have loads of pretty new clothes but absolutely no money and am a little in debt, but I really can't wait to get my photos developed.
