You don't say how old you are. I am assuming you're a little younger than I am. I have four daughters of my own, and one of them is already a mom at 18. When you're with the boy you like, and if you guys are getting close, kissing and stuff, it makes your hormones go kind of crazy, and sometimes all you can think about is sex. It doesn't mean he doesn't like you for more than that, and he might not really know how to tell you. It's great that since you're not ready, that you're waiting. Alot of girls give in because they want to keep the boy, but you're smarter than that, so be really proud of yourself. When you're ready, you'll know. The important things to keep in mind here are that if he does care about you, he'll wait, and when the time comes, use protection. Make sure you keep talking to him about your feelings, and if he does the same, you will be communicating and getting to know each other and that is what will make or break your relationship, not whether or not you're having sex at the moment. Good luck honey!

I think maybe what this guy wants is just sex. There may not be anything you can do to change him right now. Instead, look for a guy who likes you in other ways as well.

Here is the clear cut rule on this, and it doesn't matter if he is after you for sex or something else. You have a boundary that you set up, a line that you don't want to cross with him yet. If he is not going to respect your boundaries then he does not deserve to be with you...period. If you aren't ready to sleep with him then don't. Sleeping with him will not guarantee that he will stay with you or that he will be happy or anything like that.

Stick to your guns on any boundaries that you set up. Its not a matter of you being a prude or frigid or anything else that he may try to call you. Its a matter of you doing exactly what you say you will and sticking to your boundaries. The right guy for you will start showing he is the right guy for you by respecting your boundaries.
