As a public service, I'd like to offer some simple dating advice so you don't fall into the same trap I did.

Sometimes people talk theoretically about sex. Like, you'll be on a date, and you'll finish a wonderful dinner, and the guy will lean over close and start to fantasize about the next step in your relationship. Maybe he'll want to paint a mental picture in his head of what sleeping with you would be like.

This is a good opportunity for you to reinforce that yes, you'll be everything he desires and more. It isn't a time to iron out the give-and-take of what's going to happen in the sack.

For instance, if he asks, "When you and I eventually fall into bed, will it be fabulous?" don't answer, "Oh, absolutely. Will you still be wearing those sweet white socks?"
