Sincere??
Posted: 08-30-03 17:10pm

I know im ready to have sex and I want to but I dont know my boyfriends 19 im 15 he's a virgin and so am i. We've been going out for about four months and he asked me about sex about a month ago and I said I wasnt ready he said that would be fine and he would wait as long as I wanted him to because he was in no hurry and he wasnt going to pressure me into it.. A few days ago I asked him about it again and asked him about the possibility of me getting pregnant because I would have rather had us talk about it then just have it happen then be totally lost as to how to bring it up... He sounded sincere when he told me that he would stick around if that happened and I want to believe him but I dont know if I should considering all the other guys I know that left thier girlfriends after they got pregnant... Sincere or not?
Input??
I would rather lose my virginity to him than anyone else and I believe I really love him and he treats me very well, he even takes care of me when I dont feel well on those monthly weeks Smile

Wait till you get married!! Please, you are still in high school. At this point you still have your whole life ahead of you. Who says you will even marry this guy? If he is the one, why not save yourself for him? Keep yourself pure!

You may think you are ready for sex, but you really aren't. It will just cause problems in the relationship. _trust me_ on that one!!

Hope you make the right decision!

Ok, that's the thing, sex isnt for everyone! Though it seems fun and all, but sometimes it is not the best thing to do for pleasure!

Do you think he loves you?! You sure u love him? I know that u probably think that "of course I dont know for sure, that's why I am asking" and I think that if u are unsure about anything, then u shouldnt do it.

If u think u are absolutely ready for sex, and u want to bare all those responsibilities that might come with it, then ok, I cant tell u no.

Of course that u cant trust every guy to stick around, that's why if you depend on that, u fail automatically. Do not depend on people for ur own life. But also, not all guys leave their gfs...

Make the decision that u feel good about.

Sincere Or Not..?

Hey, you don't know if he is sincere or not...Maybe that should be a clue. If you're worried that he might leave isn't that reason enough to avoid bringing a child into the world. Even if you arent planning on a child, the chance is there if you have sex. You may even want to check your states statuatory rape laws. Youre not 16 which is the typical age for consent, so chances are if he did have sex with you, it would be illegal. If you got pregnant, he could be looking at jail time. I don't claim to be wiser, but I am older, don't have sex with anyone unless you are absolutely sure that they would share responsibility in the outcome (baby, std. Etc.). Also, its great that you are seeking advice, but you need to live your own life, part of growing up is deciding whats best for you as a person, no one here will be there to hold your hand or share responsibility for the outcome...You will be the one that has to deal with it. If you have gathered nothing else from my post hopefully you will pick up on this...Wait! Wait! Wait! Good luck to you.

Babygirl,

it sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders by telling your boyfriend that you were not ready. I applaud you for that. He said he will wait, so make him wait until you are ready. And I also think it is great that you are aware of the consequences, and that you want to talk about the possibility of pregnancy. Now, only you yourself will be able to tell if your boyfriend is sincere or not. No one here on the message board can tell you. You know him, you know what he is like and stuff. If you are unsure, then you are not ready. Talk about it more with him, and tell him that you are unsure if he is sincere or not. What are his plans for the future? What are yours? How can a baby fit into this, realistically...Who will sacrifice school? Who will get a job? I think you are on the right track, and that you know you want to lose your virginity to your boyfriend....But if he truly loves you, he will wait until you are 110% ready - and comfortable. If he doesn't wait, or starts bugging you to do it...Then you have your answer as to whether or not he's sincere.

Good luck! You are a smart girl!
