is it to early in a relationship?

Um, actually, it is late in the game to start talking about meaningful stuff. Usually people start sharing that sort of stuff in the first few months. Maybe not deep dark painful stuff but general stuff, yes.

As far as affection goes. I think it would be appropriate, at the very least, to be kissing at this point. No need to rush but no need to pretend your feet are sealed in concrete either.

Its not too early at all... in fact after 5 months you should be talking about this stuff. If not then I would be really worried WHEN you would be comfortable.. if ever opening up. That is part of any relationship... even a good friendship.It is also not too early to be showing affection, bit that part can be different. Some people dont really like to show affection, or feel the need for it. If they arent the affectionate type dont try to push them to be, just think about that and decide if they are who you want to be with,

If they dont want to open up to you about certain feelings and their past by now you also need to decide if that is someone you want to date more.

I think he shouldnt be listening to his friends advice... in the relationship department its best to make up your own mind about your life than listen to a friend. If you guys are in a good relationship then you should feel comfortable opening up to each other whenever you want to... not asking friends what THEY think.

Good luck to you

To make a relationship work, takes time and effort. Give 9 more months for the relationship to mature before you show some type of affection on your guy. Don't make it look easy for him. Take, your time to develop a sense of the other’s joys, likes, dislikes, fears and stresses. Better prepared to cope with the stressful events and conflict.

Put effort into to staying connected. Respond to boy friend's attention, affection, humor or support. Talk to each other as much as you can. It helps to bring two people closer and you get to understand each other better. Look at it this way. Some of the most amazing conversations you can think of have taken place with the one you love.

Everyone is required to make compromises at some point in life. It is not possible to have everything that you desire for, at the expense of someone else. You have to adjust to make yourself and your partner happy. Rest assured that when time comes, he would go out of way to make you comfortable.

I personally think that sort of information should be dealt with very early on in the relationship.. It's best to get it out of the water when the romance is young. For one, you don't need to worry about losing someone you've spent the last several months getting close to, and in the beginning of a relationship, the feelings are much stronger. You'd have a much lower chance of fighting/ruining things.

wow how dumb are his friends there is no rule about that ! i was with my boyfriend for 3 months the first time we talked about taking a sh!!!!!-T meaning we were waaayy Pass talking about our childhood what we really thought when we seen each other in person the bad the horror the true the beautiful lol yeah we talked a lot. there is not right time for that just live n when it feels right then do it & his living by rules

5 months is fair enough time to know little bit and get into relationship. Actually if you two click it can happen in an hour or may not happen in years.

every relationship is different.... it is all about what each person is ready for.

to me 5 months seems like way to long to go without showing affection and opening up... but if you are cool with it, then good for you! if you are not cool with it, then talk to your bf about it.

I really like her. my first year of grade nine, and i met her in science. id stare at her all class. i didnt think she was that hot when i first saw her, but after a couple of weeks ive realized what great person she is and now think she is the most beautiful girl in the school; wierd huh? its just my opinion, if you saw her in real life, youd think shed look better. cause seeing a person in real life is much better than a just a photo. what do you think of her. i dont if you think shes ugly cause i wanna be the only guy that thinks shes hot. girls, what do you think?

Relationships are all about showing affection and sharing yourself with another person.

So, no. It isn't too early.

you guys definitely need to open up more. my girlfriend and i knew everything about each other by 6 months... it seems weird to me that he wouldn't tell you things about himself, and he wont be affectionate when you guys have been going out for 5 months already.

talk to him about it. tell him you want to know him better. Tell him you want him to be more affectionate and that it would greatly improve your relationship with him.

i hope i helped ;P
