6 Reasons Why Girls Make Guys Wait for Sex

One the great Female Mysteries is why we make you wait for sex. Here’s a list of the possible reasons:
1. We’re not sure you’re worth it yet.
You’re iffy. We’re honestly not sure if we want to keep you around and we know that as soon as you tap it, you’ll want to keep us. The last thing we need is an abandoned puppy begging for sex.
2. We’re at a vital number in our sexual career.
When I first became sexually active, I set a limit for myself. I was going to find my husband by the time I got to sex partner #5. I was really picky when it came to deciding who would be #5. Then he turned out to be a total ass and dumped me for a floozy at his work. So I said, “Well, ten is a nice number.” I picked much better for #10, but ended up dumping him after a year. Now, well, here’s hoping I find the one by 15.
3. We’re currently being visited by Aunt Flo.
Also known as the monthly visitor, Aunt Flo makes us feel bloated, dirty (in a bad way), and just plain unsexy. I like to refer to that time of the month as The Communist Invasion. (There’s a Red Party in my pants. Get it?) Anyway, we may be pushing you away because we’d rather not paint the town red on our first romp.
4. We have another iron in the fire.
Did you think we were just dating you? Oh, sorry. We didn’t have the exclusivity talk yet, so we assumed the game was still on. We like you enough to keep dating you, but honestly, we’re not sure if we want to bonk you or that other guy. It’s your brother? Wow, we knew you looked alike…
5. We’re not actually dating.
Are you sure we’re dating and not just cuddle buddies? Be sure you’re on the right ladder before you assume that we’re going to bump uglies ever. We really thought you knew that we were just friends! Friends that spend lots of time together… oh, and that occasionally buy dinner for each other. (Okay, you always pay.) The snuggling? We do that with all our friends.
6. We’re going to dump you.
Sorry, but we’ve pretty much decided that you aren’t worth our time anymore. There just hasn’t been a good time to tell you yet. Yep, we’re totally aware that we’ve seen each other nearly every day for the past few weeks. Yep, totally aware that you’ve probably dropped a few hundred dollars on food and activities. Yep, totally aware that you’re falling harder for us every time we meet. But we had to fully test drive you as a boyfriend before deciding if we wanted to commit for the long haul, and you just aren’t working out. We’ll tell you – eventually.
…of course, there are tons of other reasons why your girl of choice is making you wait for sex. But instead of asking us, why don’t you ask her?

7. We like you, but it hasn’t been that long, so we’re not sure how you feel yet about this going anywhere. And its way too soon for “the talk”. So we are going to be super bummed & feel very rejected if after we sleep with you, you dissapear into the night never to be heard from again. As is your right after only a couple of dates. Well, not the ‘into the night’ part, thats just in poor taste, at least wait until the next morning.
8. We’ve had it ground into our heads that we’re supposed to make you wait, I think a lot for said reason above. And the whole buying the cow/free milk thing.
So, I totally don’t get the “buying the cow/free milk” thing. Someone please explain
And how long is the amount of time you wait? Does it have to be a set time, or is it just until “it feels right”? I can see the argument both ways.
The milk is sex. No one wants a cow (the relationship), because cows are way too much responsibility. But everyone wants milk! Milk is awesome. No one ever turns down milk.
This analogy assumes that men are the only ones who enjoy sex. It also has to do with running across too many jerks who lead women on, meaning, we ladies assume sex is a committal step in the relationship and sometimes men don’t see it that way.
There’s no set amount of time to wait…I think the timing is more related to what objectives both people have in the relationship, how willing they both are to take a risk, and how well they understand what’s going on in the other person’s mind, combined with their previous experiences (baggage!).
Riggs- this used to be Lorien and my fave Saturday afternoon movie. Of course, getting the milk for free in this case was about living together and not getting married. But it’s still pretty similar.
