So I've went through hell to escape the dreaded friend zone, and it's safe to say I'm in a good place. Though my friend and I have taken it a bit far at first(far as in physical actions) we decided we are definitely more than just friends but she claims that we're not officially dating. Which I am totally fine with. I enjoy our time together and think a constrained relationship this early of knowing each other is detrimental to a future together. In fact, we were EXTREMELY(both naked,condom on and ready to ride) close to losing both our virginity's in the back seat of my car. I stopped multiple times to ask her if she was ok with it. She said let's just do it. But she looked a bit nervous and distressed. I was assuming was forcing herself to please me. We were both in the moment. I on the other hand didn't care as much because we were both caught up in fooling around. But I stopped us short and said it would be better if we waited. Because let's face it, having your first time in the car isn't the classiest of locations.
Would girls appreciate this? Or would the ladies find me to be the nice guy or not "man enough"? I'm afraid some other guy will make a move on her and take her virginity. She told me she thought about losing it with me, specifically. Sure it's flattering and I'm assuming she cares for me too. However, I'm very thick-headed and I'm still not sure how she feels about me as a friend rather than sexual partner. How important is virginity to girls? If she claims to have put thought into losing it with me, that's a good thing right?
But on the other hand, it sort of scares me that she would put out this easily. Of-course I love the fun and games, but I do care for her. And I would like to see where this goes. What am I to expect? Would it be fair to say she would do this sort of thing with any other guy? She claims that this(with me) was the furthest she's ever gone with a guy and anything in the past was done and long gone. But somehow it's not very comforting. I would love it if we had a relationship but not if it is dependent upon sex. We both find each other extremely attractive and the sexual tension is very high every time we're together with others.
What's the next step? I don't want to keep thinking she'll go for any other guy. But I think that is a trust issue solely on my half of the court based on recent events. Is it not?
Any input, advice, predictions would be HIGHLY appreciated.
Thanks again LF
