I moved to a new city and reconnected with an old friend. We’ve been spending a lot of time together (not dating) and things are beginning to get a little steamy. He’s made it clear that sex is important to him in a relationship, but I’m celibate and plan to wait till marriage. I don’t see a future with him, but I enjoy being friends. Am I being selfish to hold on to him even though I know I would never give him the sex he wants? Should I just cut him loose right away? Please help.
