Is it normal to fear having a kiss/etc rejected?

So, I've been in a relationship with my boyfriend for about five months now. It's a sweet, casual relationship; I love it. However, there's one problem. In public, we usually just chill and act like friends. I was fine with that, until I realized that since we barely get any alone time.. I crave to be hugged, kissed, etc. I want to just kiss him or even just hold his hand, but I'm scared of how he'll feel/react. He normally acts all tough and such on the outside, but he's a total funny and caring guy. Is it normal to fear having a simple kiss/hug/etc rejected?

    It's totally normal. A public display of affection is treading new ground.

    Maybe just bump him with your shoulder when you are sitting close to him. See if you looks at you and smiles. Or just lean against him shoulder. It is kind of a tester. Holding hands would be next, because it is slightly more intimate.

    He's friends might be teasing, but it could be all in good fun. Then again, that might not happen at all. If they say something about you holding his hand, you could say something that would make him look good for it. Like, "At least he has a hand to hold." Something to that effect. It could encourage your boyfriend. give him a ego boast of sorts.

    Maybe he is equally unsure of how you feel about it>

    Just suggestions. Whatever you feel comfortable with. :)

    You will be fine. My first kiss was with a girl a year older than me. I was in sixth grade going to elementary school, she was in seventh going to middle school. It was some hot steamy naughty kissing right there... Lawl. It was just a peck. She was really tall so i had to flip my skateboard on its side and stand on the trucks just to get to her lips.
