What time is the right time?

So my girls and I were having a little debate (what's new right?) and we began to discuss what time is the "right time" to go all the way with a guy. Now as juvenile as this may sound, it was very interesting to see the different reactions and opinions everyone had regarding the issue. Some believed that if the 'feeling' was there and it all seemed right after the first date that there was no big deal while others gawked at the one making this argument, voicing that the first date was much too soon for the home run. It's so funny to see how we all have these different ideas so I can only imagine how the guys are thinking and what they expect of a woman in a specific amount of time. We all came to the conclusion that there is no "right" time, and the real "right" time is when you feel ready.

I was thinking about it and of course with different people, one may have different desires, but the best way to make sure that none of this confusion penetrates the relationship (no pun intended) is to lay it all out on the table. When entering a new situation, the most important thing in my eyes is to be up front and honest, because whatever you start with is what you will have to maintain throughout the relationship to avoid any misunderstandings and potential trouble. This is what I think is the best bet in this area of dating...and any other area for that matter. Honesty is the best policy and if you can't be totally honest, do your best to voice what you expect, like, dislike and will not tolerate. Believe me....it's better that way!

So next time you meet someone don't hesitate when the convo takes this turn:
"Hi, my name is Jessica. Nice to meet you...does date number ___ work for you?"

Lol, no but really...put it out there. I think it's more beneficial in the long run.
