What to do about this road block to sex?

My girlfriend and I have been going out for 5 1/2 months now, I'm 22 and she's 20 and really shy, I used to be shy and have gotten over it since moving out and living on my own. We both love each other greatly, and I really think she's the one.

We're...

both virgins, and I really want to loose mine with her (I've had chances with other people before I met her, but I decided to hold onto it.) and I know I'm ready for this. The thing is, when I talked with her about it, she seemed shocked that I felt like that about her and that she THINKS she could think of me like that.

Thinks?! I don't know, it just sounded weird. I understand that she may not be ready, and I'm willing to wait for her, BUT, it is driving me insane. I can't stop thinking about her, I love being around her. I've tried putting my mind on other things like working out, drawing, and masturbating. None of these things work!!!! Its even got to the point where my minds off when I should be concentrating on everyday tasks in my life.

I don't want her to feel pressured or anything, and I want her to do it only because she wants to, but I've actually thought about breaking it off, even though I love her (I feel like an ass for thinking this) so I can get my life back on track. I've talked to her about this, and she said that she'd feel pressure to have sex with me if I was going to leave.

If there's anyone here who's been in this situation, or can give some words of advice, it'd be greatly appreciated! (After reading this, it seems like I'm messed!)

sex isn't every thing and if you love this person like you say you do then you can wait because no one wants to be pressured to do something,having sex for the first time can also be a very nervous experience for some people.But trust me the longer you wait the when you finally have sex together it will be the most amazing experience of your life.good luck but remember when she's ready because then your both going to enjoy it.

You have waited a long time to loose your virginity to the right person, if she is the one surely you can wait abit longer, be patient.

i understand u love her so much that u wont to do a great thing to show her how much u love her .

maybe she loves u the same but shes not ready to show it in that way just yet . try romancing her more flowers and stuff so she knows that ur there no matter what .

she probibly just need reasurrence of how u feel towards her!
