I can't really imagine dating someone for very long that wasn't attracted to me, personally. I've had situations, not in the past few years but further back, where we waiting because of logistics (childcare, etc), but not because someone wasn't interested.

I think I need someone to beat me in the head with a rock considering for once I agree with you.

LOL! Meeting someone doesn't count as a date so that officially sounds like TWO dates. Try one more date, and then come onto her enough so she has a reason to end it with you.

I don't know how old the OP and this woman are or what their communication's been like in between dates, but the mere fact that she's not jumping his bones after three dates/three weeks doesn't mean she's not attracted to him.

The problem is that things don't seem to be progressing properly. We've made out with each other during each date but she doesn't invite me inside afterwards. I don't want to waste my time. I'm thinking she is "on the fence" with me and probably is seeing someone else also. Is it time to write this off yet?
Why is 3 dates your threshold? Isn't that pretty arbitrary? Why not go on a non-dinner date with her, something fun, so she can get to know you better, see a different side of you.

Do you not know how to court a woman? Or were you under the illusion that after 3 free dinners, she owed you the most intimate act known to man (and woman)?

Well the guy I dated for 5 months might want to talk to you. WE were NEVER physical the whole time.

I think she needs to be sent to prison for this horrible act of hers!
Seriously! It's like credit card theft; she cashed in for 3 dinners, then absconded. There should be a law against it.

Well, the only other thing I can think of is she has some type of morality crap relating to sex going on, which is a total turnoff. Or, there are logistical issues, which can happen.

Thankfully I haven't had to deal with this game playing in years. I've only been reminded that it still exists in society still because of this forum.

I don't think you want a relationship. I suggest you use the "Pay as you go" method. Hire a hooker, no wining, dining, or let downs.

What does this have to do with the OP's situation? They've made out, and she's been on 3 dates with him. She's obviously attracted to him.
