[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, I am clearly a prude.  I never occurred to me when dating to have sex before i was comfortable and we were clearly exclusive.  [/quote]

nobody is saying to have sex before you are comfortable.... what the OP is effectively talking about the opposite of waiting until you are comfortable... she is saying to put a "minimum" number of dated in place which means she may be postponing sex beyond a point where she is comfortable simply to "date without sex" because she has a rule...

I've been watching this thread and I have to say that I think the OP would be very difficult to date. I get the strong impression that the guy she feels "rejected" by (see her other thread) probably can't figure out if SHE is really interested in him. She probably sends mixed signals and is probably more into having a guy chase after her than she is into actually having a relationship.[/quote]

I'm not the OP of the other thread. I'm not saying I'll wait to marriage either. I want to change my strategy because I tend to be comfortable for sex early on and it complicates things for me and causes problems further down the road. I'm trying to build emotional inimacy first which usually takes a long time for me because I think sex confuse things for me[/quote]

I am on the op of the other thread.

If I sleep with a guy early on, I get more invested in wanting the relationship to work out. I'm more likely to overlook issues etc. Whereas if I haven't slept with a guy yet, and I see some red flags, I'm better about moving on. It's like waiting to have sex keeps my head and emotions and judgment clearer.[/quote]
