I agree with this except the "stop yourself" part. If you want to have sex, then go ahead and have sex.
This.
- married for 19 years, after having sex on the second date
Agree (also had sex with my DH on our second date)
OP is not asking if it's okay to have sex on the second date so calm down.
Op has stated she doesn't want to have sex and is looking or tips.

Any decent guy will be fine with it.

You don't need to beat around the bush. If you are old enough to have sex, you should be mature enough to communicate about it.
People who are old enough to have sex and communicate in relationships should not use terms like "second base" when communicating about sex in those relationships.

Why does she need to sound apologetic for not being ready to have sex? Why does she need to makeup for it by offering cuddling and making out?
Not being ready is complete on it's own.
I didn't put the word 'sorry' in there. And I didn't write it to sound apologetic, weird that you read that there. But you don't want it to sound like a rejection, more like something you're looking forward to but not tonight. I do see other pps point about making it sound like you're otherwise slutty. So strike the second sentence. Most of it will be in the tone you use to deliver it
