Actually, I simply posed a question and did not state my personal belief at all. I think most people who are at least in their early 20's have a goal in dating - casual sex, nothing serious, LTR, marriage, etc. - but that is different that "what is your goal in dating this specific person."
When do you call it "dating" is just semantics and older people tend to call all social activities "dating" if it involves a potential romantic interest.
I, too, sleep on the right hand side of the bed. But that does not mean that you and I are dating! :) :) :)
Right! Saying that your goal is to find a partner for a LTR does not mean that this particular girl is the one that you want.
You can tell a guy, "Eventually, I what to meet the right guy, get married, and have children of my own." That doesn't mean that you think HE is The One!
Yes but I’ve had guys looking for a hookups say things like that @OlderAndWiser Eventually I think everyone wants that for themselves but that doesn’t exactly mean they are ready to settle down at the moment with you. That’s a very general and broad way to say it in my opinion and they can overlook your point.
So he/she could continue casually dating you with no goals of moving forward with such broad statements. The wording should be more personalised towards them so they don’t waste your timewithout being overbearing.
@lexiflexs The question is targeted at initial dating experiences when you DON'T really know the other person and have NO idea whether you would ever see them as a LTR/marriage partner.
It's a reminder of my lifelong resentment of how guys have always been expected to make the first move or be the one to ask a woman out and how women almost never are the ones to ask a guy out
@moviedude714 Men and women are different and there are different expectations for us. That's just the way it is. We aren't expected to be pregnant for 9 months, are we?
My guess is it has something to do with brain chemistry as to why women normally play a passive role when it comes to starting a relationship
@moviedude714 Because it will always be that way and you're smart enough to know that.
Yeah I never liked it but sadly can't do anything about it, I always hated being the Hunter

@Lisa_grl There are a bunch of guys who are sexually active. Girls rotate in and out from one guy to another. Eventually, as relationships (or hookups) come and go, one girl can make her way through most of those guys (and vice versa.). That's why it's called a carousel. Because you go around the circle from one person to the next.
... Kind of alarming imagery if you think about it; right?
@Lisa_grl Riding cocks, one after another, like your 20's are a cock-filled amusement park.
There are many desperate people nowadays. That's why it's risky to tell them your goals especially if you desire love and loyalty. Those desperate partners will start playing with your heart.
@Elsa143. You can blame your mother and older sisters for destroying the institution of marriage. There are many, many, good reasons why men no longer want to marry.
A girl can tell a guy, "Eventually, I what to meet the right guy, get married, and have children of my own." That doesn't mean that she thinks YOU are The One!
You are being evaluated on a first date. Absolutely. And aren't you evaluating her? Deciding whether you might want a second date with her?
