+1 yThis is sad. You are right. Your flatmates are wrong.
IF your flatmates are looking for a guy to think of them as serious candidates a guy would consider having a meaningful, longterm relationship with... they are sadly mistaken in how they're going about it.
You are ABSOLUTELY DOING THE RIGHT THING.
I've written about this--at length--for someone else's question fairly recently, but can't remember what the question was (exactly) otherwise I would just link that.
Feel free to message me if you'd like me to expand on that--I certainly can. But if you just kinda want people's quick anwer... mine is... YOU ARE TOTALLY RIGHT. 100%. YOU ARE DOING NOTHING WRONG.
You will keep a GOOD guy around. Your flatmates will have A LOT more trouble doing that... the GOOD guys will fuck them... and they might even be around for a bit... but THEY won't stick around.
Don't listen to your flatmates... they won't get the guys you actually want.
And... enjoy being seen as a woman who doesn't sleep with any random guy she doesn't know. That's what a guy is going to assume. It's his first date with your flatmate. He is... random. He cannot be "special" in any way. Your flatmate just met this guy. What do you suppose that guy thinks about that girl? In terms of:
"What kind of woman... do I want to make my longterm girlfriend? What are the kinds of things I'm looking for in a woman I'm going to consider possibly getting serious with"
A woman who sleeps with random guys (like he is to her; at that point), or even a woman who's slept with every first date she's ever been on... is not the girl you want to make your girlfriend... and definitely not your wife (ever).
It seems that she is not at all discriminating in who gets sexual access to her body. That seems to a guy; to indicate you don't have very much respect for yourself. Whether it IN FACT means that is not what I'm arguing, and it's not really what matters in this case; in this case, what matters is the PERCEPTION YOU CREATE in the guy's mind.
So regardless of whether or not there is any ACTUAL truth in the guy's belief... If you sleep with a guy on the first date, in my opinion, he is BY FAR; less likely to ever take you seriously as a prospect for a meaningful longterm relationship.
If you want a lengthier explanation let me know. Otherwise. Keep making the changes you're making. You will have a better chance of success.
Before you pipe in with examples that contradict this. I acknowledge that there certainly are cases where a happy couple, who's been together for years and years totally had sex on their first date... and who would agree with your flatmate's position.
I'm just saying... I don't think I'm alone in seeing it my way. ;)23 Reply- +1 y
Wow this is like an indeep understand on how a guy will look at this sex on first date stuff, I appreciate your advices n explaining so much. It makes me understand guys a bit more than before and it makes me feel much better on my personal life as those previous advices come from a mature man.

I totally agree with this guy. I wouldn't wanna date a girl who sleeps around, thats cheap. An intelligent woman will value an intimate relationship more. I think people have to understand more that being intimate is someone isn't all just for fun and lust or pleasure, it something valuable that is being given away. I only being intimate with a girl who loves me and doesn't seek for only a short moment of pleasure

@ Marinaughty I'm glad this helped you feel better about your personal life :)
Believe it or not, this was the 'short' version of my answer. It was concerning to read you questioning yourself on this... when you are so clearly right. It would be crazy if your flatmates talked you into adopting their view. Like a terrible (unintentional) joke on your whole love life and search for a mate generally.
Now, @JeRayhatt Thank you very much. I can't say that my own views align with yours completely, but I think I certainly agree with some of your general sentiment. :)

I think your flatmates are wrong about that and you're right to take it slow if you want a true and healthy relationship. A guy who truly likes you and see that you're special to him will wait. And guess what, sex isn't what matters anymore in relationship.
I once dated a girl long distance, we loved each other, sex didn't matter. I waited for 2 years to get physical with her. I didn't cheat, nor did i even wanted another girl then, because i loved her. She was the only girl in my heart.
Just remember, sex doesn't matter. What matters is you find a good partner for life and you can work out your problems together in sync. Good luck33 Reply- +1 y

563 opinions shared on Dating topic. It depends on whether or not you're comfortable with it. There's no objective good and bad, there's different speeds for different people. If you prefer to go slow, then do that, you'll find other people just like you. And same goes for those who prefer to move a bit quicker.

Thanks for your advice, it's really helpful 👍
+1 yI prefer to get to know her better for sure but if it happens the first night I guarantee it's gonna be a night to remember. If it happens and it feels smooth like it just happens naturally then great but if it's just to get laid it's probably not going to last

+1 yIt's up to you really. I mean for me if we feel we want each other after one date then i would but i like the idea of waiting too. Mainly because some girls think that after they have sex on the first date that i don't want anything else from them but sex. And i want to get to know them. So it sometimes makes me wonder who really just wanted sex.

I have read people opinions n I think it really depends on age, probably I'll be like that when I'm about 35 yo haha
3.4K opinions shared on Dating topic. I feel the same way as you. Sex on a first date is ridiculous to me. I find it sad that your friends think it's what everybody should do.

Thanks for sharing what you thought, I'm 29 n my Flatmates are around 22, probably different group of age does behave differently.

2.1K opinions shared on Dating topic. At my age if we're not having sex by the third date then I just assume she isn't into me. Sex on the first date merely indicates that she's serious.

+1 yIf a guy only keeps going out with you because you had sex with him then he's not interested in you as a person, he's just going with you because he knows he can get sex.
