+100 see this discussion http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/563311.page your about to join it so you mind as well start responding on it now. I am a girl. If I meet a guy and I at least don't think about what it might be like to sleep with him on the 1st date. I won't have a second date. What does this girl need a "baby daddy". I think you are being strung a long for what ever reason. Don't believe the myth that women don't like sex. Like it just as much as men just don't need to announce it at every turn like men. If you are not 5'6" and 350lbs and have some other major turn off then move on to the next one.


This ^ and your sister called it. This is 2016. Sex by third date is common if both are willing. Unless you are fine with a sexless relationship, you need to let this one go. Stopping making her excuses for her about her relationship baggage. It's not going away. Consider yourself lucky. You get to see your future. So many people here are in sexless marriages (or nearly so) and never saw it coming.

I think 1 and 3 sound pretty much on point OP.

(By the way, is it normal to discuss sex w/a sibling of the opposite gender??)

It is quite unusual to not sleep w/you after 6-7 months of dating.

Can you discuss this issue w/her instead of your sister?
By now, you should be comfortable talking about your needs + concerns together.

Good luck.

she may have a valid reason, but if she hasn't disclosed it to you by now, I would move on. I just think is suggests someone who doesn't have a very strong drive or interest in sex as an integral part of an adult relationship. I disagree with the 3 date rule but I think by 6 months its pretty telling. And the only times I basically didnt sleep with someone by 2 months in--once I was in my late 20s--was when I really wasn't that attracted or into the guy. Anyone I was really attracted to I had to restrain myself.

This. At least give her an opportunity to explain why no sex. She may have a valid reason. While it is unusual to not have sex in 6 months it is not unheard of. Maybe she was really burned before


It doesn't matter if her reason for not wanting to have sex with OP is logical or illogical. Fact is she hasn't wanted to have sex with him. She's not going to logic herself into wanting to have sex with him down the road. And certainly not after 10 years of marriage and two kids.



This is categorically false.

Maybe part of the reason your wife doesn't sleep with you is your boorish attitude.

This. OP/ Do you know anything about her ex? Was he abusive?

It's still something you need to talk about, but there could be other reasons besides what your sister says.

If you see this relationship as serious enough that you think you could marry her, then you should be able to talk to her about sex and why you aren't having it.

Also, if you're thinking about marriage you need to learn now to tell your sister to butt out. Learn to put boundaries in place with her now. Even if things don't work out with this woman, you better believe your sister will be trouble for you in your marriage with any woman if you don't learn how to tell her to myob.

I find it hard to believe that you've been dating for so long and haven't had a 'sex' talk. Why not? I tend to agree with your sister and would add to her lists of reasons that this woman has a lot of baggage that you don't want to be burdened with. If YOU didn't initiate a conversation about sex expectations, she should have. Really poor communication on both your parts that doesn't bode well for a future together.

If she isn't putting out for you by the third date, she is wasting your time. Have some dignity and some self-respect.


I love sex and I'm even married - but putting out by the third date is gross.
You don't even know the person.

And OP if you are just having this level of relationship you should have talked about it first (unless you guys are 70 years old?) and you should be dating other people at the same time too.


I agree. I've NEVER put out by the 3rd date. I'm not a prude. I just need more of a relationship before putting out.

1. You should move on. 2. Meet someone new. 3. Don't discuss your sex life with your sister. 4. Never tell a potential mate you discussed your sex life with your sister.


I didn't talk about my sex life with my sister, just ask general question then, like a sister that knows her brother, put two and two together and then rendered advice.
