He asked me these questions in Facebook messages. Shall I show them?

Your post was confusing, so I assumed the worst. I apologize.

You are currently 23, so as much as it pains me to say this most guys our age (im 23 as well) expect to have sex within 1-2 months of hanging out and developing the relationship. Why not just keep hanging out? Just keep doing what you are comfortable with and if he sticks around good...if not then it wasn't meant to be.


Expecting sex out of women is chauvinistic, and disrespectful. If a lady wants to wait for anything to do with private matters, you let her take her time, that is a given. You are not helping by trying to get this guy to stay close to someone he shows no respect for, sounds like you just want her to have sex with him because he is another dateless guy like yourself. Let me tell you, just because you are dateless, and have not had sex yet doesn't mean you have to be an instigator.

I myself have not been completely pure, so to speak, but I've never had sex, and don't expect that out of ladies who want to date me. The best things in life are not easy, and may also be worth waiting for.


First of all I don't know anybody involved in this situation. 2nd, it seems like she likes the guy so lay off dude. If you ask normal people who date, than if a couple has been dating for usually a month or 2 for adults than sexy time is expected. You don't date someone for that long if you don't like them for some reason. And please don't say stuff about me that you have no idea about and try to bring me down to your level of being unsuccessful with the opposite sex. I don't know why you would try to attack me for no reason. Perhaps other women can weigh in on this.


19 is an adult age. I am less than 4 years away from 23 years of age, so don't call me dude or say 'for adults'. The only reason women usually compliment me on this when they know I am feeling down is they know I won't coerce them into having sex. I am not unsuccessful mr. casanova, I have taken things too fast myself, and felt mighty sh***y about it later, don't act like I have no experience. I didn't attack you for no reason, nor was the attack without merit. I could care less about anyone who thinks sex is a given at that age, that goes for women too, it is a hurtful generalization. I'm not trying to bring you down, I'm trying to tell you who you are pushing down in expecting such ludicrous things from people. Sexy time expected, what a bunch of the biggest hyped up bull crap I've ever heard in my entire life that is.
In fact I don't resent you, I resent and attack your assumptions.


Tell me why I should bother responding to this?


Because I am a freak because I don't expect sex from women when only dating?

So part of the message on Facebook went like this. He started out by asking about how far would I go if we made out and I was telling him that I didn't want to go as far as sex. So then the message goes on from there..

10:20am
Him
The same.
I just wanted to see how you would answer. ^^
I mean, if you wanted to, I'd sleep with you, but just snuggling.

10:20am
Me
Do you believe that going as far as sex is wrong?

10:21am
Him
Yeah, I don't want sex before I'm married.

10:21am
Me
Okay, because I just wanted to see if we both thought the same.

10:22am
Him
Though, I have a feeling if we started making out, things could get out of hand quickly.

10:22am
Me
Really?

10:22am
Him
Yeah.
You're... really attracted to me, right?

10:23am
Me
Yes, I can't deny that I still feel that way..

10:23am
Him
Mhm.
So, just saying, if we did start kissing... yeah.

10:24am
Me
You're really attracted to me too right?

10:24am
Him
I am.

10:24am
Me
So you think that the kissing would end up going further?

10:24am
Him
I do.
I think we're both so into each other, we'd end up having sex.

10:25am
Me
But we could try not to.

10:26am
Him
Yeah, but we wouldn't be thinking straight.
You know how things get when people make out.

10:27am
Me
I could already imagine my feelings and thoughts to that if it was really happening though.

10:27am
Him
How would you react?

10:29am
Me
There would just be so many sparks there I imagine and I know that we would really feel something.

10:30am
Him
You'd probably want me to take my shirt off. ^^

10:30am
Me
You should keep it on so nothing happens.
As long as you don't take your clothes off everything should be fine.

10:32am
Him
Nah just the shirt shouldn't do any harm.
Besides, I don't sleep with a shirt on.

10:33am
Me
That's kind of a start to things.

10:34am
Him
I get hot!

10:34am
Me
For no reason should I be in the bed with you either.

10:35am
Him
Sorry...

10:36am
Me
I really don't think its nice if you're not married to the person or if you're attracted to the person.
My mom and everyone would be so ashamed of me.

10:37am
Him
I'm so sorry.

10:37am
Me
You really are starting to get extreme thoughts about me now aren't you?

10:38am
Him
No!
I just want to make sure we're clear on where we stand with certain things.

10:39am
Me
I mean I guess its normal if you do, but don't get so carried away with your thoughts like that because it really isn't nice or appropriate.

10:40am
Him
I don't think I was getting carried away.

10:41am
Me
Because you actually mentioned the term sex so you were definitely thinking something.

10:42am
Him
I don't want sex with you
I told you, I asked because I didn't know what YOU wanted.
I didn't want things to be awkward between us.

10:42am
Me
Oh okay.
But why were you saying that kissing would probably lead to sex?
Was it because you didn't think you would be able to control yourself?

10:44am
Him
Actually, I was thinking that about you.
^^

10:45am
Me
And you would let me go out of control?

10:45am
Him
No I wouldn't.
I'd tell you to slow down.

10:46am
Me
I wouldn't ever get like that. I was just wondering what you would do IF that happened.

10:46am
Him
I'd tell you to calm down, like I always do. ^^

10:48am
Me
I really admired you for that you weren't that type of guy to go that far.

10:48am
Him
I wouldn't.
I hope I haven't loss your respect.

10:49am
Me
I mean I was trusting that you would be the type of guy that I could trust not to rape me like a lot of other guys are that girls shouldn't trust and I've always been careful about that.

10:51am
Him
I would never, ever, do that to you.

10:52am
Me
I could tell by how you look and the way you talk that maybe you wouldn't be that way.

10:53am
Him
Do you still trust me?

10:53am
Me
I think so.

10:55am
Him
Are you sure?
You don't sound so confident.

10:56am
Me
I was just surprised by the way you talked to me at first that's all, but I do trust you. At least more then other guys I've spoken to about these kind of things.

10:57am
Him
How did I talk to you at first?

10:58am
Me
Just especially when you said "Though, I have a feeling if we started making out, things could get out of hand quickly." And "I think we're both so into each other, we'd end up having sex"
That's all.

11:01am
Him
That was based on how you would react, not me.

11:01am
Me
Sure you're not lying?

11:02am
Him
The fact that you have to ask hurts me.

11:02am
Me
I just want you to be honest with me even if its something I don't wanna hear.

11:02am
Him
I am being honest.
But you're over-reacting.

Then I started talking about how so many guys have treated and done me wrong, lying to me and all. So here's another part of the message.

11:07am
Him
If we can't trust each other, it's not going to work...

11:07am
Me
I do trust you more then anyone else.

11:08am
Him
I'm not so sure about you right now..

11:09am
Me
Why not?

11:10am
Him
Just your lack of trust in me earlier.
I'm hurting from that.

11:10am
Me
Its just how I've always been with everyone. I always act like that. Doesn't mean I don't trust you.
I've just always been careful and maybe too careful.

11:11am
Him
Yeah, I guess...

11:13am
Me
No, ones ever gonna wanna be with me if I always act like this. It always happens every time with each and every guy and they always get the wrong idea.

11:13am
Him
Mhm.

11:14am
Me
What part of what I said are you agreeing to?

11:15am
Him
That you over-react too much and it drives guys away.

So was I really the one in the wrong here? Maybe I overreacted too much. Is it because of Autism? Why can't I control it? I'm afraid he's never going to talk to me again.

He is trying to take advantage, I'll tell you that.

He speaks like a conman.

Off course it can, why else do you see all these topics by women that have problems with their autistic partner. Duh

I'm sorry that this guy did this to you. Don't ever give up on finding someone. Maybe he just isn't the one for you, maybe you are meant to be with someone else. That was crappy what he did to you.

I definitely believe it may cause a lot of issues in a relationship, but it may also be beneficial in some ways. I think the good outweighs the bad.

Yes, he's feigning emotional distress and pain and I see he is successfully making you feel bad about it.
