Question for the guys (Page 2)

<-------ducks and hides. I had a cell phone in high school......

Well by all means you should go with what your instincts tell you and if your instincts tell you in 3 dates then so be it.

I need 3 months before I know whether the guy is a keeper. But I also kiss on the first date, if I'm moved to do so. To each his own.

FWIW, if you are going to withhold physical affection but don't want to give the impression that you are not interested or lack affectionate feelings, then perhaps you should be more deliberate about communicating/conveying your positive interest. Guys and gals often interpret kissing as a definite interest; lack of kisses conveys lack of interest. Generally speaking.

Excellent point Renee.  My 3rd date might be interesting

dude, you are my age, and when i was in high school, cell phones were huge!  That must've been like the zach morris phone.  hahahah!

I can see a little Comet in high school.  Walking around with that big bag on her shoulder, knocking everyone over with her cell phone.  LOL!

Well this is why I do not date much, too many rules...

I would date Renee though she gives smooches on the first date.....

<oops>

I still remember that first kiss some 13 1/2 years ago ... the lucidity of the moment, though, belies the fact that we were drinker'n Cooter Brown, dancing on the top of a desk in some dark, firehazardly overcrowded room in my fraternity house to some cheesy '70's music at some odd hour in the morning.

We, of course, went to the party just as friends ...

Glad I'm married.  This dating stuff is much too complicated. 

By the way, I first kissed my wife before our actual first date.  We met at a dance at the student union (she asked me to dance while I was trying to hit on her roommate).  After the dance I walked her back to her dorm and gave her a  goodnight kiss.  She thought I was being extremely forward, but still agreed to go out with me the next night anyway.  That was 32 years ago, so I guess it all worked out okay...

1. Welshy I'm suprised, very suprised....not going to say why...but I am.
2. Chucky...wow. At least you're honest.

I was trying to put myself in Janell's obviously prudish situation and how I would feel if I were a man dating, or attempting to date, her. On my own level, I would completely fcuk the girl.

I'm so glad you're not in his position and I pity any girl who's in a prudish situation with you.

OHHhhhh...THAT sounds like the Welshy I know. I was thoroughly confused. It all makes sense now.

P.S. Janelle, I was kidding. As long as she was clear with me on her intentions, that she needed to move slow, and assuming she was worth it to me, I would be fine with her going slow - if, however, I tried to initiate something and all I got was a moving away, etc..., without explanation, I would blow her off.

Welshy- why do you always have to make these threads all about your wahoo???
