Bwahahaha! Was that inentional?
All the power to you, Sky. I wish you and your girlfriend luck. Sounds like you two are feeling some awesome emotions for each other!
This is why I like Green Bean so much. What archery, go girl!
Substitute an Al Green tape for JR and you’re on, pal!
Best of luck with your little experiment, Sky. As for me, Early & Often!!!
I just wanted to say good for you but waiting is not it is cracked up to be be. Piece of advice Don’t make a pact not too have sex. just try to conrol yourself and not do it on an urge. Wait til the right time!
…doing it on an urge…what a great line…
I made a pact not to sleep with your girlfriend either!

Well… yeah. But once you find out it does, then what? 
Kidding… Just kidding.
There are people who have sex early in the relatioship & they wonder what its like to wait to have sex in a relationship & there are people who wait to have sex in a relationship who wonder what it would be like to have sex early in a relationship.
Once you got the basics figured out, Saint, then it’s “repeat, often and energetically”.
Hey, SS! You gonna bring her around and introduce her to all us Straight Dopers?
And here a couple of weeks ago you were wooing Palmyra.

well… I didnt give a damn about virginity… just lost it when I felt like it and had a condom at hand… and sex didnt ruin the relationship - that I had to go home (by train: 22 hours spent on trains and stations… yuck) did ruin it.
Confused? You are not the only one
It is kind of a cool idea… I will prolly never have that idea… but it is kind of cool.
Keep us informed… there will be several bets you know…
Okay… I ll say 3 weeks. I think he is strong… he ll make it three weeks…

Sky, I’m so glad for you, that you’ve found each other, and that you’ve decided to not rush into a physical relationship. I don’t have time right now to copy all of the quotes, so I’ll just say I agree with Medea’s Child, Lucretia, Silo, and Welfy, and most of what Saint Zero, ExTank, and Tazzy said.
And, Chief, you really crack me up!
OK…first real test we passed with flying colors
Last night I went to a bar with her parents after work and ended up back at their place drinking with dad and talking about lots of everything. We both got pretty drunk and Jess finally got home from work around 10pm. Her parenst went off to bed and Jess and I talked for a good hour or two while I had another couple drinks and then it was time for goodnights and goodbyes because she had an early meeting today.
As we walked towards the front of the house, I stumbled a few times and did a sad job of pretending I was sober. She asked if I was ok to drive, and I said, well…maybe in a bit. She took my keys and said no…you’re staying here tonight. Then I went and collapsed on the couch for a few while she retreated upstairs. She set up one of the guest rooms for me and came down to drag me up there after a bit.
She walked me in and sat down with me on the bed and we talked for awhile. As things do we moved closer and at some point got to kissing. I realized where this was headed and sat back and looked her in the eyes. I said…you should probably get to sleep now. She looked around and said, well I probably cant sleep in here…and I replied, “This I know”, goodnight.
Kissed her once more, and sent on her safe and respected way to bed.
I did that drunk…it should be easy sober. You have no idea how weird it was though this morning when I went downstairs to the uneasy smiles of her parents. I scooped up the keys, dropped a few good mornings and headed off for home.
Life…lol…what a trip!

Been there some years ago in a very similar situation. Ie mutual pact … be good etc.
No to paraphrase twistofate… but come on! Nothing drives a normal, loving, hot blooded woman crazier (in both the good and bad ways) than a man being “good” re an abstinence pact.
Regardless of what you are "lovingly, sincerely, meaningfully etc. etc. telling each other, she obviously wants you to “get busy” - ie her making the decision to get into bed and horse around with a drunk boyfriend in her parent’s house … you sincerely think you are going to withstand the next salvo next time she’s “in the mood”.
Regardless of what she is professing in her desire to be careful, reject her overtures (obvious or subtle) once or twice more and the huge “respect” she feels for you is going to turn to … well something else that is much less pleasant. Yeah it’s not fair or just but that’s the way people are wired.
