How long do you wait to get intimate with a new boyfriend or girlfriend?

[Pinkspark]

Assuming you are looking for a long term relationship.

[Cynicaldreamer]

Not until we're in a committed relationship with each other. That can range from weeks to months in most cases, but by that point, ideally you should both know each other well enough to know what you're looking for, are you interested in said person, and establish an emotional and physical connection with them. That and there has to be trust before I can sleep with anyone! That's why, usually we're in a stable relationship when it happens.

If he can't wait until I'm ready or feel comfortable with him, it's not happening.

If I remember, Wayback win, it was a few weeks or maybe even a month before my husband and I got full on intimate. I wasn't in a hurry and I could tell that he wanted a long-term relationship because he wasn't focused on it. When you're gonna be in a long-term relationship, you know there will be plenty of time and moments for sexual intimacy, so you're not worried about the speed at which it happens. it's kind of like short term investing versus long-term investing. We didn't have a need for a get rich quick scheme :-)

No doubt, a new couple will be very excited, both mentally, and physically, just try to gauge if you both want the same thing, I'm willing to bet it's hard to do, especially in this decade.

I've heard different formulas from different people. Some say it should be a certain number of dates, some say it should be a certain amount of time. My opinion is that it should be when you are comfortable being intimate with that person. Don't force yourself into it just because of some random formula but also, don't wait if you are both ready.

[AviatorTom]

If I'm looking for a long-term relationship, I let her know on date #1 that I'm interested. That can be a simple kiss, a more passionate kiss, or something more, depending on her reaction to the simple kiss.

After that, we take it at whatever pace works for us. There is no hard and fast rule.

[Guy13]

I wait at least 6 months but one has to keep building emotional connection and bonds through other means.

[OlderAndWiser]

I wait until we both feel comfortable with being intimate. That could be one month or it could be six months.

[anon1903]

I'm not looking for a long term relationship. It's about comfort and intimacy in my case. If I really like him and feel safe with him and feel comfortable enough to get naked and be vulnerable, then I'd do it.

So far no guy or girl has made me feel that way, so I haven't given it up lmao.

[anon1903]

In your case, I'd say a few months. An year, if you guys can wait. You can also wait for marriage.

[nawtee_me]

I don't know, I am kind of old fashion. If I know you or we get to know one another and go out and have a good time. If there is a second date then I am pretty much committed. That doesn't mean we should be having sex but it does mean we should be discussing it as an option.

[sexy_julia]

For me, it was love at first sight. The day my husband and I had met, we were already becoming intimate. We even had our first kiss later on that same day when we went on our first date. Six days later, we became lovers.

[20yearsolder]

I would guess that there are some variants in the equation. How often are you seeing each other weekly? How the chemistry is going. If it's all going well I would say within a month. Whether it's a long-term relationship or not.

[A_Nihilist]

If it happens it happens, so be it.

It's a tricky thing to wait too long or be too impatient with it.

Wait too long, maybe they think you're not interested.

Rush in too fast, they think you're just after sex.

Just let it get hot and heavy by itself.

[SphynxUK]

I would say when you are both ready or when it feels natural. But, if you only date once a week or might be longer than if you date several times a week.

[Chad345]

I would wait until you get to know each other better and you feel confident that he knows you well enough to like you for who you are. And that he wants to spend all his time with you. That's key.

[Kori1236]

I wait until I’m comfortable enough to share myself with them. Until I feel like I can trust them, so there’s no real time constraint on it

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Until I am sure that’s someone I have deep feelings for and that’s someone who has deep feelings for me as well.

[Stressyalaire]

It could take weeks or months to become exclusive, but once we are past that, I am not waiting.

[Iron_Man]

I don’t I have to have sex until after I marry and it’s best to wait anyway but I can kiss within the first three days if I really like her or in my case less because I’ve already know somebody for two years almost

[Paul_in_Indy]

Principal, I like to wait until after dessert. That gives time for maximum anticipation

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Weeks to months depending on how much we trust each other and if we're committed to each other. I don't want anything but a long term relationship, so I'd rather wait.

[Anonymous]

Depends Have we been together for a while. I’d say 2-3 months if I really liked him and cared for him. Some relationships aren’t it. Like this guy he’s really clingy don’t think that’ll work out.

[pethouse]

Can you explain to me what makes him to clingy? I need to in case I ever get a girlfriend

[Opinion Owner]

@pethouse. Like texting all the time. I get busy. I don’t like when a guy responds right away. It’s different if it’s every now and then but whenever I send something don’t respond back right away. Wait a couple minutes.

[Pink2000]

The longest I waited was 6 months and the next time I waited 2 days…

[Anonymous]

Sometimes the same day, sometimes not for 6 months, or anything in between. There are no absolutes in these things.

[Yumix]

Whenever it feels right and we both feel ready. First date or couple weeks/months in... Don't care. Just don't like waiting for stupid reasons

[boobliker]

when it feels right it could be the first date as you know each other of it could be six days or weeks
