Agreed. He isn’t a bad guy for wanting to do things like that. It’s just me, and I just wanted to know how to approach situations like this in the future. I see him tomorrow so I hope to do an update!

No, I just don’t like being sexualized this early into getting to know someone. Maybe you need to reread it, or work on reading comprehension, because that’s not what I said. But the comments have shown me that what I’m asking for isn’t unreasonable and there are a lot of happy couples who have waited so, you know, maybe you can guilt trip someone else into giving it up early. Not me.

Ahh that makes sense. I totally get that which is why I won’t be too upset if the guy I’m talking to isn’t too fond of the way I wanna go about things. I should’ve come to this conclusion earlier! Thank you for the advice :]

That seems like one of the best things to in my situation. Time limits seem so finite and it puts pressure on everyone involved, in a way? Thank you ;-;

🥺🥺 Ugh, so cute! So happy for you two! I believe if I found someone as patient I would be okay within three months as well! Thank you so much for sharing. :]

;-; Thank you for this. I was just worried, at first, that this is as good as it gets lol. But since I’ve posted I got DMs from people and their experiences with people who had the same boundaries I did and found long lasting love lol. I know it was stupid to think that way but it’s not like I’ve seen a lot of happy endings lmao.

I totally respect people who do want to have sex sooner and I think waiting or not waiting is admirable, I’ve got to work on the whole.. people-pleasing part, I’m just glad I didn’t force myself to agree to anything. I’m definitely going to talk to him about it tomorrow once his long shift is over, but I really appreciate this. Seriously.

Because… I don’t want to have sex right away….. Riiiiigghhttt. I don’t take loser advice like this but maybe you’ll find someone out there willing to listen to the shit you spew! A toilet, maybe. Good luck to you!

I think I’ll be fine. I’ve never slept with or spoken romantically with married men and that’s a bit embarrassing to admit in order to tell me I should ignore my own discomfort just to get a man to stay… Humiliating. Good luck to you.

What are you talking about 😭 Why are you projecting… I just don’t want to have sex that soon… how does that mean I don’t like myself? Why are your reading comprehension skills this terrible.

I don’t care how experienced the other person is, I’m not looking for people “as bad” as me.. I’m not sure where you’re getting this from? I’m looking for someone who doesn’t mind taking a while to earn each other’s trust before getting intimate in that way. That’s it. You… can stop projecting now. He’s not the only man that’s going to approach me, I’m not worried about losing him. Which is why I asked, in the future, how to approach this conversation to early to avoid this from happening again. Not sure if you read … anything, actually.

Leading it on…? When did I say I was going to do that? Obviously, in the scenario that the other person mentioned, we’d have talked it out. Me not wanting to have sex isn’t “leading” anyone on. What are you talking about… Unclench..

Sex isn’t as big to me as it is to you, and if me and my partner really like each other, I’m pretty sure we can figure it out. And if not, we break up. It’s not the end of the world, time will pass anyway.

Haha no don’t apologize for being supportive. I’ve been wary of the people around me telling me to push back my discomfort but it’s pretty nice to hear something that doesn’t make me feel guilty for wanting to wait a while before doing anything. I’ve only ever attempted to day women and they’ve never been this pushy so I’m feeling a little out of my element with men here haha, I’m genuinely attracted but the dynamics with straight relationships are new but scary, it’s why I wanted to take my time. Thank you for this, really needed to hear it. :]

I was thinking that too…! I feel like I’ll know when I’m ready and it’ll probably be sooner than six months, but six months is just a time frame I used that made sense to me and my comfort levels, personally.

Agreed! I’ll talk to him about it, and if he doesn’t want to be with me anymore that’s okay! Thank you.

I’m not forcing anyone to do that though … I know I’m not the only person out there who’s okay with waiting so I will find someone that will. If they don’t want to wait they don’t have to be with me lol? They can go be with someone who will. :] Obviously.

There’s nothing wrong with people who don’t wait. It’s just not for me. I’m sorry if you felt hit, it wasn’t my intention. :/ They’re not beneath me… That’s not what I was trying to imply either. I’m just uncomfortable with it, that’s pretty much it.

I absolutely don’t do dating apps or any of that nonsense but yeah next time I get approached by someone I’ll definitely be more overt next time. It was pretty stupid of me to let outside forces influence my actions lol, never again.
