Hello! I'm in my first relationship with a girl and I have no idea what I'm doing and wanted to ask for some tips from people in relationships (I'm also a girl but I'm sure general tips still apply)
For context, my girlfriend and I are 16 and have been dating for 3 months and are each others' first serious relationship. We have kissed and made out, and use pet names and stuff but we haven't gone further than that. One reason is we aren't alone often because of school and our parents. Another bigger reason is both of us haven't really brought up going further or boundaries with stuff like that. I have this overwhelming fear of bringing up further physical intimacy (that doesn't include just sex, but more touching and anything that is a step further than what we do now) because I don't want to make her uncomfortable. Like I'm so afraid that she's gonna think I'm weird for wanting to go further with her. I've tried to pick up on any hints that maybe she won't be uncomfortable. Like one time she was teasing me and I said "fuck you" and she smirked at me and said "you wish" (this is cringe, ima aware). Also I was staring at her chest one time (I got distracted) and I think she caught me because when I looked up she was smirking. She really loves teasing me and making me flustered and stuff like that, so the tension is there. But what would be the best way to bring up going further and boundaries? And is 3 months too early? (Especially since we haven't said "I love you")
