I'd like to get some perspective on this. I met a lady back on Mardi Gras day (3/4) and we hit it off really well that evening. We've been on two more dinner dates since then that I felt went well. I really enjoyed her company and I would be interested in a relationship with this woman.

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?

3 dates and no sex?

Sounds like she has cut YOU off, not the other way around

Look, some women want to be careful about who they sleep with - I know, go figure, that's a hard concept for some of you guys to embrace.

Why not just be a grown up and have a conversation with her about this?

this three dates rule is a thing of the movies/tv shows that has no basis in reality.

Ha wow, you're going to write someone off because they haven't had sex with you after 3 dates? Sounds like she doesn't need to go on 4th date with you.

I say you tell her what you said here and see how she responds......

Before this thread continues, I need to run out and get some popcorn and snacks.

This is going to be good.

Honestly, those are the ones you keep around.

She has respect for her body and isn't easy. She wants a relationship (hopefully) and doesn't just sleep around all the time. TONS of men (myself included in the past) will lose total interest if a woman sleeps with them after the first date.


After a few dates with a woman (around 3-5) if she hasn't slept with me yet, I ask myself, "Do I really want to date her?" Because 1. You should know by then. 2. It's not fair to lead her on that far just for sex if you have no interest in dating her.

So, why don't you try talking to her? If you're really interested in the woman, which it seems, I'd say wait it out and hope for the best. Also know, that since she respects herself more and isn't "easy" I'd imagine she is much easier to trust and less willing to cheat.

Ditch her.

Let her find a man who respects her enough not to just jump in bed with her. Do you even know her last name?

Whelp you are going to get a lot of push back for your way of phrasing things. As for me if you live by hard and fast rules--a common mistake for both and women--then you might be cutting out potentially good people in your life.

Ha, please. What a joke. If that's the timeline, then he should have no issues with women and should have 3 he's banging on the side to hold him over until the new girl decides to be "his girlfriend" and actually have sex with him..

Gray,

After the mess with that one chick do you really think its wise to rush into sex?

Women who are a little more cautious about sleeping with someone too soon just might be more stable. Just sayin.

Take some time to get to know her if you think it could be something more than just sex.
