Actually, I think this is probably very good advice for starrysky personally, but I don't think this is universal by any means. Perhaps we are in agreement and you were tailoring your advice to her. In the event that you were not though, and speaking in a more general sense, I want to say something about this.

I have been with women who thought we should have sex the very first night. My wife and I went years without having sex. Different strokes for different folks. Some place a high premium on sex, others don't. Wanting sex within three weeks is not a black mark against a person imo. Too, if they go out on a date a week - this is very different from arriving at the 'I want to have sex with you position' after three to four dates a week for three weeks.

Mixed feelings on this one. A woman telling me she is not ready for sex after a week or two is within my limits. In other words, if I want to have sex with a woman I am dating and after two or three weeks she tells me that she is not ready, then if I am serious about her after two or three months and she still hasn't broached the subject and indicates that she is ready, I think it is reasonable to mention it again.

It's like my boss telling me that the company just isn't in a position to give me a raise at this time. If my boss hasn't given me a raise six months later then re-visiting the issue of me getting a raise at that time is completely reasonable in my opinion. It may be that I enjoy the job sufficiently to wait for a bit more after our first encounter but if he is not ready to give me my raise six months later, I may consider moving on.

Good luck.
Again, I think this is good personal advice for starrysky - but I have had sex with a woman I am dating (and stayed the weekend with her or vice versa) very early on in a relationship and it was mutually desired and beneficial. I don't doubt that starrysky would not find that welcome, so I tend to agree with you here for her specifically, but not universally for all people.
