My girlfriend and I are both really submissive, and it gets to the point where we just kind of sit next to each other for hours waiting for someone to make the first move. Are there any ways to get past how shy I am about this kind of stuff? I've tried "just going for it", and it only makes me feel like shit when I can't.

what is there to be shy about it's just your girlfriend

That's what's so frustrating about it. It makes no sense.
How old are you two?

Have you actually had sex yet, or are you still trying to make it happen?

I doubt they've even looked at each other, if OP's post is anything to go by.

19 and 18.

We have had sex, it's just so hard to actually start. It's not that we aren't attracted to each other, and we aren't reserved with each other at all in any other areas.

Just use your words, mate. Next time you hit one of those awkward pauses where you're both clearly ready to take it further, but unsure how to make a move, you can literally just say "so... you wanna go to bed?"
It's not the smoothest move in the book, but it's better than just sitting there. And I'm sure you'll get more comfortable with all this the more you do it. You're probably just putting too much pressure on yourself

I probably am. Sunday night I just stopped mid sentence for no reason and gave her this thousand yard stare for a solid minute. She asked if I was okay and I wanted to die.

Stop trying to be smooth or subtle if it doesn't come naturally to you, and just start literally saying what you want to do. It just makes everything so much clearer and easier, and once you get comfortable with this, women love it. It'll feel a bit awkward at first but you'll get through it

Thanks. I guess I'll just have to fuck up enough to where I don't fuck up. That's not too bad in all seriousness.
