Been seeing a guy, known him about two weeks - been on 4 dates, seeing him again twice over this coming weekend (friday night and saturday night) and will be seeing him mid week next week and the weekend after.

He's asked if I'd do camping for one night with him on the 17th. That's 2/3 weeks away.

Is it too soon for this?? I really like this guy so am not thinking with my sensible head. What do you reckon?

The sort you can rely on to pitch in...

I think you should go, or a least make tentative plans.

Dammit Tethers. My eagerness to channel Barry Cryer, circa 1964, got in the way of my usual thread-reading thoroughness. Apologies.

Please for the love of all things holy, remember that sex, while it can be intense, is not good in tents if you're in a campsite. Other people + couple of feet away + thin tent material = embarrassment next morning!!

But yeah, I'd say him telling you to take plenty of clothes means he probably doesn't expect sex. But probably won't say no if you start it Wink

I may be a prude but what are the toilet situations at camping, bearing in mind I have never been camping in my entire life as afraid of pooing in a bush

Has he got one of those pop up tents?

O dear, killme - you might want to diy after you're made familiar with the drawbacks joys of camping.

In the wildwoods of which sgb spake, there are no flushable loos or holes in the ground - unless, of course, you want to dig one yourself.

Answering a call of nature during daylight hours doesn't present too much of a problem as long as you divest him of any binoculars or webcams he may be concealing about his person before you go, so to speak.

But at night you could find your bum self on the wrong end of poison ivy, nettles, or nocturnal creatures that are attracted to any white orb that hoves into their view.

Personally, I prefer to camp in 5* hotels or plushly appointed log cabins in the wilderness - provided such wilderness is not more than comfortable hiking distance from civilisation. 100 metres is comfortable. A 50 metre stroll is better Grin

Ok I've agreed to it Grin we go on the 17th for one night.

He's a keen camper and does it a lot with his kids so he knows what he's doing. We're going to a proper camping site so no dodgy seclusion.
And - he's going to cook me a BBQ meal Grin

Now my question is - do I bring up the topic of sex before hand or just go with the flow?

We're going out for a boozy night tomorrow night - topic might come up anyway?

The most he's ever said in relation to sex was on Tuesday night, we had a kiss goodbye - it got rather 'steamy' and he text me later to say I'd got him a bit worked up and he was off for a cold shower Grin

So yeah - we've not even touched each other or anything yet which is why I'm freaking out slightly.

Well he sounds like a nice man who's prepared to take things at a comfortable pace, so I would suggest just relax and enjoy the trip and don't overthink it.

Lucyellensmum99 · 02/08/2012 18:42

You are overthinking things!!! The question of sex is going to come up sooner or later, if you are ready for that when it does, wahay, if not, im sure he will respect your wishes. So it may happen on the camping night, it may not - i wouldnt say anything actually as he may get hurt feelings if you say that you are worried hes only trying to get into your sleeping bag :) Just go along and enjoy it -Envy
