I am a person who isn't that trusting. I don't understand how people can be so intimate with someone they just met.
I agree. It seems to cheapen the sex act, in my opinion. How well would you really know someone after three or even ten dates? People should get to know each other as platonic friends first, then if they have those feelings explore them at that point, after you already know and trust each other. That might take three months of talking and it might take three years, but three dates is definitely not sufficient.
Well...I kinda feel like I'm dropping a bomb here, but I guess honesty is the best policy. I am actually attracted to women too. I identify as pansexual, and the last person I had feelings for who broke my heart was actually my former best friend, a woman.
Whew. Non het bomb detonated. lol.
I am not really interested in dating women at this point in my life, though. I'm interested in one specific man. Whatever.
I wouldn't hate dating if it was actually romantic, but it's not. There's nothing romantic about stammering awkwardly through a first, and probably last, date.

That's not a bomb.
And you don't know anything about dating because you've never been on a date. When you get that through your head, you will be making progress.
Some people have very strange reactions, so it can be.
You think because I've never been on a date I can't read about other people's experiences or have some idea of what dating is?
When it comes to dating, yes. I think think that you can't read about other people's experiences and know what dating is like. It's like falling in love. You can't read about it and know what it's like. Or giving birth. Or having a parent die. Or like most of life's experiences.
Are you going to start a thread about how you feel about everything that you have never experienced? Because it's really a waste of time. Live your life and get some experiences.
Dating can suck and it's frustrating sometimes, but it's extremely rare to get the type of close relationship you crave without going out on a few dates.
