I know someone mentioned it doesn't sound like I am that interested. It isn't that I'm not, but I'm very, very cautious when it comes to relationships. I guess I will just need to bring it up with him, but I hate being the one to bring that up.

That doesn't make sense-I guess I'm old school too-but I don't consider having sex with someone I've been going out with less than 2 months being Very very cautious-or even very cautious- or even cautious at all for that matter.

He could have "gotten" more? Sex is a two way street when you are dating, it isnt about who gets what. It sounds like you dont particulalry enjoy having sex with him. Why do you bother?

You are holding everyone to YOUR standards of ethics, and when someone doesn't conform, then you do come across as really judgmental. What has the OP posted that makes you think she doesn't value her health or have ethics? People come here to discuss ideas or to ask for advice, they don't want to be preached to about their morals. Especially when that has nothing to do with what the OP is asking.
The world is corrupt. I stand by my values and will always put it out there. And I will say it yet again. Regardless of what freaking year it is, good values should not be lost. Think and do whatever you want.

I love how everyone is so defensive when it comes to being moral. Very telling. One thing I can say is that I have never been rude. Why is it that the folks who act rude, like you, are so defensive? When someone is trying to help others take the high road, it really is sad when people want to jump in and support crappy behavior. I am really disheartened.

Never been rude? Re-read this ^^^ post. It's amazing how people can go through life completely unaware of how they come across.

WHAT?!

You have been rude to me 24/7 about my relationship choices. You want people to let and let YOU live then you come in and push your relative morals on everyone.

Hmmm.. Give me examples of actual rudeness. I only encourage folks to take a higher road. You interpret this as rudeness?

If it makes a difference, we have been dating for about a month and a half. We agreed when we started dating that it would just be casual for now.

If by "casually dating" you mean someone that you are not intimate with, then no, I doubt I would want to do a weekend trip with them.

Okay...obviously you and I have a different idea of what constitutes "casual dating"!!

I would not be sleeping with anyone if I wasn't in a serious relationship with them.
