Somehow I've always been wary of going into a physical relationship with someone too soon. My past relationships, I have always waited to see if the person I'm with would be trust worthy enough for me to get intimate with him. My first relationship, which was back in school, I didn't sleep with by ex even after we dated for almost 7 months. While some may call this prudish behavior, I find it hard to have sex with a man unless and until I connect with him on some stronger level.
Then again, when my present boyfriend and I met for the first time, we did get physical. I don't know how, but instinctively I felt like he could be trusted and that he would respect and hold the bond, whatever little it was at that starting point.
What are your personal views on this? If you were attracted to someone, would you go to bed with him on the first date?
