My boyfriend (age 18) and I (age 17) have been dating for a little bit over a year now and I want to take our relationship to the next level and start doing things besides just making out. There will be times when we'll be having a deep make out session and I will think that we're going to go further but we just stop. I know I'm ready to start doing other things and in passing he has mentioned he's also ready.

Do you guys have any tips and tricks to get things started???
