hi, im 17/f and currently seeing this guy max who is only a few months older. We are both VERY mature for are age. ive been seeing him for 6 months now, and ive never been this comfortable around anyone, including my best friend. I can be completely myself and we just get on so well.
things you should know before i get to my question:
so basically i live with my mum after a physical abuse from my father. im not a virgin, after a 3 year relationship with my ex and either is max. And also me and max arent dating, although we are exclusive like dating without the lable (max has depression and he doesnt want to hurt me- he thinks i deserve better. he is taking medication and once he feels stable and has both feet on the ground he wants me to be his gf cause he can see this lasting ). Me and max have had sex once.
I have recently told him i don't want to have sex with him again ( not like never, just not at the moment, i just want to wait till we are a couple) he understands.
i REALLY like this guy, but im scared how long am i going to be waiting for? i'm not going anywhere anytime soon, but there is always the risk of someone getting hurt. its bound to happen sometime. i've been through it before i know what its like and i want to help him, but he is a very reserved person. seeing my friends with their boyfriends shatter me, although we do all the same things.. when someone asks me if i have a boyfriend i want to be able to say yes.
another thing is although i dont want sex, we hooked up the other night just kissing and touching extra, max tried to start it off.. i told him no and he said sorry and layed down next to me.. do you think im doing the wrong thing since we already did it? i like him so much but i dont want to confuse the situation more with sex.
sorry for being so long.. any advice will help boys and girls opinions would help :) thankyou
