Guys, when should a girl you are going out with tell you she doesn't want to get too sexual too soon?
Let's say I like a guy that I just started dating, I don't mind and enjoy kissing him, touching him, and I do plan on having sex with him eventually, but I simply enjoy getting to know him, and all the innocent and simple things that come before sex becomes part of our relationship. I hate when guys get too sexual too soon, it's quite rare to find a guy who also wants to hold off sex until later and isn't just doing it because the girls wants it that way. So how soon would you like for a girl to tell you she doesn't like getting physical early in the relationship? Or is this something that shouldn't even be discussed, since I believe decent respecful guys won't mind waiting and won't try to rush me, if they dont want to wait and expect it right away they are free to leave.

Definitely want to be open about it. Timing is tricky, but don't think just because a guy is respectful means he won't want to get sexual soon if he doesn't realize you don't want to.
"decent respecful guys [...] won't try to rush me"
"when it feels right"
If it goes too fast, then just pull back
People should never be pressured in to things they don't want to do as that is bullying.
Always good to talk openly about what you want from each other shame not all can
That is bullying? Never thought of it that way but I think you're right
When he reaches for your goodies i'd say. A date is just that. There should never be any implied expectations beyond that i don't care what ridiculous arbitrary date rules people say they are. If she says "no". That means "NO". Get it fellas. If you can't handle that move on!
But even a "yes" means not always a "yes". #metoo
Within the first few dates.. That having been said if you have an arbitrary amount of time rather than just going with the flow and being cautious, that's a red flag to me..
For example, I dated someone years ago, and she told me she would do anything sexual for 6 months, like she had a specific date... That was off-putting, not because of the time, it's because it was planned out and orchestrated. It showed me she was controlling.. I didn't have to break up with her either.. She decided to have a girls night, and decided to bring a few guys home to bang.. It's like so you're making me wait 6 months but you will take randos home to fuck.. Hell no...
that story sounds made up af, based on some stupid stereotype guys like to put on girls these days
It wasn't made up, but believe as you wish.. Her name was Amanda, this was in west Virginia.. And I'm still friends with her dad.. But hey believe as you wish..
well if this is a real story and from then on you decided if a girl waits it's a red flag, keep in mind that some girls wait because they also had bad experiences with guys who used them for sex or they discovered some things about that guy after they had sex so they regretted it, so they wait to protect themselves not to lead someone on
It's not if she decides to wait. Please reread my comments. It's if she has an arbetrary time to wait. I don't mind taking it slow, I don't even mind waiting 6 months, I have issues when she says "no sex for 6 months" and gives no reason. It's an artificial thing to do, I'm a go with the flow kind of guy. If it feels right than so be it, if it does not, than it doesn't happen.. But placing an artificial block on something like that screams control freak. Don't want that in my life..
true, there shouldn't be a specific time for something like this
You're right about the waiting thing.. If I go on a date, and she goes for sex on the first date that's also a huge red flag to me.. Like maybe I'm a booty call.. I can't do that.. I need to at least get to know you, and care about you before we go that far...
I guess I need to make better choices when picking guys, or perhaps it's some vibe I'm giving off that they think they can just get me drunk and I'll give it up, or they go completely opposite and think I'm some kind of virgin. Let's hope I meet some who agree on getting to know eachother first
No I totally get that. My wife and I didn't have sex until we were two months in.. That was my decision by the way... We met at a concert, she was in no condition to drive, so I crashed on my couch, even though she really wanted it, I said no.. I don't do stuff like that when alcohol is involved.
I also didn't want her to think of me as only after sex..
Smart guy. So how is the marriage going?
We are together 7 years this March and married for 5 years of that in April..
Nice, I hope you two continue doing well
Me too.
That is heart- and trust-breaking and clearly a deal-breaker for me, too!
I mean the one from your story! And all luck and love for your marriage! Be open and honest and yourself, best advice.
Happens when it happens. You shouldn't put some timetable on it like it's a appointment for the dentist. Whenever both involved are comfortable is the right time. Good communication with each other is key.
I wouldn't put a timetable on it that is just silly
I chose other, because sex must come after marriage, also they should be thankfull that your letting them touching you and kissing...
Only a boyfriend in a serious relationship can touch you and kiss you but sex should be reserved for the honeymoon which is after marriage, if your not his wife than he have no rights to have sex with you or see you naked. That's my opinion.
Hands down, when it feels right ! Communication is the key, talk about it when it feels right , stick to your guns, at holding off , !
Especially Young men. Most are trying to notched on their belts , make it's right, and dam sure do t let the other pressure You !
Just put it on your profile.
Maybe sex-topics are intimate? Oh, okay. I see it, I write here on public pages. But nobody knows me personally here. So some "fake half-anonymity" here, or pseudonymity.
Don't say it... if its not obvious what u want.. he isn't the one worth waiting
Hmmm, the best type of obvious to me is clear and direct communication. Anything less, in my experience, often lead to misreads and guessing games. We have a responsibility to communicate, not to just intuitively get it right.
Safest to have that conversation as early as possible.
As soon as she wants.
With in the first few dates. Dating is designed to figure out what each side wants out of the relationship. Full blown relationship is a heavy investment in time and energy. I would want to find out sooner rather than later that her intentions are to use me as a body count.
I want something that lasts: I don't want a Ferrari, I prefer a Volkswagen.
this is very confusing. so within the first few dates because you don't want to be used as body count or because relationships are investment in time and energy?
Both
I agree here, because those "Ferrari" women are expensive in maintenance (luxury) but the regular ("Volkswagen" type) is just, you know, awesome!
For me, it wouldn't be necessary to tell me because I would be able to tell by her body signals. Her telling me, is only if she felt it really needed to be said
Will you follow me back?
Thanks for the follow back
And?
huh?
You can tell him whenever you feel like. I would only tell you not to bother too much about it. It's just in your head. The guy isn't even thinking that much maybe.
He is only moving with the flow. When he has sex in his mind, you'll know and that's when you can put across the red signal (only if that's the most appropriate option)
Personally, it's kind of hard to stop when you've gone past the first base haha. End of the day, it's your game. Play it the way you like. No judgements. I wish you all the good luck in life :)
I'm not playing anything, but thanks :)
Life is a game. Thanks!
ASAP! the sooner he knows the better.
If you are into ONS and sex-only relationships, then yes. Otherwise talking to soon about sex can be misunderstood and considered as impolite.
I don’t understand how that’s impolite. This just sounds like setting boundaries to me.
It is a cultural thing, some may find it impolite because sex doesn't belong into words for them but into bed. Sure it is setting boundaries and that is very important.
I agree you need to be careful when you bring up sex but I think saying that sex isn’t your thing early on is something you need to address ASAP because that is actually a preference people have.
Yes, true. I would not like to date a low-sex-drive person as mine is high. :-)
Well there you go.
Definitely early in the relationship to manage his expectations.
Whenevet you feel is the right time for it
