A male United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Me and my girl have been dating for a while. I've given her oral but she's never for me. I don't expect her too though, I consider myself lucky that she even touches me. It's not that I'm bad looking it's just that she's so amazing. Anyway, the other day we were making out and I was basically dry humping her. And somewhere in there I mentioned how in just a few years, on our honeymoon (oh yeah, were engaged) there wouldn't be clothes between us. She said she couldn't wait (figure of speech) Then she asked me, if she asked me to do it would i? I of course said yes. Then she said she was willing. I froze and immediately asked if she was sure. She was kinda frozen too, obviously really thinking. In the end she said no. She didn't. Later when I asked her why she said she was and why she decided she wasn't ready her answer was that it must've been the heat of the moment and that she didn't want to end up like her mom. Her mom gave up college to marry her dad and now they're struggling to keep the house. I know she doesn't want to be like her mom but how does us having sex guarantee that? What do you think?

Because once she gives herself to you then she will have to change her priorities to keep you.

Can you absolutely guarantee that you will wait for her while she goes off to Alaska / Texas for 5 years and then go and join her when she gets her career started in New York?

Of course you can't. She doesn't want to get in too deep because then she will be tempted to not go for it in life but just do something that means she can be with you and then resent it for ever.

Plus the fact she may fall pregnant.

She wants to be free enough to make the decisions that will be best for her and not you.

Good Luck!! xx

I think she's scared. You don't say how old the two of you are? But obviously she's frightened of repeating her parents life...I don't think she's making excuses.I think you need to have a heart to heart with her. But hurrying into sex is not the answer.
