Sex On The First Date

Let’s be honest, if you’re going on a date, you do wonder if you’re going to be having sex by the end of the night. However, there is no hard and fast (pun intended) rule to this. Some people expect it and want it. Others think that sex is something that should be put on hold until you know each other better. Here’s our guide to help you through the ‘sex on the first date’ minefield!

1. No expectations.

If you go onto a date expecting that you’re going to have sex, then there’s a 50% chance that you will be left disappointed. Expect nothing but a pleasant evening in the company of your crush.

2. Test the waters.

Towards the end of the date, lean in for a kiss and see if your crush is receptive. If they pull away, then perhaps you’re moving to soon. Go for a peck on the cheek instead! If, however, they seem to enjoy the kiss, then you could see if they want to take things further.

3. R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

Whatever anyone says, if you have sex on a first date, it sets a precedent. Your crush may be under the impression that you often have sex on first dates, or that you are only interested in sex. In almost all circumstances, it’s preferential to wait to have sex until you are a little further into your relationship. This shows that you have respect for your crush, and for yourself.

4. Be safe.

If you do choose to have sex on a first date, then use protection, and avoid being drunk when you decide to have sex. This will only lead to uncomfortableness and confusion!

5. Relax.

When you do choose to have sex with your crush, relax. If you don’t feel entirely comfortable with the situation, then it’s possible that you are not ready to take this step yet.
