How long do you wait before having sex when you're dating someone?

as in number of weeks, days, dates, etc. and does it matter how much you like them? as in do you move faster or slower when you like them more or less?

I think you should know them pretty well and have dated quite a lot. If in 3 months of dating you've only dated 3 times, I don't consider that a long time.

If I ever have a daughter, she's going to wait until she's 90.

Dream on.:rolleyes

Funny you asked this b/c we were just discussing this at work today. My answer is that it depends on too many things. How much is the guy "into" me? How often do we date? Is there a good chance that he'll hit it and quit it or that he'll stick around for more? In other words, do I think there's relationship potential. I know some people have a third date rule, but I think that's way too soon unless things are really heating up quickly, but even then he'd have to be pretty dern special or else a case where I'd just have to want a FWB relationship, which I don't. On the other hand, I'm not the type to wait until marriage or even an engagement. Yup too many variables to say for certain, but I don't want to hand out my royal favors to any undeserving Lotharios--I'd rather wait for my prince. (or at my age, a king!)

More than ten minutes.

Seriously? When you're really ready.

Here's something to think about. Birth control fails. STDs can be forever. So if you're going to sleep with somebody, you better be damned sure that you wouldn't mind their being in your life awhile.

Depends.

There were guys I dated who never got it!

I lucked out that my husband was easy...I got him on the first date.

I like a man who can respect my boundaries (and there are many), so I take my time. If he asks and I say no, his reaction can tell me a lot about who he is. If he waits patiently, I reward him greatly.

Length of time depends on the guy, but I like to spend a significant amount of time with him before going down that road. Doesn't mean it always happens that way - I'm human.

In the dating world at least 3 days..or you are a ****..longer if you actually like the person. But I would wait a month or two..people change..and sex can change things too.
