HIS OWN GOOD
Dear Teachers,
1. I dunno if it's your first kiss or the first time you have tried to do this.
- "dunno" here means "don't know", right? and is this common?
2. He's way too shy around girls for his own good.
- What does "for his own good" mean here?
3. All after kissing is sexual contact, and sometimes you better of waiting.
- I think "sometimes you had better wait" is better, right?
Thanks very much to Teachers,
Stevenukd.

His own good => his own benefit. Because he is too shy around girls, he may not be able to make friends with them, or the girls may not feel comfortable approaching him. Therefore, his social life may suffer. If he were not shy around girls, the situation might have been different.

Hi,

Don't write 'dunno'. This is, however, a kind of 'phonetic' representation of the way that we often pronounce 'don't know' in informal speech.
Best wishes, Cli
