weird but amazing

so me and my boyfriend just started a dating but we have liked each other and always kinda had a thing going on for almost 3 years now, i love him a-lot but i feel like we r almost way to nice and feel obligated to criticize or say something to each other. also my friends all take it weirdly and always tease me and say things really loud and make annoying jokes how do i fix my relationship and my friends?
