How long do wait until you get intimate with someone?
Days, weeks, months? Everyone's different, but I'm re-entering the dating field as now I'm divorced after being married for about 10 years and I would appreciate feedback from women and men.

here's teh deal the way I see it;
marriages are failing faster than ever before, I believe that the reason is people are not taking the time to get to know eachother like they used to.
It takes a very long time to get to really know a person good enough to decide if you can live with them for the rest of your life. Most people (99.5%) go straight to bed after the 1st to 3rd date; when this happens you find out if you are SEXUALLY compatable with a person and it becomes the most important part of the relationship.
Problem is, even though we all wish we could, a relationship involves much more than sex and you can't spend the next 40 years of your life f****ing.
For this reason, I am starting to beleive that it is a very good idea to wait for a LONG time before becoming sexually involved in a serious relationship. Get to know th eperson on a spiritual and emotional level.
What do they do when they first get out of bed in the morning, have you ever seen her without makeup, have you ever seen him around kids, what is his church like, how does her mom cook. THese are all questions you need to know as they will help you to better choose a partner next time.

All up to you. If you feel a certain way about yourself, you may have standards, and may want to see if the guy will stick around for a month before you give him the sugar. Some women are less interested in how long a guy waits, and wants to bang just as fast the guy does. Also depends on what youre looking for, if you're looking for something stupid, and flingish...then there is no waiting period. If the guy seems like he could be the next serious thing, then maybe you want to wait to see how your personalities and worlds can blend together. You asked a very broad quesiton, therefore I have no choice but to give you an even broader answer

Until marriage sseems like the only good advice. Anything other than that opens you up to all the regret and pain associatated with unfulfilling and undercommitted relationships. This is not even to mention how DANGEROUS sex is today with all the disease, etc.
However, I'm more concerned with emotional well-being. Sex is an expression of love. It was designed to bring two people as close together as physically possible and is ALWAYS tied to the emotional component. Especially for women. Besides, you now have 10 years of memories associated with love and will have to CAREFULLY recreate tht for yourself. Go slow.. be careful. We Live, We Love, We Forgive & we Move On.

If you have to ask the question you are not ready for a serious relationship. Meeting people and going out on dates your instincts should keep you safe. You will know when the moment is right whether it was at the end of the date or 3 mos. or more from the first date. The main thing is not let anyone but yourself decide.

If you want a guy to respect you, you should wait until you are re-married. I am a 41 yr old man who is dating a lady of similar age, and we both agreed to wait for the sex, so that we could build a solid relationship built on a solid foundation of friendship. The sex is only a part of marriage, but if given away easily, no guy will ever feel the need to marry you.

After my parents got a divorce my mom started dating right away, but it took my dad over a year. It's really how you feel. Someone can't tell you there a time limit when to start. It's how your heart feels

You are a adult. I hate waiting for the sake of waiting. I have waited 2 weeks I have waited 2 days. Do what feels right. I don't see holding back to alleviate some social taboo. Sex is wonderful, if it is consensual and you are an adult. you know right from wrong.

It really doesn't go by days, weeks or months. It goes by on how you and your partner feels. If you two feel that's it the right time, just go off of that. If you feel under pressure to do it, then don't. Feelings go into things like this and you don't want your feelings hurt. Believe me. Just listen to your heart and feelings toward this situation.

9.9 times out of ten I can get in a girls pants within 2 hours. Those are document-able stats. I don't play the games the people play, I get down to the business of pleasuring women and they get sexually excited. We have sexual relations once, and they fall for me and want to give me booty calls.

Till after your married, if you both can wait till then that's when you will both know that your Love's real. Especially cause your kind of on the rebound, don't get talked into sex to soon.
