How do I 25M build up to intimacy with my girlfriend 23F? /u/iamnovis Sex

Hey everyone, I need some advice on a sensitive topic. My girlfriend 23F and I have been dating for six months, and we’re both college students navigating our way through this relationship. Recently, she expressed that my approach to intimacy isn’t working for her because I jump too fast into physical acts without enough foreplay or buildup – more so the buildup.

Here’s the situation: – I tend to start with making out and touching, but she feels there should be more “before all that” to turn her on. – When asked what she prefers, she couldn’t pinpoint specifics, just that the transition to sex feels too abrupt for her.

What are some ways to gradually build intimacy? I’m looking for things that could be done in the moments leading up to more physical interaction. Plus any advice on slowing down the process and making it more about connection rather than just the physical aspect?

Have any of you faced a similar situation? What worked for you?

I really love this girl and care about her comfort and pleasure, and I want to make sure our intimate moments are enjoyable for both of us. Any insights or personal experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated.
