The realtionship is taking a turn towards sex. I'm a little rusty with the relationship thing. Is it too soon to think about this?

My wife and I have been together for 28 years now, but when we were dating 25 to 30 years ago after our divorces, sleeping together on the first date or second date was common. I liked waiting until the second date, but most women wanted sex on the first date. The ones who I remember the most were the 2 who followed my lead of the second date. My wife was one of those. My wife does wish that she had not allowed herself to sleep with some men on the first date, but we are both glad that we did have a few partners instead of just one. It helped us know that each other is the best that we think that we could have found. Do whatever you want to do, just be safe and happy.

Go with the flow, as it were. You'll soon get rid of the rust and get back into the swing of things. I'm surprised you've waited as long as this! 2nd date seems to be the norm these days!

For those who read my posts you know what a sarcastic ass i am. however i actually have to say i find this post rather sweet and touching.
Its nice to think that romance isn't dead.
to coin a phrase, its like riding a bike. riding being a key word.
the big question is, Do YOU feel its too soon? do you want to talk it slow with him or are you crawling out of your skin and juts want to jump his bones?
theres no rules written in stone as to how this is to happen, if you feel its right. then hey go for it. you only live once. if not.. then see how it goes you have a life time to work on it.
