What does it mean that he's not ready to kiss?

Alright, I'm not asking what to do, I'm just asking for the outcome other people had for this certain kind of experience.

Tonight, I went to a high school dance because my boyfriend really wanted to and I didn't really mind dances so I agreed to go. Earlier this week, I had a friend whom I admitted to that I wanted to kiss this boyfriend. When he canceled movie plans on Friday, my friend said to him (in a teasing way) 'Tsk, she was going to do something and you ruined the plan'.

After school, he asked me about it and I didn't say anything. Tonight, at the dance, we were standing and watching other people bootay-shakin' dance and I brought up what we had talked about. We played this long question-answer game to see if we were both thinking the same thing, and we eventually knew what I meant. Being someone who doesn't like making dates uncomfortable, I asked him 'Alright, do you like doing that?' and he replied with 'Well, not this early in a relationship, so no.'

This, of course, slightly disappointed me. I mean, who wouldn't it disappoint? But we continued with the dance, slow-danced a little and talked (or rather yelled over the music). He wasn't anti-touchy, because he would put his hands on my shoulders or around my waist every little while.

But after he left the dance, I became a little worried. I don't know if he actually likes kissing or not, or if he's just not ready. I can see where he's coming from - we've been together for about a week and a half.

Things I already know:
I know, it shouldn't be planned or anything, and one of my friends told me this after I talked to them about it. However, he's the type of person you might have to kind of plan it out with if it's ever to happen.

I didn't really push him. After he told me that, I respected what he said and didn't try to pull that move.

He has more experience with kissing than I do, so nervousness might be out of the question.

And in earlier personal experience, I've dated a guy basically like this before. We dated for about 3 or 4 months, and he kissed me once. He was also a lot more anti-touch than the current guy I'm seeing.

I don't want to seem like I'm whining or anything, but I want to know if anyone else has had this experience and what happened (did it turn out bad, good, gay, too young?).

Because like I said, I don't want him to not like kissing. That may sound sort of pushy, but in the long run, lack of affection will eventually be the end of whatever we have.

So. Any stories, advice, etc. to share with me?

*Also: I'm not talking making out or french kissing. I mean a simple sweet kiss.

Well, if it makes you feel any better I know someone who first kissed their boyfriend after a month. Yes, maybe a week is too early and it seems like he's just shy. Why wouldn't he want to kiss his girlfriend? I mean I'm sure he really likes you. Eventually maybe, but maybe you're just more comfortable about it than he is right now. Give him some time and he'll come around. Maybe you also just put him on the spot and he got really nervous? Try...kissing him on the cheek whenever you see him and don't really expect anything else unless he's ready.
