Friends before "talking"

[mdwannabe819]

So I am the type who has trouble being "myself" around a girl I like. I am talking to a new girl which i like very very much. We met around February but never really had meaningful conversations with each other until about mid august, and now we are full blown "talking". Does this seem rushed? Should we take a step back and try being friends for a while? We already hold hands occasionally and kiss but not in public. How can i get over this insecurity of being "myself"? It seems as if I am "myself" around people who don't make me nervous or scared. We are both turning 21 soon

Holding hands and kissing after a few months of being 'friends' is certainly not fast. Decide. Do you like this girl or not. If you do explain how you feel - even about your insecurities. When I was your age I"d be itching to jump into bed after a couple of dates not still holding hands after a few months. Perhaps you need to explain your problem more clearly.
