Is it bad to have sex on the second date?

Came out of 4-year relationship a few months ago (fizzled out, nothing traumatic). Joined Tinder. Met up with a French guy (has lived in the UK for a few years) – bit quiet but nice. Didn’t expect to hear from him after date. We spent the rest of the week texting and start to open up a bit more. I see him the following weekend; watch a film, have drinks then we went back to his and slept together. During the second date I asked him what sort of thing he’s looking for, and he said he wasn’t after a friends with benefits type of relationship. I’m not either, but I don’t want anything serious too soon. (I briefly mentioned how I my last relationship ended) I would rather get to know him, take it slow, but I’m concerned the sex on the second date has ruined any prospect of it developing further. So now, I’m wondering how I move forward. He drove me home and kissed me goodbye, and even texted me asking me how my nap was going. Sometimes it takes him an hour, 10 mins or even several hours to reply to texts, but he hasn’t responded to my reply to his original message (3 hours ago). Shall I cool it and back off and not reply to anymore texts, (I don’t want to text him first and look needy); at least this way for sure I’ll know he’s interested? I’m just concerned that sleeping together on the second day may have changed things. I don't want to play any games.

  • You were in congruent, your actions said friends with benefits and your words said take it slow. Having sex on a second date isn't taking things slow, sex after 3 months that's slow, sex until marriage is slow, for the quiet type of guy he has a bit of a conservative view point on sex, take it slow to him is probably after both of you are in love. I'm not however saying that second date sex is wrong or first date sex is wrong, you are the woman and you pace the relationship, she made the mistake of letting him do that. I can't say for sure he's gone but he's probably thinking you were too easy, by the way Tinder is for hookups, not dating, he was there for sex and he probably thought you were there for that too, and when you words don't match your actions, it confirmed that in his mind. Join a real dating site not one geared for sex if you eventually want to have a solid relationship later even if it's slow, yes people on date site have sex too, but they are usually there because they want someday soon to be attached, Tinder is about unattached sex.

  • Didn't you want to take it slow? He's doing just that :-).

    I don't think sleeping together has changed anything, unless you were both steaming drunk from the drinks then you were both up for it. If you've replied to his original message then leave it at that.

    • haha no we weren't rip roaringly drunk :p

  • Well... keep one thing in mind. He slept with you, too. Sex is a two way street. If he was comfortable doing it at the time that it happened, he is probably fine with it. Girls usually worry a lot more about this than guys do. If things feel right, just keep doing what you've been doing. Keep it kind of casual until you hear from him.

  • There is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
    As for why he's doing that, he's obviously taking things slow, like you asked him to. Sleeping with you is irrelevant to it.
