A female reader, Suri2000 United States +, writes (3 July 2008):

Well, try taking a break from sex for a while. That is one reason sex can make things so complicated: it can really make it hard to tell if you're really in love or not. So try going without for two weeks, and if you're still unsure, go a month. If you still want to be with her, it probably means there's more to your relationship than sex, and it might even be love. That's the best way to tell. It'll help both of you understand your feelings for each other better.

thats buncha crap just cause his questioned doesnt mean he doesnt love her.

he may have never experienced love so how will you know ?

mate just ask youself this, (just a senario) would you still be with her if you had to wait untill after marriage to have sex with her?

is she the one you wanna be with when your alone?

main one is does she make you happy ?

Sophia_Sweetheart agony auntHey

It seems to me like you're having a hard time figuring out if you really love her, and this suggests you don't. Do you enjoy her company when you're just cuddling or sharing interests, or just when you're having sex? Do you feel happy when you think of her? Do you respect her as a person with feelings and a heart? Before you begin to carry on with this girl, please have a think to yourself because hearts can be very easily broken. I'm certain you wouldn't want any harm to come to her.

Peterk5699 agony auntHave you just been having sex and not telling each other how you feel (Talking)?

or

Have you just been talking and had no sex or very little?

If yes to the 1st and no to the 2nd: You want her for sex

If no to the 1st and yes to the 2nd: You love her

If yes to both: You're steady

If no to both: You're not a match I'm afraid

Hope this helped.

Good luck!!

try just lying down next to her and holding her. youll find the answer to your question in the thougts that go through your head. for example, do you feel you want to do something more like sexually, or do you just want to hold her and not let her go anywhere?

the other way to test yourself, is to see how you feel when other guys talk to her, do you get jealous? or just possessive?

normally its pretty obvious when you love someone, but other stuff can cloud your judgement on your own feelings.

if all else fails, ask yourself this: can you spend a whole day with her without having to fill time with sex?

hope you find out. x

A female reader, Tisha-1 United States +, writes (16 June 2008):

Tisha-1 agony auntIf you find pleasure in her company, even though you won't be having sex with her.

If her well-being is more important to you than your own.

If you're willing to sacrifice to make her happy, or keep her safe, or allow her to do what she needs to do to make her life better.

If you think about her or consult with her before you make a life-altering decision.

It's not at all a bad thing to find someone you love sexually attractive, in fact, it's really a good thing. I think if you're asking the question, you do love her....

Imagine she was in a really bad car accident or had surgery and could not have sex for three months or six months. Would you do everything you could to keep her recovery going forward? Without looking for sex outside your relationship? Would you wait for her to get better and be healed and whole again?
