First time with him

[Tashaxoxo]

So I've been seeing an amazing guy for around 6 months and we're going away next weekend for his birthday.
We haven't had sex yet, we've been waiting till I'm ready. Previous relationship was abusive on that front. There's never been any pressure from current partner, he knows about my past and has been very supportive.
We've been intimate, just haven't had sex yet. Last week the subject came up whilst we were having a kiss and cuddle. I said how much I'd like it and think would enjoy it with him. He said he's ready whenever I am but said will leave it up to me to say when. I said how about on your birthday during the weekend break and he said that would be lovely. We talked about birth control and he said would buy condoms. So we have a lose plan for his birthday night.. I guess I'm just a bit nervous about doing it. I haven't been with anyone since abusive ex almost 10 years ago. It was so traumatic I thought I'd never want to be with anyone again tbh. But this guy has changed my view and I'd really like to.
How do I bring it up with him on his birthday? I don't expect him to bring it up as he's not the sort to say hey you agreed. Should I get the condoms and leave them visible in hotel room to let him know I'm ready?

Just go with the flow. I'm sure you'll naturally both get there. Relax amd enjoy it. Try not to over think it. You don't want it to feel contrived

It all sounds very exciting and like you've yourself a decent guy there.

I expect it will happen quite naturally. You've had the discussion, you've already been intimate and are sharing a room so just go with the flow. If he's leaving it in your court, initiate some kissing and take it from there! Good luck!

Can't you just go with the flow and let it happen naturally? You've already been intimate together and kissed and cuddled. That's usually the precursor to sex. And you've discussed and agreed that you'd both like to have sex on his birthday weekend so the foundations have been laid and communicated. Only reason to bring it up again is if you change your mind, to let him know (ideally in advance to take off any pressure/stress on the weekend itself).

Aww really happy for you. Hope it goes well. Just go with the flow

Good luck.

Sounds like a decent guy so I would suggest you lead the way. I know that at the start of a relationship I do like the woman to take the lead as while you can read signals etc... there is nothing worse than placing a hand somewhere and it not being welcome. So if I was in his position, based on what you have said, I would only look to have sex when I 100% know you want to and it has not been me asking or putting any sort of pressure on.

Definitely have some condoms just in case but no need to leave them around. Go with the flow as others said, but also try not to put any pressure whatsoever on it being worth the wait or any such thing. It's always unpredictable and hopefully won't be the last time so it doesn't have to be any kind of major thing for you or him, or you and him. It's just like, see how you feel, follow your instincts, see how it goes.

This!!! Try not to stress and pamper yourself beforehand
