Every guy, everyONE, should want to be with a person who chooses them over all others.
Provided you give the other party reassurance ..

No sure if anyone here will get the drift ..

You want to sleep around? That's what it sounds like to me.

No worries, plenty of guys will be glad to oblige for a few weeks.... I would caution you though. There are several studies that show the more partners a woman has, the less happy/more depressed she becomes (relationship stability suffers too, higher turn-over). And most guys worth having Long-term don't want a girl who's been running marathons around the block, should you decide you want to settle down at some point later in life. It's the effect/result end of the equation. Fine if you know it and make the decision anyway, but I mention it because lots of people Don't know it.

It depends. In my past, the relationships developed fairly quickly or never. However with the lady I eventually married we took it very slowly. We came from different backgrounds and our relationship simply evolved to something more than just friendship.

No rules on the timing. It varies as much as the variety of people on the planet.

Personally, I'd rather get a good feel for the situation, understand the other person, and understand the inter-dynamics of the two people 'mix' before plunging into something that might be really stupid. If it's meant to be, and "we'd" be together from then on, a few weeks or even months is nearly nothing compared to the long streak of time.

Rushing into things seems short-sighted and immature, but that's just my opinion. Seems like the faster people want to go, the less they're thinking about the big picture and what makes sense, and are more just wanting to get their rocks off LOL. They're fooling themselves to call it a relationship. Better to be honest and call it a lust gratification or something.

'Fraid so, Oh-eve. We are what we are. But all is not lost - as you know.

You know, not all men think poorly of a woman who has the same desires as they do. In fact - we love them!

LOL yeah, I'm definitely not one to kiss women's asses or to seek their approval. If a girl wants to be promiscuous, good for her. I'd gladly sleep with her.

But I wouldn't settle down with her. If you'd like to marry the girl after I sleep with her, have at it, friend. That's all you.
