This 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. ;)

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 luck

If the chemistry is there, I don't see any reason not to, but if that's not your thing, never let anyone make you feel pressured into doing something you don't want to do.
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.
Just go with your own feelingsI 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
It'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 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.
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.
sex with your spouse on your honeymoon is the best ! thanks
If 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.
You have to do what's right for you. Screw what's trendy, or what is right for your roommates (can I get their number?).
Lol I wouldn’t sleep with them on the first date because they’ll think your easy and won’t respect you ✊
Sex as a reward? If so, that's just plain wrong.
First date or third whats the difference
I dont see anyIt’s not bad if it feels right but if you wait to long we will just find someone else because it feels like you’re not interested
Depends what your looking for, to me see on the first date always indicated short term.
You do what feels right for you. Flatmates do what's right for them. There's a time and a place for everything.
You are doing it right. Your pussy should be the prize that is earned not given on the first day
What else are you suppose to do, play cards.
You are doing it right and your friends are ding it wrong.
It’s bad for too many reasons.
You are doing the right way
