Guy wants to know how far I've gone?

So, I just started dating a guy. We've made out, but that's about as far as he's gotten. He asked me yesterday how far I've gone with a guy. I assume he just wants to know how far he can go with me, and it made me feel a bit cheap and used. Is that the only reason a guy would ask how far I've gone?

  • Guys can't ask a single question that isn't complimentary without getting flak for it. Even when we compliment it's taken wrong.

    There are a number of reasons that could motivate him to ask that question but you instinctively jump to the worst one. Knowing how far someones gone can tell a lot about a person and lead into a lot of other follow up questions. How casual are they about sex? How many partners? How frequently did it happen? What haven't they gone farther? Are they religious? Is it because of insecurities? Is she waiting for marriage or just the right guy?

    And the list goes on. Just answer the question and if he reacts negatively you'll know you've found a dud. Otherwise just roll with it and see where it takes you. If you think that he doesn't need to know yet you can tell him that. It'll probably make him defensive, though. Overall, the best advice is get outside of your comfort zone and open up a bit. You can't bond if you don't share.

  • He could be asking for other reasons, such as being embarrassed that he hasn't got that far with a girl or he wants to know if you are very protective (in a good way) about your body. You could also use this to your advantage by saying something like "I've gone ______ far with a guy but only after X months of us being official or when I truly am comfortable with him"

    Don't make yourself sound easy "oh I go all the way with every guy I've been with". Use this as an opportunity to show him you mean business and see how he responds.

  • Well I can tell you why I wanted to know how far my guy had gone, and perhaps it's for the same reasons. I wanted to know how far he had gone out of a mixture of curiosity and jealousy. I knew some of the people he had been with because he kept them as friends and I couldn't stop wondering what he had done with them. Also, it feels pretty special to know that he has done things with me that he's never done with anyone else. That could also be why he wants to know :)

  • Yes pretty much! Not much of a guy in my opinion

  • Stop assuming it like that <_¤

    that's a simple question anyone could ask their partner who has already been in a relationship before !

    .

    So chiill

    don't think like that may be he just wanted to know so that he can go or beyond that limit !

  • Fairly straight forward question, I don't know why girls look into things. He asked how far you've gotten ... that is the question. The reason is human curiosity and possibly health issues/concerns he wants to know about (ie.std's are you on the pill, have you done this before ect)
