1st rule of order

Make sure you take your sense of humor with you. When you go out on that date . Either you'll be laughing together ... or you have something to laugh about

I don't have any rules. If I don't want to then I won't.

I surely don't think it is blackmail to not have sex with someone you are not ready to have sex with. It is blackmail to say "You kissed me, you got me all hot and bothered, and now you have to come across." That is blackmail.

Since when is kissing and making out teasing. Do you say, Oh, no don't kiss me. I don't want to have sex?" THAT sounds high school to me. Geez, I need to kiss you and carry on a little bit just to know if you are a candidate for a further relationship. Doesn't mean I have to sleep with you tonight.

IMO Kissing is validating vested intrest....not a peck on side of face....

that is like letting your child have a lick of your icecream cone and then telling them they should not want another.....
that is like telling a cop your keys are in the ignition when your juiced but you where not going to drive....

you can sell it but who is dumb enuff to bye it.

I don't think there are any rules anymore. It seems like everyone I meet these days has their own ideas about what is acceptable. When I say that I really mean it. I've met some women who are incredibly straitlaced and others who seem to have no inhibitions whatsoever. In the short time I've been single a lot of ideas have been pitched to me and not all have been that appealing. Its definitely a jungle out there.

Rules?? I don't see how there could be since we're all individuals with our own sets of standards or morals and unfortunately for some , their pretty LOW.

Let a man try to get me into bed with him on the first date and he won't see this gal again is all I have to say. I'm looking for a gentleman with some good high morals.

Woman or man, if he or she sleeps with you on the first date.. how many others has he or she slept with? - And in this day and age, that's down right SCARY!

I see so many women and men on these datings sites discussing sex, sex and more SEX! Bragging about getting laid and wanting more. Not that I'm opposed to sex at all (with the one true love of my life) but until then and I find him, sorry but I'll be that cold fish. At least I won't be a fish who has genital warts, herpes, aids or some other dreadful STD - and PLEASE don't hit me back with WE USE SAFE SEX - Nadda! Don't and won't believe that. Most don't! I was involved in a survery in a center where we questioned a lot of people of both genders about their sexual activity and the use of condoms (all ages) and when down to the brass true facts, a condom is rarely used although most women and men tell the next person they sleep with that lie, that "they always use them"!. Not! Don't fall for it!

My niece is an RN and she said the number is unbelievable of how many people who are admitted to the hospital these days who on their charts have STD's.

Without lookig back at the responses now, I can't remember who said it but think it was a man, Ron, who said it in a nutshell. Some things should be "sacred".

[They seem nice, but drop me as soon as they find out I won't have sex with them.]

Tell them to take a hike! They're not truly interested in you for who you really are anyway. My opinion.
