The Waiting Game

Ok. I haven’t broken down and read the latest two books to be ALL THE RAGE yet. In fact, I’m holding out. Why? Lots of reasons, some, my own personal belief, that a man can’t tell me how to be a lady, but another one... “who made you the authority on dating? And you aren’t even in my age bracket?” I had this discussion with a couple of different people this weekend, and although I have come to MY OWN conclusions, I want to know what you think? (I know the overall themes of the books are supposed to be good, but...)


How Long Should You Wait to Have Sex With A New Potential Partner?



Here’s my view.

As a woman, I don’t think it matters how long you wait, what you say, or what you do? I waited for different time periods for different reasons. Really, I think the maturity level, in some cases how you meet, if you guys are both in the same mindset and the conversations before and after are what count.

Now don’t get me wrong, if you are looking for something meaningful and long-term, then, there’s a slim to none chance it’s going to happen with a one night-stand (although I’ve heard of success stories), however, if you are waiting and holding out, in hopes that it could blossom into something, well that could backfire too!

I have many experiences to back up my points-of-view. I will share, but what I want to know (from the guys as well). Guys, is there a time frame, in which you say, “Hmmm, she must be the one because she held out for _______ days”???
