I'm not in doubt at this point I am just trying to think realistically because as sure as any woman may be there is always something that could happen. But he is a great guy and has never pressured me. I love him very much. We have been friends for the past few years and have been dating for almost 6 months now so it has been brought up occasionally. Thank you everyone for your advice!

Lexie88 agony auntWhen you trust him a 110% and when you feel that if you do sleep with him you won't regret it.

When you know that he won't do anything to hurt you.

I think if you're still in doubt...don't do it. You'll know when you're ready without having to ask.

one thing to consider when giving someone your virginity is how long you have been together. if he was already sexualy active before you and hes waited a long period of time it shows his devotion to you.

dirtball agony auntHe sounds like he has the right attitude, as it sounds like you do too. Nothing is written in life. Just because people get married doesn't mean they will be together forever.

My take is that life is too short. If you love eachother, and have similar feelings, then maybe the time is right.

Good luck in your decision. I'm sure he'll support your choice either way because he sounds like a good Guy.

Well, I do want it, but that it probably also having to do with being 19 and loving everything about the person who I'm with. To me it is a very big deal; I'm still a virgin and I want it to be with the one who I will end up with...overall. We have talked about it and he does admit that yeah he wants to do it just like any other guy but also feels that its a no turning back back point if we do have sex which means a lot to me. I'm just trying to find out emotionally if I'm ready because I think I am. Physically, we always are. Thanks for your advice again "dirtball". :)

dirtball agony auntYou'll want it and it will feel right. The idea may still scare you a little, but overall you'll want it.

Sex is one of those things that can be a big deal or a minor thing, depending on how you look at it. If you both are on the same page about it, then that's a good factor for finding the right person.
