How long should someone wait before sleeping with someone?

It's really a personal choice based on your personal standards and what you are looking for.

When I first started having sex my standard was only someone that I was starting to date and looking to see if it would work long term. This usually resulted in sex within a few days after our 1st date after we decided to continue dating (typically 2nd, 3rd or 4th date and a few longer than that).

After a few years I revised my standards to not just dating and looking to see if it would work long term to actually being good friends first, with real caring and emotional support, and having compatible plans for the future. That typically took 3 - 6 weeks to develop when I was younger.

Once well into adulthood, and after my initial dating partners did not work out... combined with both any prospective partner and myself having been burned a few times... and thus more cautious. I found that 1-3 months was more typical after the 1st date to ensure that we really had a solid friendship and mutual interest and long term plans (and in the past couple decades joint STD testing prior to sex).

Now, in all cases that did not mean that we did not cuddle and and play with each other with our underwear on. We just did not progress to full sex until everything else lined up solid and we knew there were no STD issues.

In the case of my wife (from Ukraine). We had a 4 month email and Skype relationship before we met in real life. Once we both verified that we were the person that they expected (our internet relationship presented our real self; and not some facade); then things progressed quickly after that.

I suggest that you think about what you want your standards to be... and what you are looking for from a sexual partner (just fun, more than that, etc.), read the various responses to this thread, and also other sites on what to look for in a long term mate. Then revise your standards if necessary and as appropriate to yourself.

I wish you well with this,

3 months for me so you're normal. It's getting to know the person first then we can be intimate and take it to the next level.

my historical high & low limits are 35 seconds and 3 years

I would say whenever it feels right.

2 months is insane,I Would have already had a life with them. 2 hours or 2 weeks if she's incredible

I think it's just something that u do when u feel it's right. It could be the first date like it could take a month

The shortest period for me to have sex after meeting someone was about 15 minutes, life is short enjoy it

First date or good bye.

I'm not even trying to think ou f dating anyone, but I suppose my general rule would be to wait about three months.

I suggest losing any senseless time rules and base your actions on the relationship, not the calendar. Or clock.

It's usually good to wait until after saying hello.
