6. You have sex before you’re ready.
Is it enough to feel ready? Does it need to be planned? We’ve all heard people say, “I wish I had waited til’ we knew each other better.”
If you have found yourself listening only to your sexual impulses, and you want to break the cycle, make an agreement with yourself (or with an accountability partner) about when in a relationship you are willing to consider being sexual.
One common dating mistake is being sexual for the wrong reasons — because your friends are, because you’re tired of celibacy, because you’re afraid you’ll lose him if you don’t, because you think she expects you to.
Better reasons? You know and love each other or have made a commitment. Read Joy Brown’s “Why They Don’t Call When They Say They Will And Other Mixed Signals”. There are many articles on all aspects of relationships at Yourtango.
