Huh. Well. I think a lot of that is asking questions, so you know how your partner feels about things. If she wants to sleep with you and you want to sleep with her--or him, if you swing that way--and both of you feel good about the idea, then I think it's time. It doesn't matter if you met her a year ago or an hour ago. What matters is that it feels right for you.

Having sex for the first time-- it's a scary thing for anyone, Armin. But if you think about doing it and you feel more good about doing it than you feel nervous... that's probably a sign that you're ready. And it'll be the same with her too.
