How long are you supposed to make a guy wait for sex when dating?

It's not a matter of "making" him wait for sex. Sexual intimacy is a matter of all involved feeling right and ready for it to happen, and is an agreement between all involved that it's something you all want to do. If you don't feel ready to have sex yet, either personally or in the time frame of the relationship, then don't have sex. If you feel ready but he does not then you'll just have to wait for him to feel ready for it. When the time comes that you both feel so ready you can't go another minute without making love to this person you're in love with then that's the time to do it. And sexual intimacy doesn't have to be intercourse; it can be any of the other pleasurable activities.

Of course there are a few of the "wait until marriage" responses. That is unrealistic to expect everyone to follow that policy and is based on personal opinion/belief. If one or both of you are of the belief that you should wait until marriage then by all means, wait. But if you both feel marriage is not necessary for sexual intimacy, or both feel no desire to ever get married, then there is no reason to wait for it. The only waiting should be for when you are both fully ready for it.

If you haven't already, you two need to open up the lines of communication and talk very openly and honestly about your mutual thoughts and feelings about sex and everything else. Talk and listen to each other about how you each feel about sexual intimacy and gain some mutual understanding. It's not that you have to schedule a time to have sex, but if you both know that the other is ready for it then the next time you're together and the mood is right, neither of you has to hold back. (Be sure to be proactive about birth control if you're not ready to have kids, and I would also recommend you both get an STD screening to have the proof you are both clean for unprotected sex and so can have peace of mind when intimacy does happen.)

As long as is right for you. But you've gotta communicate -- 2 and a half months is a pretty damn long time to wait for sex if you're not interested in a truly committed relationship. If all he wants is sex there's no point in wasting time getting to know each other, if you don't want sex.

Sometimes, letting go seems like the easiest thing to do. But think about this: you've invested so much of your time and energy into another person; you've made a solemn promise; and you still know there's love, even if it's hiding underneath the surface.

Wait as long as you believe. Personally I want to wait untill im married. Statistics show that relationships last longer if you wait untill you are married. Dont be considered "easy" he will leave soon after if thats what he thinks you are. Sorry and hope it goes well xoxo

As long as it feels right, if its one month or 12 months it is entirely your choice! If he truly cares and respects you he would wait so ignore Gary's comment!

I beleive in destiny but I still think you have to fight to save your marriage. Especially if you have children.

Depends on when you are ready. Me and my current boyfriend waited 7 months, but i have issues.

Until you are ready to marry him. Is he the one you want to spend your life with? Having sex won't help you find that out, it actually makes it harder to find out.

Till he proposes to marry you.

as long as you don't care hes laying down with someone else.
