Going a little farther???

lilly

Me and my girlfriend have been dating for about 11 months and we are both in our first relationship. We make out a lot and have moved on to boob and nipple stuff, but I really want to go a little further and maybe get into some underwear stuff or slip some fingers in?? The thing is I’m really nervous. I know this is something I want to do but I don’t know if she feels the same way. I am scared to talk to her about it because if she doesn’t want to I don’t want things between us to change. I 100% respect her boundaries and would never go through with it if she didn’t want to, but I’m really nervous to talk to her about it. Do I just hint about it while we are fooling around and get handsy or do we have a conversation first?? Help!!
