Sex Too Soon?

Dear Miss Emily:
So this is my first year of college and i met this really nice, good looking guy. We hung out at his place after we went out with some friends. Everything went great the first night. We talked about his family my family -- a whole bunch of stuff. Then things started to get a little hot and we started to kiss and touch. it felt right. our chemistry clicks. But i told myself next guy i meet i would take it really slow. Next day comes, I'm in school and i see him. We smile at each other and i keep it moving. I didnt want him to think i was falling for him already. But that night, long story short, we had sex. And the next morning we had sex.I loved it, but i wanted to wait so we could get a closer bond other than sex. He said it wouldnt change how he thought of me so im guessing that's a good thing. We still talk but i dont know what to do. I really like him, and i see myself with him. What should i do?
-------------------------Miss Emily's advice-----------------
You can't go back and remake this bed! Sex is a powerful master, and it's hard to resist when you've met someone who has all the right elements of a, potential, great boyfriend. I can't tell you how many letters I get from women who express regret after having sex with a guy before they had a chance to develop a friendship. And what is common is to go to the guy and say, "I didn't mean to do that. Are we okay?" He always says "yes" but the jury is out on whether most guys mean it. I know, it's a double standard. If girls weren't having sex with guys, prostitutes would be millionaires and it would lure a lot more women into the trade! It will be hard to reverse course, now, because I think he's going to expect the type of intimacy you've already allowed. If you and he do get together, again, tell him it's important for you to develop a friendship with him and, although you've had sex already, you hope it doesn't supersede your ability to have a chance to know each other in other meaningful ways. Or, words to that affect. Next guy? Well, hope springs eternal.
