TITLE: How can I avoid the awkwardness?
POST: Me: 22 BF: 21 relationship: 3 years
Ok, So my boyfriend and I have been in different countries for a few months now and he is coming back soon. The past few times this has happened (being apart for a few months, mostly during the summer), whenever we get back together (in the physical relm) it feels awkward. Like making out feels weird. Is it just because I am not used to it after months without it? I would like to try to avoid the awkwardness this time if at all possible? any advice?

I should also mention that this awkwardness is mostly one sided (on my side) and the first time it happened I almost broke up with him because I thought the feeling was gone (but it came back after a week or two)
TL;DR: 
Boyfriend & I are reuniting after months apart. Previous times we were reunited after months apart I feel weird getting physical. Why? and How can it be prevented this time?
