Actually, if you truly love the person, you won't care that it's awkward...You'll enjoy yourself anyway, because you're with that person, you love them, and you're able to learn together. It will still feel good even though it's awkward, and you'll find that you and your partner are laughing about the awkwardness the whole time, not really caring because you're with that special someone, and that's all that matters to you. The look in their eyes as they hover above you will be enough to set your soul afire and the way he kisses you and whispers your name will only keep that fire burning brighter and brighter.
That's mine and my boyfriend's experience, anyway.
