Do you have to have sex with someone before you can decide if you want to be in a relationship with them?

Question

I've heard how some people want to see if there's compatibility in the sheets before dating her. Is this generally the case in modern dating?

I could attempt a relationship with them and then start being sexual, but it would be important to understand that if we rapidly find out we weren't sexually compatible, the relationship would rapidly end. But i can stop seeing other people and focus on exploring whether we work as a couple. But it's a factor that is very important, and the most important elements are not things to magically fall into place in the distant future - they're more about attitudes, turn ons, sex drive and attraction. Mechanical specifics can be worked on, but the compatibility is about the effort level and enthusiasm, not whether the skills are locked in.

You’re probably going to see this a lot in modern dating, yes. Since the physical connection is 1/3 of the whole relationship, a lot of people want to make sure they know what they’re getting themselves into before they get serious.

Not sure about turned off, but i would definitely be a little skeptical about the relationship’s chances. I would still probably go on a date out of curiosity, because the girl may be worth it.

Nope, I have sex after I am 100% sure I will be with them forever aka, after marriage, I would say even for the people not like me, sex before the relationship isn't really normal either.

Makes sense. If a girl told you that she was a virgin and was saving it for the right person, would that turn you off from dating?

if she meant marriage 1st yes. if not best i can tell you is maybe not a turn off. there had best be some other way up there ranked qualaties to keep me waiting. like a near perfect matched personality, intelligence, and loyalty/faithfulness. other qualities are needed too and can be changed out with the 3.5 listed as an example but still would have to be very high.

word of advice to all (men and women) putting out does not guarentee a relationship with anyone. holding off does not either. each person has to find that happy balanced median for themselves and it does vary from potential partner to potential partner.

the playing games reffers to doing all that waiting and her not gaving other superb qualities to fall back on until sex becomes a component. because it would just be leading the guy on.

No. Before marriage, I get, but before dating seems a bit silly to me. I think sex is something you work up to in a healthy relationship, not a starting point.

I don’t really think I’d enjoy sex with a girl if I didn’t like her. I don't know, half of sex if the person and the other half is sensation. It feels better when you love a girl.

No, I am the opposite I have to determine if she is a compatible person before I go to bed with her.
