Hey loves! It’s Rebecca Cooper Traynor from Match Me Canada, here to chat about one of the biggest questions in modern dating: When should you sleep with someone?
Let’s be real—this decision can feel HUGE. And no wonder! Whether you’re in your 20s, 40s, or beyond, deciding when to get intimate isn’t just about attraction. It’s about trust, timing, and knowing what YOU want.

Why Timing Matters
- Trust Is Everything
Physical intimacy requires vulnerability. Before diving in, ask yourself: do I trust this person? Do I feel safe sharing this part of myself with them? - Intention Over Impulse
Be honest—are you ready, or are you just hoping this will move the relationship forward? Your intentions matter more than any timeline. - Your Pace Is the Right Pace
There’s no “perfect” time, but there IS your time. Whether it’s date three or month three, follow what feels right for YOU.
How to Know When You’re Ready
- Check Your Connection: Do you feel emotionally safe and seen?
- Have the Talk: Open communication about expectations and boundaries is a must.
- Be Honest with Yourself: If there’s doubt, wait. Clarity is key.
Final Thoughts: Listen to Yourself
There’s no magic formula for when to sleep with someone—but there IS a rule: trust your gut. Love is about more than timing—it’s about being ready to show up fully.
