Please be careful and discerning with this. Had a guy ask me to be his gf just so he could get laid 😐 (thankfully, I caught his intentions though and nothing happened.. but some people are extremely manipulative and willing to wait cause for some reason they like the thrill of the chase 🥴)
I would absolutely wait, and have since my current girlfriend of now 2 and a half years asked me. I’d be clear with him pretty early on though that you’re strictly looking for commitment. I’m super against hookup culture, but a guy who isn’t will likely be deterred, which in this case is a good thing.
Wait till the convo starts, that’ll just happen naturally. I’d say if you are trying to wait a decent while, wait till like month six to start considering sex, that’s generally when the really heavy hormones are wearing off. And you can kind of gauge it and how fast it’s moving bc other stuff will be happening before that. Also their relationship experience will change things a decent bit. Somebody who went through hoe phase will be much different than somebody who’s been in longer relationships
And yes waiting is not absurd. I personally wouldn’t want to wait till marriage bc, and it’s hard to describe, there’s just like this trust and vulnerability that comes from sex and I feel like you need that before marriage to make sure there the one. With the way a relationship naturally progresses and I feel I get to abt that point by month three/four at earliest and by month six I’m most definitely ready
Yea personally, I’ve found that in relationships you kinda give emotional vulnerability, and then some physical vulnerability is given with that. Theres kind of this like back and fourth between the two that I’ve found naturally happens, and like sex is pretty much the epitome of vulnerability in my mind. Like at that point I trust them with everything yk
