What is the meaning of 奥手 here?


Ok ,so this is frome a mange where two couple have been dating for a while but
did not hold hand,yet .

> 奥手すぎて手も繋げていない

So what does {奥手すぎて} means ? I tried to look it up but did not found any thing
beside that {奥手} means late bloomer .




> 「奥手{おくて}すぎて手{て}も繋{つな}げていない」

「奥手すぎて」

means:

"too slow in sexual developement and ..."

The whole phrase, therefore, means:

> "They haven't (even) been able to hold each other's hands for being too slow
> in sexual developement."
