Is it possible to date someone now a days, and not have them expect that they will be getting s*x?

Question

Everyone thinks that s*x is to be expected. How do you let them know that it isn't in the cards, because of your religion.

Answer 1

I would be straight up about it to begin with. Let them know what you are looking for and NOT looking for in a relationship.

Answer 2

Absolutely... I would say if they expect it their not worth having...But then again I am a serious practicing Christian and Don't believe in having premarital s*x ..  

Answer 3

thankyou girl i was wondering about that myself

Answer 4

s*x is absolutely expected. You need to let them know right away if you are not planning to have s*x. Otherwise it is deceptive given people's expectations.

Answer 5

Well. this is not possible. .. . if some one is dating.. means need s*x.. but if some one is in love and dating (and the love is true) then this thinking of s*x will be after marriage. (both of the partners will think of it but at a right time.

Answer 6

of course its possible but its always at the tip of their minds.

as they say "it takes 2 hands to clap" . . .

Answer 7

Let your feelings known early on (not on the first date or anything, but when it comes up). If the guy respects you enough to just want to be with you, he wont mind.  

Answer 8

i was a virgin before i got married even though i was not religious

Answer 9

in my place s*x is that last thing expected as it comes after engagement duh so move here

Answer 10

never dated, donno...

Answer 11

The best thing to do is be open and honest. If you're dating this person, you probably want to know a lot about each other. Religion is definitely a topic you want to discuss if it's that important to you :o)
