<human>: Hi, /r/relationships!

A week ago, I finally gathered the courage to confess to my best friend that I like him and that I was interested in dating him, and it went extremely well, as he had feelings for me too, and now were together. 

I'm extremely happy, things are going super well between us: we've had our first date watching movies and eating ice cream, we love spending time together, and we've talked about a lot of concerns he had (I'm his first girlfriend ever and he is scared of messing up the relationship by mistake). 

The only problem is, I'm a very affectionate person. I would love to hug him whenever I want, to hold his hand, to kiss him as a greeting, etc., but he doesn't really like public displays of affection so much (he loves holding my hand and giving me the occasional hug, as well as sitting with me and whatnot). How do I control myself, then? What's the balance?

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
