I am a guy. The usual number of dates until I have had sex is about 4 to 5 dates (sometimes sooner).

I have been out with this lady 7 times (over a 5 to 6 week period). I thought 7 was a "lucky" number but to no avail. And when I say no sex, I mean zero sex (of any kind). To be fair, this girl did tell me on date No. 1 that she is a "traditional" girl. I should have quizzed her on what that meant.

I thought 7 dates was a real long wait...so I am thinking it may be best to part our separate ways? I am not sure how long until she feels comfortable but she is 29 years old and has only had one sexual partner (her ex-husband). So the waiting game here could stretch on for a while...though she assures me she is NOT waiting for marriage until she has sex. She just wants to feel comfortable and that she can trust the guy she is with.

Be patient or move on...? For those that answer please specify your gender, just trying to get some perspective. Thanks.

Move on. You two are on different pages. No one should ever have to feel like they are waiting for sex.

"Traditional". Big red flag there. Time to bail.

Female here. Move on. It doesn't sound like you're on the same page. You obviously don't want to pressure her to have sex before she's ready, but your needs need to be considered as well. She might just be one of those people who's happy to wait for quite a while before sex, so if you're not prepared to wait, just let her go.

I'd move on mate, if she feels she can't trust you after 7 dates then she won't after 70 dates especially as it's quite apparent that you are only interested in the sex.

If you're thinking about moving on after a few weeks, then you're not interested in a relationship. You're just interested in the sex.

This again...

"Will she do it this time?... next time? I'll have to give up. Need to find one who will give me the sex".

Ho-hum.

No but the dates have been relatively cheap. Though there have been a few dinners included in this mix. She is not high maintenance in how much dates/restaurants cost. This is more about my TIME...from a cost benefit standpoint. However, time is probably more precious than money...
