OK, posting her picture isn't exactly the most gentlemanly thing to do. I was just about to commend you for being one of the few people left in the world that cares to build a real relationship instead of rushing to fulfill temporary desires.
It's cropped obviously so you can only see her face and you cannot see her body. I did think it through and wanted to be a good CF poster but simultaneously be respectful. And obviously I will not say her name or any information about her that would be jeopardize her anonymity. Thank you for the nice words though. I appreciate the support.
Yup, you are a prude... as compared to every other red blooded American male. By 14 most of us driven by a raging desire that refuses to be denied by quaint romantic notions. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but the answer top your question is yes, you are a prude: A prude (Old French prude meaning honourable woman) [1] is a person who is described as (or would describe themselves as) being concerned with decorum or propriety, significantly in excess of normal prevailing community standards. They may be perceived as being more uncomfortable than most with sexuality or nudity.
Why do you have that standard length of time in waiting? instead of going with the flow, chemistry, and both mutual? You can still be a gentleman without having to wait that long, especially if your significant other doesn't. I can understand if you're looking for your future wife and don't want to make any mistakes, but is it really necessary to wait that long? Sometimes you have to take that risk to reassure you want that person in your future, because you also risk the competition coming in and giving that person what they want, that you aren't, just saying...
Your rules seem arbitrary to me, true emotion has no timetable. Putting deadlines on it all cheapens the emotion to me if anything , so I disagree with your premise gatsby.
Don't listen to the people telling you you're a prude for not having sex with everyone. Just show her real affection and be what you want to be to her. All this social posturing - ain't nobody got time for that.
Very beautiful lady. I respect your standards, but also ask yourself, if you know she's somewhat sad and the relationship feels like something missing, would you be willing to go beyond those set standards and make a move quicker than usual? Even if you generally decided to wait that long for every single woman that you dated, sometimes there's an exception, maybe it's her.
In my experience, women are fragile beings, and with some women, being that slow to make any sort of move makes them feel undesirable.
If you're a TROLL, congratulations for drawing me in. If NOT: You're probably very VAIN along with being a prude. Vain in an innocent way, but still vain. You probably simply like that you're liked. And like knowing you "can" get it and you're content that its "in hand". And thats SATISFACTION ENOUGH. But thats still the same as being prudeful and just flat out PROCRASTINATING. Here's whats gonna happen. That "meaning" and "moment" WILL NEVER COME. You'll hold out too long for a moment. Wait WAY too long - and get NOTHING out of things. And then you'll be in your 30's and fat and hair starting to thin, and regretful later. And wondered why you didnt slam the young fertile poon when it was available, thats all of a sudden not as available as it once was. And then you'll have some resentment built up about the "bros" and "douchebags" who seem to caveman their way to things ... Thats your future. Because you didnt dip it IN when it was there. Get up IN dem PANNIES 2-NITE, n***ga ...Quit STALLING (jk) But I'm serious that you'll regret it. Basically, your standards, shave 80% off that time allotment. It wont be rushed but its still "wait time". And you'll still get meaning and everything. Its okay that you're a gentleman, just don't say its gentlemanly when its really being too risk averse to a fault
^^^ What he's not thinking about is that the girl has needs too. 1.5 years with no sex? Not happening. She is getting it on the side, and by waiting so long you are taking the express lane into the friend zone.
