yes... you seem so smart but i have a question. I recently had a friend who was engaged and he was her first and only. She decided she needed a break before they go married just so she had no regrets. My gf was also a virgin before me and I told this to her and then suggested that she hook up with someone so as to avoid any regrets later in life and any resent towards me. bad idea?

A day late and a dollar short...
This is the purpose of dating.
Dating should not begin and end with the first warm body who expresses an interest in us. Dating is about learning and learning from a lot of different people in order to decide what characteristics, likes, dislikes, values, morals, goals, personalities, people have so that when Mr./Ms. Right does come along we will be better prepared to recognize him or her--and then know what we want in a person. This is different from the first scenario and then learning months into a relationship, perhaps becoming engaged, that s/he is not the one for me, or, as you are suggesting she might do, to sample someone else just to make certain. Bad idea, that. If one or the other of you are not absolutely positively certain your partner is right for you, then you should return to dating, not sidestepping the existing relationship. If or when you return to dating, then you can continue to date this current love interest or not. > I told this to her and then suggested that she hook up with someone so as to avoid any regrets later in life and any resent towards me. bad idea? This is putting the cart before the horse. The two of you and all others with whom the two of you meet should have been dating properly, all before the two of you met; then, there would be no need to endanger the relationship or perhaps even end it because she found someone else. Of course, I suppose ending things now is better than being married with two kids and heading for divorce court in a few years. Regrets? The two of you should read the article on differences in levels of experience listed in the Index as food for thought. I hope this is of help. Got questions? |

thats what I was thinking, I don't know I guess I was just concerned that she was mixing up her feelings for me... love and lust that is. |

Well, if you two had DATED instead of doing this hearts & flowers routine you wouldn't be "suggesting" anything because BOTH of you would be secure in your relationship and would KNOW if this was love or lust.
Please. Call the whole thing off and sort your lives out. Then you two can think about getting back together. BTW by even "suggesting" that she go 'hook up' with someone else you are giving her permission to do so. Or this is a test of her loyalty on your part which makes you a cad and unworthy of her regard. So which is it, buddy? Are you a cad? |

we did date. I know it's love for me... but for her I was thinking that she might have fallen for the common illusion that the attachment you feel for your first is love... she was still inexperienced. and i don't want her to have any regrets later especially since it is a long distance relationship. And no I would never test her or anything like that, I am fine with her seeing other people as long as her emotions don't change for me.

I suppose, but in order for a relationship to work both people do need to be ok with everything, but I am not being a douche about it and being like you may now hook up with someone... I communicated with her and told her what I am comfortable with.
