Lately guys have been interested in me. (I guess I'm finally getting out of my awkward stage and getting more settled with who I am) But it got me wondering what the appropriate physical boundaries would be. I am a Christian and I would like to wait until I'm married to have sex. That's basically all I have as boundaries and I haven't had to worry about it until now. I want to know how many dates I should go on before each should happen. I just need an idea to go by. Okay so for kissing, making out, and everything else but sex when should it happen? I started listing everything out but it sounded weird so just say it!!!

You'll know when the time is right. It's one of those gut feelings. Always trust those feelings! Kayleen and Cassandra are right, it's different for everyone, and there are no rules. :)

I'm a Christian, too, and I'm definitely going to wait until I'm married. Robin Jones Gunn is a Christian writer, and I think you should read some of her books, since she gives a good perspective on where the boundaries should be and how you can make those decisions for yourself. My boyfriend and I dated for about two weeks before we had our first kiss, and we were close friends for about a year before that. The thing to remember is that even though you may think you're strong enough to avoid temptation, when you're in the heat of the moment, you may convince yourself that going all the way is okay. I say to keep it to light kissing to not tempt yourself. Think of it this way; you're going to love your husband so much that you want to give him a complete gift, not a gift that has been unwrapped and rewrapped a couple of times, or one that's bow has been squashed or wrapping paper wrinkled.

It's all about what you are comfortable with. If at any time you feel things are going to fast or you feel like something just isn't right, put the breaks on. There really isn't a set in stone rule for how things should progress because its different for every girl. And if the date or boyfriend gets upset about it, he may not be the right one for you. Preserving your dignity, self respect and only doing what feels right to you on your timeline is priceless. You won't regret it.
