Today I went out with the same girl from my last FR date.
For the people that didnt read that heres the gist:
- We were talking about experiences & sex was brought up
- She said she’s a strong Christian and “doesn’t have sex” because she wants to resist her flesh (she has 1 body from a previous boyfriend)
- Instead of reframing like I should have I changed topics
- The first 2 dates went phenomenal otherwise
I could tell by her subsequent behavior on her second date (and she the fact that denied a home movie date for date 2) that reframing sex at that time was crucial.
My goal on this date #3 today was to do my best to bring that topic back up and reframing it.
Which I did.
Heres how it went:
Me: (mid deep dive)… so yeah, the girl I’m with has to satisfy me fully, especially sexually, for me to really consider her
Her: What do you mean especially sexually? Do you think sex is necessary for a relationship
Me: I think sex is definitely necessary for it to be real. Sexual compatibility is important.
Her: I agree. But it cant be everything
Me: Of course it should be built on connection and trust, but I feel sex is really what locks it in.
Me: For example, imagine you’re in a relationship with a guy and y’all are having sex, but you’re not feeling it anymore. Whats the first thing you stop doing?
Her: I stop having sex
Me: Exactly. So the same way lack of sex can break two people up, sex can bring two people together. Sex is fun and all but its really the amplification of the connection between two people that makes it so beautiful.
Her: I completely agree that a relationship requires intimacy. I’m all for satisfying my man in all sorts of ways. I just don’t think we’d have to go all the way especially since God frowns upon it. I cant knowingly sin.
Me: Haven’t you had sex already?
Her: Yes.
Me: So how do you think God views that? You think he just hates you now.
Her: No, of course not. I don’t regret it either. But God loves me, but hates sin. I just cant do that to Him.
Her: (Getting emotional) Especially since I know he doesn’t like it. Its like stabbing him in the back over and over. Its literally hurting him. I cant do that to him again.
Her: (She’s trying to hide tears as she says this) Even if my flesh won and I had sex with you by any chance, I would just be so devastated because I knew what I was doing and still did it. It’s like I just hurt him again without thinking.
Me: So why’d you have sex the first time?
Her: I was kind of persuaded. I still take full responsibility for my actions though… but he made me feel like I was the only one and we were going to get married. But then I got a call at 5am while he was next to me from his “other girlfriend” and she showed me videos.
Me: Wow. Some people you really cant trust for shit.
Me: You definitely look like you made it out stronger.
Her: Yeah it really developed my character. I’m 100% healed, glad it happened so I could learn. I don’t regret it, but its for that reason why I feel like God saved sex for marriage.
Me: What even is marriage though? You think God cares about the little white dress and the contract you sign at the courthouse? Adam and Eve never had that.
Her: I think sex is marriage in a sense. Thats Gods contract.
Me: I see. I personally think its not as black and white as that, and I think God just loves it when two people who genuinely want each other come together. Everyone’s but as long as we keep to the basic tenants
Her: Yeah, maybe.
Me : *switches topics*
After this conversation the vibe was 2x more sexual. She even said she’s moving into her dorm Wednesday and her parents wont be there for too long. I think I’m close to the lay.
Shes in good contention for being a GF, I still have to vet her more though.
Only thing is, I don’t want to hurt her at all. I definitely will keep her around but its obvious the sex thing will give her a huge wave of cognitive dissonance even if she enjoys it in the moment.
Plus I know LMR will probably be huge.
