Nothing last forever. The day will come when every relationship must end, whether its been a great or bad relationship.

Try to enjoy every moment with the person you love.

I'm not sure it's unpopular, but it probably seems self serving (like I'm going to get laid if this view prevails
The thing is though... that fear is not baseless. In high school and early college, it was not uncommon for guys to lose respect/interest in a girl for “giving it up too soon”... even though he was a willing participant. That kind of humiliation follow a woman, long after the guys grow up.

If I actually thought my or my boyfriend's past was subconsciously in the bedroom with us, I would not be a very good lover in the moment for him.
Well the fact that you have to keep misrepresenting what I said in order to refute it makes me think I was pretty much spot on.

Not sure of an exact number but try to make sure they're not too short.

Living together actually doesn't increase most couple's chances of eventually having a successful marriage.

It's not misrepresenting when I am quoting you directly.

Anyway, the thread has been derailed enough. You and I disagree! What a surprise.

Sleeping together early is a good idea. If they truly like you, they’ll stick around. If they were only after one thing, then you haven’t wasted much time getting attached. The guys who lose respect after that weren’t worth the effort to begin with.

Dating someone older is better than someone your age or "equal".

Agreed. If they go running down the road after: "I got some I got some, nya nya na"....
Ok, bye...
Who wanted that nut hanging around?

That neither are worth the trouble or hurt they cause and are best left alone.
