When to sleep together??

I am in the very early days of a new relationship with a fab guy from POF. We've discussed sleeping together and both agreed we like each other n care about each other enough to want that. Also explained my fears regarding sex after childbirth as I had a baby 6months ago, repair surgery 15weeks ago. I guess I just don't know what is deemed an appropriate waiting time to dtd with a new bloke without appearing frigid nor hussy.

I'd stop worrying about whether it's the right and proper thing to do, and just go with the flow. If you feel physically well enough to go for it, and you're happy with him, then just do it. The fact you can discuss it all so openly is a really positive sign, good luck!

There is no appropriate waiting time - its up to you - whenever feels right.
I normally have a 3 or 4 date rule, but thats just me as it takes me a while to feel comfortable.
He sounds like he would be understanding whatever you decide.
Just relax and enjoy!!!

As I imagine there are not many people who think the same as me here, I thought I'd add my own tuppenceworth.

For us, the appropriate waiting time to sleep together was marriage.

After making several mistakes sleeping with men too soon who never called, I've found 4-6weeks of dating to be right for me.

Thanks all. We've only had 5 dates over 2weeks so v v early. Weird though seems so much longer. He's seen me without makeup ahh! But I think I will wait another 3 weeks or so

Personally I subscribe to the 4 date rule Xmas Grin

However, there was a thread a while back on which it was categorically decided that if a date went past midnight then it was technically 2 dates.

I'm really not much help am I?

What I would (seriously) say is wait until you feel comfortable.

Agree with others, wait until you feel comfortable, don't rush it and keep communicating with him.
