I know its not a simple yes or no, that there are a ton of factors to it, but i just want a simple answer. My boyfriend and i have been dating only a week, but we've been friends for about a year now and i've had a major crush on him for almost the entire time we've known each other. My question is, should i give myself to him so soon? I don't think its that big of a deal to lose your virginity and my friends encourage 'it' as long as 'it' is safe. Can you give me any advice? (We're both 17, soon to be 18, if that matters)
