One thing should be considered right away, and that is that having sex is not proof of love! Certainly it is a critical component, but it doesn’t demonstrate it, and it does not make it more real. In other words, don’t trust those who pressure you, who shower you with gifts and then seek only to take you to bed! Love doesn’t blackmail. The person who loves will know how to be respectful and wait. Another important thing to consider is that you don’t hurt yourself or your boyfriend or girlfriend if there is mutual respect for each other’s nature. Hurt is caused when you trivialize or degrade the relationship, or if you choose not to choose and to let things go. But how do you know when the right time is? The answer is within you, if you’re not afraid to get involved, ask questions and make considerations. These are answers that only you can discover in your everyday choices, in the “yes” and “no” for which you assume responsibility. Love is a beautiful and serious thing that must be treated with respect; it is not exhausted by a physical relationship. When you are together you share a project; there are many things to discover and experience. In short, live the experience, because you don’t play with love, you live it.
