You and Justin had been dating for a few weeks, but you still hadn’t kissed. Every time you tried, he either came up with an excuse or pretended not to notice. It surprised you.

What you didn’t know was that Justin had never kissed anyone before. He was just nervous and unsure how to do it.

His sister, Alex, kept telling him that if he didn’t kiss you, you might think he wasn’t interested. Justin thought that was ridiculous—until he saw you talking to another guy. Every guy wanted to be with you, and now that thought started to bother him. For the first time, he wondered: what if Alex was right?
