How to be intimate without being physical?

[Moonrise Lu]

So my boyfriend and I had been making out for a little while now, but recently we made the decision to stop as it was becoming a temptation for me.

I am a little worried now about how not making out will affect our relationship. It wasn't about doing it just for the fun of it. I did it more to make him feel good and show him I love him. It was an intimate kind of thing that made us feel closer. So I'm worried that, without it, we won't feel as close and he won't feel as loved...

Can anyone give advice on how to strengthen my relationship without being physical? How can we keep the feeling of closeness and intimacy without making out?

1st of all if he leaves you because of that, Good for you!

2nd of all my fiance and I don't necessarily make out sitting in each other's arms watching a movie makes u feel close. or sitting across from each other in a restaurant holding each other's hands can make u feel close.
Yes that still contains touching but the intimacy you are referring to requires touch..
I'm hoping and praying you and your boyfriend will find a way to feel close. Don't forget that including God in your relationship will make u guys feel way closer.

Hope this helps

Haha okay so we've been together a few times since I posted this. Taking it away really hasn't affected anything. I think I overreacted a little lol
