Is it possible to successfully date without sex?

[Anonymous]

I had sex with my husband on the 2nd date. I swear, I tried to resist but it was basically impossible.

I guess I will qualify this story a bit and say that I had a huge crush on him from afar for the better part of a year before we were finally introduced, and I knew a lot about him through others (i.e. that he was not a player).

I get where you are coming from, OP. But I also think if you CAN wait for months before you have sex with a guy you probably are not that crazy about him. Something to consider.

OP. You can look at this in different ways. There are many people out there who are not getting physical early. They tend to find each other. You might have dated some of them. They might have sensed that you wanted to make a move and thus walked away.
In my experience, the desire to move quickly was a characteristic shared by a personality that I avoided. There was an impulsiveness, and a live for today attitude that scared me. Often less sophisticated than the kind of man that I liked. In the end, I never slept with a man that I would never have married. Therefore, I had to get to know them well. Not once did a man go packing simply because I would not have sex.
Use your judgement. Know what you want. Be patient.
