Should I Loose My Virginity To My Boyfriend When He Has Not Said I Love You Yet?

[SilverSmith]

I am 18 and have never been in a serious relationship before.
My boyfriend and i have been dating for 3 months we almost had sex but i stopped it because i alway told my self i would loose my virginity to someone who would say i love you before hand and mean it.
I know he loves me because he told my friend he does and i saw the conversation between the two of them.
Should i wait until he says i love you?

Honestly I would wait a bit longer than that

Have you thought of a nunnery ?

12 weeks isn't that long, really. Wait until you're ready.

If you know he loves you, why do you need to actually hear them said? Not everybody is good at putting their feelings into words.

That being said, if you're basing the worth of your virginity on some words, I'd personally say that you don't appear mature enough for sex and all that it entails.

Only you will know when it's the right time, SilverSmith.

Like Boo said, you will know when its right, you don't need words for that!!

I am so old I cant remember if I agonised over this at the age of 18

[Peter Pedant]

Good idea to put this question on a public forum tho

[Old_Geezer]

I have to concur with B00. No wonder it got Best Answer as I can't see advice being put better. Opt to be sexually active when you feel the time is right and you are with the right person, not because you think you are old enough and should, so because someone smooth talking guy (or not) has entranced you.

If you wait until a man says I love you and you absolutely know he means it you will remain a virgin for ever. As said, nothing to do with words, it's how you feel about yourself, him and whether you think the relationship will progress.
