Him and I met a week ago at a mutual friend’s party, we hit it off instantly and spent the whole night just talking to each other. He kissed me before he left and we’ve been talking everyday since. I unfortunately live pretty far away, but he has expressed that he doesn’t mind putting in the work to give us a try. I’ve never had a boyfriend before and I haven’t talked to someone romantically in years. He has no idea that he was my first kiss and I don’t plan on telling him anytime soon.
I really like him, he tells me frequently that he feels the same way, I just worry that things are moving way too fast. Part of me doesn’t mind, but then I think of all the girls I’m friends with saying “don’t let him love bomb you” I just don’t know what to do. Our messages do get a little sexual sometimes, and I ended up getting scared and telling him that I’m a virgin and it might be a while til I’m ready and he had the best response to that out of any guy I’ve ever talked to. He told me it’s up to me when it happens and he won’t pressure me, he’s reminded me twice now that I don’t have to do anything and it makes me feel really seen.
He’s started to call me baby, and I don’t mind it, but it scares me at the same time. I don’t know if he’s doing it all too soon, but at the same time I enjoy it. Is it weird that he’s being sexual and calling me baby so early? It feels natural, when we kissed it did get a little heated, but it didn’t go further than that and I went back home the next day. My mind does wander, I think he’s very attractive and I could see myself losing my virginity to him. I just don’t wanna get myself hurt.
TLDR: the guy I’m talking to is using pet names after a week of talking and one kiss, I don’t mind it but I’m scared at the same time. I’m inexperienced and I don’t know if it’s normal.
