The title's a little weird, I know. But that's exactly what I need to know... I have absolutely NO idea on how to be a girlfriend.

Me, I've always considered myself a more of a tomboy than a girly girl. Like, I'm not really into dressing up and spending hours on my hair and make up... I'd prefer to throw on a comfy t-shirt and a little eyeliner and mascara, brush my hair and I'm done. I don't like to spend extra time on stuff I don't find.... important? Haha I'm just weird I guess.

Well, somehow I've managed to get a boyfriend. I've been best friends with this guy for over four years, and I've always kinda had a crush on him, but never really acted on it until he asked me out. We've been going out for about two weeks, and we're both really happy.

However.... I'm not sure if I'm being "girlfriendy" enough. Like, I just hung out with one of my few girl friends (most of my friends are guys...) and her boyfriend. The entire time they were cutesy and adorable, an ideal couple. When I'm with my boyfriend, we pretty much just hold hands and make out and play video games. I feel like I don't know how to make the transition from "friend" to "girlfriend." I've never really been flirty, and I've never been in a real relationship like this before... Can anyone help please? Tips, advice, anything? That'd be great. I really want this to last. Thanks a bunch

That "cutesy and adorable" stuff is stupid and disgusting.

Just be yourself.

^ She made me say that. D:

He's known you for four years and asked you out, do you really think he expects or wants you to suddenly change and not be the girl he asked out? I doubt it. Just be yourself. You can always talk to him and ask him if he's happy, or would like you to change small things for him. Honestly, it's two weeks you shouldn't be doing much more then holding hands and kissing hah. But just talk to him, He prob doesn't want you to change.

From joy to sorrow, yesterday to tomorrow, you've been there. Friends like you are rare, your touch is so gentle,
You're my guardian angel.
Like a blossoming flower spreading your wings in grace, filling my heart with power
by feeling your embrace.

Wherever the wind may blow, we will overcome this war, in times happy or sore, I will never let you go.
With a gentle warm heart and a will of stone, We'll never be apart, You'll never be alone. - John <3

Your boyfriend likes you for who you are, not who he wants you to be.

My girlfriend would much rather wear sweat pants and a T-shirt around than dress up for me. She dresses up when we go out, but when we chill she is just in lazy clothes.

Just be yourself, the key to being a good girlfriend is genuine respect, affection, and support.

You don't need cutesy outfits and little trinkets or that crap. It's nice to get little things, but they're not needed if you have the above three things.

Hello there ~
Well, it doesn't really matter if you're more of a tomboy than girly; not all girls are girly anyway. If he asked you out, it's because he likes the way you are, I suppose; be it psychologically, physically, morally... etc. If he really was bothered by it, why would he ask you out in the first place?
If this doesn't calm you, why don't you try ask him randomly, like "Does it bother you if I'm not.. like... more girly?" in a playful, carefree tone. And wait for the answer.

Good luckk darling!

Suddenly my eyes are open
Everything comes into focus, oh!
We are all illuminated,
Lights are shining on our faces
We are, we are blinded !
We are, we are blinded !

If he has known you for 4 years and asked you out, i presume he knows who he is dating if he has known you for 4 years, which means he likes you the way u are

Seems like everyone else pretty much nailed it, if he didn't like you he wouldn't have asked you out...

And to be honest some guys prefer women without tonnes of makeup.
