How long do you wait i.e. how many dates before .......

I finally have sex after 2.5 years? Have been dating a guy for the last few weeks and it is going great! But I was wondering how long is an "acceptable" amount of time to wait before I can finally feel less frustrated. Any suggestions/personal stories?

Next date is this weekend, should I be hawling out the nice underwear or stick with the dodgy old stuff?

Many thanks ladies

lol. totally agree LW - tbh DP has now said he'd rather I was more vocal first than just showing! lol.

but it's fantastic to meet someone who's exactly like I am! YAY! (apart from the children issues)

ther'es someone for you LD - just need to assure her it's ok, when I said to DP about it he was well, all oh yeah go for it lol.

BB - good luck when your date is. don't forget to play safe

Whenever feels right for you.

My DP invited me to his bed on date 3 & I was very shocked! I refused as it ws only our 3rd date, and made him wait until date 5...and then I was only going into his bedroom for a minute!!

Wow more messages. Thanks for that. Well, I bought new undies - and they match

Have decided it is either this weekend or even better next weekend as ds will be at his Dads for the weekend so less pressure as it were.......just don't think I can wait until then!

Will update on this how things go!

Bxxx

I dont think it matters much how long you wait after a certain ageas long as its not first few dates.Thats what I tell myself.

I failed with my date 5 then! Was over a month after first meeting though, as we only saw each other once a week, so I will look at it as 6 weeks into the relationship! (he had a weeks holiday inbetween!)
He asked if I had always been a lady of morals, so can't have come across as too much of a strumpet!! We are still together 8 months later.

Do it when you feel ready, and make sure you come back with that update!

Oh dear! Well he got back from his week away with flu.....so no shenanigans this weekend sadly. If no progress next weekend, will be buying out Anne Summers........

You remember in those old films when a woman is in labour they stick a bit of wood between her teeth, well that is a bit how I am feeling at the moment.......

Sorry there is nothing more exciting I can tell you. All underwear been returned to the drawers and the gruesome greys have returned

Loving this thread, I've been seeing someone for a cople of months and we very easily jumped in the sack the 4th time we met after a snog at the end of date 3. I'd not had sex for over a year before that so was checking I still knew what to do . We only see each other once a week, twice at most (he lives 40 miles away and has his son a lot) so it's quite frustrating.... being back in the saddle but not able to go riding as often as I'd like
There's no right amount of time to wait, just when it feels right, surely.
