    She sounds like she's feeling a little insecure. Give her plenty of reassurance, she was that size when you met her, so you must be attracted to her whatever size she is.

    Yep. I think it's definitely time for more physical compliments. I like this girl a lot. I don't want to rush her into something she's not comfortable with. I've been single a long time. I'm in no hurry to get laid. I just want her to feel comfortable.

    It almost comes to a point where I don't want her to think I'm not attracted to her because I haven't made a move.. She's obviously not a slut, so I guess I have that going for me. lol.

    I'd say just be patient and perhaps continue to emphasize that you like her for who she is and that's all. It may make her more confident.
    I'm in a situation similar to hers (I was fit, but I've had some surgeries, recovering and now gaining weight). I know that any mention of body image would make me unhappy, so focus on not mentioning anything that could be hurtful.

    Chicks are weird, dude. There could be a million different reasons. That could be one. She also might be a very family oriented person, a slow mover, etc. I'd say, mainly, she probably doesn't have much self confidence right now because of the weight gain she's endured. You just need to re-assure her why you are with her - but don't tell her when she's ranting on about not eating and such. Just random times give her some compliments, and let her know you're always happy to be around her. Be supportive of her efforts to lose weight, but don't make it sound like you're not attracted to her. (Tricky, I know, cuz girls ALWAYS hear things how they want to hear them, ie. negatively.) If she doesn't come around to an intimate setting soon enough, it might be a subject you want to bring to the table and ask her why. Followed by more re-assurance, of course.

    reassurance,cuddles,compliments,,time alone,kisses should do it ... no diet/fitness talk because it may not be about her weight gain at all

    but as clareack said ... she was that size when you met and you were attracted to her so nothing should be different ... reassure her of that ... you sound like a great guy :thumbup: :clap: who wants this to work ... any girl interested will recognise that

    Good luck :D

    Actually, there might be some truth to that.
    I wouldn't think that weight gain alone would have an effect on intimacy or the will to get intimate.
    It sounds more to me like a self-confidence issue. Maybe she's still unsure or feels that she doesn't know you well enough and therefore seeks advice from people she trusts.

    lol. I hope not..

    She's kind of a nerd, but I like that about her. She's also a little awkward, even more so than me and I can be pretty awkward.. I guess it's just a matter of time. Who knows. I like her a lot and don't want to force anything that seems out of pace right now with the situation. I'll just keep trying to get her alone and keep giving her the googley eyes until she bites. lol.

    I don't know. I'm pretty sure she doesn't date much, but was in a longer relationship a while ago.

    That's what I was thinking...it might not be about her body image at all. Or it might be totally about her body image. I hope I helped to clear things up :lol:

  • Would your weight gain have any effect on intimacy? Like, would you avoid any situations, say sex, until you got your weight under control?


    Thoughts?


    yes, I think it would have a big effect on intimacy. I guess you just have to wait for her to get to that comfortable point--or maybe you'll luck out one time and she'll decide to get wasted and not care so much. :D good luck, dude.
