How do I take my relationship to next level with dignity?

Question

Ok, so I have been dating a guy for four months but we have not been physically intimate yet. He has expressed how he appreciates my morals, caution and taking it slow with him. He has not been pressuring me for a sexual relationship and we go out once a week. We are both 33 years old.On our last date I opened up to him and told him that I have not been physical with anyone in a while and this was the reason I have been taking it slow but that I enjoy spending time with him and look forward to more fun.

We made out in his car for a while and then went our separate ways. I would like to move forward to more of a physical relationship. I think he is going to expect more next time and I want to also. I am not trying to be a tease just logical. Would he stop appreciating me? Should I talk to him about my expectations? Should I continue to hold off? or should I just relax and enjoy the ride?

Answer 1

Enjoy the ride...literally. Why do you think you lose your dignity when you are intimate with somebody is beyond me.  

Answer 2

A man of 33 should stop when you tell him to, and not expect more each time you make out.  Especially since you have already told him how you feel about being intimate.  When you are ready to go farther, just do it.  Don't tell him you want more, then change your mind later.  Just go with what you feel comfortable with and you will keep your dignity.

Answer 3

Just let everything happen the way that it is going to happen. Wait untill you both feel ready. If you really want it to move faster, tell him that you think that you are ready for a more physical relationship.
