Being as i'm younger, and most people in this group seem a bit older i am wondering how long before dating someone you feel comfortable engaging in intimacy?

There is no clearly right or wrong answer to this, but I do think that the more experience you have, the easier it is to make the decision that's right for you (and the answer will vary for each person you date, so it could range from first date to never). That means that early in your experience, you may make mistakes, but if you learn from them, it's not necessarily a disaster. However, taking things slowly when you're inexperienced is seldom a bad choice! It seems that few people take their time anymore, but it really comes down to your own comfort level, desire for the experience, goals, and personal values.

It depends on how you view your body. If you view it as an extension of your being, as a vessel that allows you to live and affects how you feel on a daily basis, as something of worth, etc., you will wait for someone who will respect it and you. If you view it as a tool for pleasure, you don't have to wait.

I think it's wise to follow Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger's advice to be on the safe side and not get used or heartbroken -

No sex until monogamy

But seriously folks, if you really click with someone, it could be in the first few minutes. If not, then months won't matter.

Perhaps i don't know many of my friends have had little time between metting and sex and ended up with marriage or long term dating. Also i wonder about the advice of someone who isn't married herself yet advising people on it .

I would say a few weeks or so however, you should be very careful about bringing a child into the world until you are ready and able to do so. Otherwise it can be disasterous for both of you.

I think I read something somewhere that the slower couples take it the longer the relationship lasts. obviously this isnt true for everyone but think about it. Especially for certain guys if a girl gives it up on the first date, how much of a challenge is she really going to be for that guy? Unless that guy is really into her he may move on rather quickly. just my thinking.
