Fear of intimacy

Well I've been seeing this guy and things are going great. I feel like he wants to take the next step but I feel myself trying to push him way as I always do. I'll get scared once things get intimate and serious.

What should I do?

@Laura988

How long you two have been dating each other? and when he started wanting to take things to the next level?

@freshLight64 we started dating in August. And I don't really know when it started to get more serious but it seems like he just wants to be closer to me than usual.

@Laura988

Im starting to think he is coming on strong and wanting to advance things when you are not ready yet, so this will cause you to feel strange inside and in a way turn off. If you do have fear of intimacy then it will make you feel even more smothered because you are either afraid of getting hurt or it will threat your indepence. I also believe he could be trying to lock you down out of fear of losing you, so you and him go through certain fears.

@Laura988 if you are not ready to get closer then said it to him, see his reactions...
angry then he only wanted to have your body..
else if he understood and know it then you both should discuss it since only u both know the detail and feeling and if can ask someone that more exp like your parents or your mentor..yes good luck
