What is a gay kiss? Does it even exist, or is it just one of those things on social media and/or porn that you hear about but it's just more of a commodity and a joke than a real thing?

Side question, I've recently gotten into a relationship, and we're each others first bf. We have only been dating a couple weeks, but it feels pretty solid so I know the moment is going to arise soon for us to smooch. I guess what I'm asking is how to initiate it? Do I ask for permission, or just slip him a note saying to meet me under the stairwell? (I'm in hs for context.) I've kissed a girl once before but that was when the relationship was moving very fast and the moment just felt right. He on the other hand, has kissed no one and is the quieter, introverted type.

This feels real and like it could turn into something deeper, so I don't wanna scare him off or do it wrong. Any advice helps!

Hello all, so me (16M) and my bf (16M) have been dating for about a week tomorrow, and I'm pretty satisfied with the relationship, but it feels kinda muted. I won't go into depth about this, but he is closeted so we're keeping the relationship lowkey. (Yes I've heard the saying not to date closeted men, not interested in those comments). We've talked a lot and we click well over text and have similar backgrounds based on family and religion and both said we think the other is cute, but that's really when everything else wains.

He's said before that he wants something casual for now, just to keep things lowkey until he's out, which I understand, but as someone who falls hard and fast this is pretty hard for me. His love language is quality time while mine is physical touch and words of affirmation. He has nailed words of affirmation, but he's the quiet, introverted type, and physical touch is something primary for me whereas he rarely touches his own family. We do occasionally bump shoulders when no ones looking and tap each others shoes under the tables but that's about the extent. I've brushed his knee before, just out of accident and he didnt move away or shiver, but he also didnt make a move to reciprocate.

I've discussed kissing with him very briefly and he just responded with the "😳", and said if you want. Does he really like me, or could this be because this is his first relationship?

I guess what I'm really asking is how do I be more in touch with him in a way that satisfies both of us? I don't wanna make him uncomfortable or make him feel like the relationship is moving too fast or being too obvious. I truly do like him and I believe he likes me too, so I really want this to work out.

Any advice helps!
