    I’ve been seeing this guy for a month. On our fifth date we had sex. He has texted me daily ever since. He asked me out for dinner today. I mentioned some books to him and he bought a copy of one and read the other one..I think he is interested.

    Was it too soon? We get along great, there is awesome chemistry and we have fun.

    What should I expect today? What is he expecting? We are going to dinner in a place not close to his house or my house. I intend to just have dinner with him, maybe a drink and call it a night. I’m not after the relationship talk or anything, I know its too soon but I just don’t know what might be on his head.

    It sounds like he’s interested in you, so that’s a good sign. Don’t regret what you did – you made the choice to sleep with him, and that’s okay. Own your decision. If he pressures you to have sex tonight, that means he might be only after sex. However, if he doesn’t, it’s more likely he’s after something meaningful (like a relationship). Did you talk to him about what you both want?

    That’s good advice. No, we haven’t. He hasn’t said he wants something serious and neither have I. He said something about being more prepared for a relationship now than he was in the past but nothing more than that.

    I feel like if I get it out tonight, after we had sex for the first time, it might be too much. I think I have to read his behavior today, if he is just after the sex, he’ll be like lets go for a drink at my house, etc, etc…If not, I guess he will be okay just going for dinner.

    Well at this point it doesn’t really matter if it was too soon because you’ve already done it! Now it’s just water under the bridge. It would have been nice if you had more of a discussion regarding what you both want in a relationship BEFORE you got physical with him, but it’s too late for that now. I would not have any manner of relationship talk this evening. You’re right that it’s too soon. And a lot of guys are looking to see if a girl freaks out after sex and starts talking about the relationship and the future and thinks all the sudden once you’ve gone there that it’s an instant relationship.

    Don’t put that pressure on him. Just have fun tonight, if he’s only after sex now you’ll be able to tell soon enough.

    I’d say just go and enjoy the date.
    What is done is done at this point.
    He seems interested in you and his behavior after the sex hasn’t seemed to change at all.
    Many women let the sex get in their head a ruin things. Keep your cool and own your choice.
    If he is looking for a relationship sex on the first date or the fifth date would not make a difference to him.
    Let us know what happens.

    Moon,

    Just be your authentic you tonight. Just reset the situation and go there as if you are on your second date or third. He like what he saw and experienced from date one to fifth and instead of pulling away, he’s connected with you. Just don’t sleep with him again unless you’ve had the “what you are looking for” discussion so you don’t set yourself up for casual or FWB situation. Just get to know him and enjoy.

    Update:

    we had out date and it was great. We went to dinner, we shared a bottle of wine and it was all very nice. Even better than before,like I felt more relaxed. He was also being very sweet and searching for my hand, giving me pecks, etc. He walked me home and in the end kissed me very passionately. He didn’t even hinted for sex, after dinner we went for a drink and played board games in the bar and that was it.

    In the middle of the date, He asked me on another date this week. We were talking about films, so he said that he could bring the box of popcorn I have left in his house. After that, he said we could go to the movies. We’re going out on Saturday.

    He seems very interested. Right now its hard to tell since I can’t really tell what he is after. He could be after a FWB or something else. I guess we will see.

    I really wouldn’t mind having sex with him on Saturday but maybe its better to wait until I know we’re in the same page?

    Given the fact, that sex didn’t even came out. I think he wouldn’t mind not having sex on saturday. Its hard, though!

    Moon,
    I think your letting that sex get in your head.
    What exactly are you concerned about?
    Have you asked him what he’s looking for, not between you two but what he wants in general?

    I think you should find that out first before you proceed with the sex again.

    The biggest overall theme in your case is get to know what a man wants before you have sex with him. You seem to be wrestling with your choice. Own this because you can’t undo it now.

    aww youre sweet moon… I like reading your story :)

    I believe, regardless as to whether he does or dosent “ask” or “hint” towards sex – he wants sex. Hands down. He wants it. Hes had, he wants it again, and you really cant fault him for that.

    As for this saturday.. that is a tricky one…
    You said that you might want to wait until you know youre on the same page?
    Tell me whats on your page? try and remember you cant have expectations for him otherwise your likely to be disappointed. You can however have standards for how you handle yourself.

    He likes you. No doubt. He appears interested in all of you thus far, not just the sex. Saturday nights are reserved for the girl he really likes. He is getting on your dance card early (so he doesn’t risk you going out Sat night with someone else.)

    Of course he wants sex. That is not the issue. The issue is you are way too in your own head about it already.

    Chill out. Seriously.

    Be yourself. Enjoy him and don’t lose yourself in the “what ifs”. Be natural and comfortable and let things evolve in the moment. If sex happens and it feels like a natural progression, great. If y’all don’t for whatever reason that is OK too.

    I disagree some with a few posters above. If you want sex too, own it. It’s fine. Enjoy him. Just be fully in the moment and do not saddle the budding romance with a heavy expectation conversation. No no no! Kills the vibe. Doing so takes away the opportunity for him to bring it up, for him to tell you what HE wants etc. Never take that opportunity away.

    Get out of your head and just enjoy things in the moment. Be yourself and do not apply any pressure. When you can do this men will leap at the chance to make you their girl.

    Smile and be happy! You have a Sat date….yippee! Now quit freaking out and get busy being the great girl he really likes!!!!

    The guys likes you, clearly, he behaves like prince charming towards you, you’ve had SIX dates with him, and sex ONLY on the fifth date, so what is the issue with sex? Of course go ahead and have sex this Saturday, and enjoy it! You’ve already done it with him, so what are you losing? Don’t talk about relationships, he seems to be the type of a guy who would bring it up himself. If you don’t bring it up, you will also have a chance to bail out easily if YOU decide you don’t want a relationship with him.

    I think the only problem here is in your head! He clearly likes you and the relationship is going well. Don’t ruin it by over thinking and strategizing! Just enjoy your time together for what it is.

    There doesn’t seem to me to be any point holding off sleeping with him again unless you’re not comfortable with doing it.

    Thanks girl for all that great advice! I agree, there is no point. It felt like the right thing at the moment, it was great, I don’t regret it. I think the best thing I can do is to see how things unfold on saturday, if we go for a movie and a drink and thats it, great. If something else, happens. Great. I’m trying not to have any expectations of what is going to happen. I will just be myself and have fun. He is a great guy and I enjoyed meeting him. Whatever happens will happen…

    The “what we want talk”, I don’t know, it might be reassuring to know that we both want to get to know each other and that it might head towards a relationship, but its not a guarantee. Anything can happen. Besides, I’m dating other guys(not sex, though) and I assume he is dating other girls(he is very good looking) so I’m not really sure of my expectations towards him either.

    And yeah, it is naive to ask if he wants sex. Of course he wants sex, I want it too! haha

    Sex is nothing dirty, do not fret it, if it has happened, it will happen again. Obviously this guy is not looking for FWB, he has shown that with his actions. It does not mean that this will work out in the long run or that you two will be a match but it will not depend on sex because he is pursuing you now, he has been and still is interested. The only mistake that was made is the no talk but then sometimes it is just obvious, in this case it seems that he wants to be exclusive and is reserving the best times for you always making sure to ask you out.

    thanks for your reply. I don’t fret it. It’s true what you say: there are no guarantees, many things can happen.However, he does seem interested. We shall see what happens…

    Well, you said it. If you can own it without the talk, then by all means have sex with him on Saturday and after that. Just please, don’t post here if and when you start to have stronger feelings about him. It’s harder to climb out from casual (no talk/no expectations) then into an exclusive, bf/gf relationship – that’s the one thing I can guarantee you.

    …it’s going to be an uphill battle should you find yourself in that situation.

    You’re forgetting why you came to this forum. It’s not about measuring if he really, really likes you. Rather, this is about you and how you can manage your feelings should you have sex with him again without the talk. He definitely like you and want to have sex with you. If you are okay with that without being exclusive and committed, then go ahead.

    Let me make something very clear to you: Selectors have power.
    ( & good for you dating!)

    In order to be a selector, you have to have options. You have to have choice. And once you do, you’ll gain a magical ability called:

    Walking Power – that is, having the willingness to walk away.

    The biggest reason women end up months or even years into bad relationships is that they couldn’t bring themselves to walk away from a bad thing. They feared that they might never be able to do better.

    Women who garner choice in their dating lives don’t fall into this trap.

    The timing doesn’t matter.
    Being self-sufficient, confident and grounded does.

    The make-or-break ingredient isn’t some arbitrary number of dates to wait before sex.

    Have fun – you got this ;) and hell be lucky to be around the likes of you xox

    Update: We have been talking everyday and yesterday he asked me if I wanted to go with him to an event there was yesterday in our city. I agreed and we meet there. He was being really affectionate the whole time. We went for a drink afterwards, we started talking and he asked me if I was seeing anyone else, I said I was. He said he wasn’t seeing anyone else and that maybe he had to step up his game. I found this immature. After that, he kept asking me questions about the guys I was dating. I answered with the truth but very briefly.

    After that, he was really sweet all night. He kept kissing me and searching for my hand, staring at me and smiling. He said at one point” I just want to kiss you all the time.” He said that this Saturday we could go to the museum. We didn’t had sex, just kisses. They were very sweet and not at all sexual. He would kiss my forehead and push back my hair…judging from the fact we’re going to the museum, I don’t think we’re going to have sex. I’m glad that he is not in a rush, though.

    So this, I guess, was the talk? He didn’t said he wanted a relationship but he did got jealous after I told him I was seeing other people. He is very affectionate but yesterday he was being really, really, affectionate, is just confusing. I wish he could just speak clearly. Any advice on how to make him do so?

    He’s still getting to know you. Of course he doesn’t want a relationship with you yet and neither should you. It is time for you to get to know him and see if he is compatible to you or not. What is so confusing about this??

    Sorry but your putting too much emphasis on SEX and its going to spoil what’s really a good thing IMO.

    This man really likes you and having all that “serious talk” is a good way to SPOIL a budding relationship! Stop concentrating on SEX…just be in the PRESENT, enjoy the moments without thinking ahead because unless you have a crystal ball neither of you know where it may or may not go.

    Relationships aren’t SCRIPTED or PLANNED…they just evolve without the needless thinking, talking, worrying, stressing or wondering. Think of dating as a gift that is slowly unwrapped with each date without trying to GUESS what’s in it because you could very get A LEMON once the mask starts slipping off and his true self is slowly revealed. Just listen, watch and observe—if its meant to be allow it to grow organically

    Moon,

    This is the courting phase. Just enjoy it and don’t think far ahead or feel because it could send out a negative vibe. He asked you and you answered truthfully and most importantly, briefly. You both don’t owe each other an explanation so long as you both know upfront what you are looking for.

    Don’t put way too much stock on the googly, lovey dovey eyes, actions….means nothing until he has locked you down as a GF. You showing up on dates with him is more than enough for now. It’s his job to sell you his brand, himself – and you are the buyer, so you get to select. Don’t ever forget that.
