I really connected with someone and we ended up sleeping together on the third date. It felt right in the moment, but now I’m worried we skipped important steps. Does having sex early on actually ruin the chance for a deeper relationship, or is that just an old-fashioned idea?
The real test isn’t when you have sex, it’s what happens after. If he’s a decent guy, the timeline won’t matter; if he’s not, you’ll find out soon enough. Pay attention to his actions now, not your anxiety.
