+1 yfirst thing you gotta ask yourself before you start dating is what are you really looking for? like whats your goal in dating? Sex? or a serious relationship?
if just sex then just go after who you want sexually and be upfront with the dude that this is all you want. and of course be safe about it.
if a relationship well this is gonna take more work. first just take things nice and slow, do not rush into anything or it might backfire on you badly.
next i think you're gonna want to know if a guy is just after sex or not. ways you can tell are this: if he disrespects your personal boundaries by pushing sex onto you when you are not comfortable, he jokes and talked about sex constantly even so far as to bring it up when you are discussing other topics and he constantly changes it back to sex. Also if you refuse sex from him and he gets upset or irate about it and even tries to shame you (even slut shaming you) for refusing him. so if any of these things occurs its a huge red flag and you should gtfo immediately.
once you have determined that a guy is NOT after sex finally you can then determine other things if he's worth dating. first as mentioned take your time with it. go on multiple dates with him and get a feel for him. when it 'feels' right let him kiss you (or you kiss him)... and if it also 'feels' right go ahead and go for sex. you just gotta pay very close attention to your inner voice/intuition at this moment. is it screaming at you saying "yes yes yes" or is it "nooooo get away"
As for venues, try to get him (or you can just choose too) to pick a location surrounded by lots of people so a coffee shop for instance. this way he can't do anything suspect or worse to you with all the people around to witness it. and get a feel for him in this moment to, is he checking the right boxes? or are there a couple still left unchecked. you can go on maybe another date at a crowded place to get another feel for him if unsure. After these few dates maybe you can be open to going to either one of your places. At this point you have to decide if sex with him feels right or not? if it does go for it, if not then refer to my first point about him respecting your boundaries or not. and if he does respect your boundaries then you may have a winner here and might be open to going to the next level. again only do so if you "feel" ready. i know a lot of this depends on the person but this is how i see it working.
also wear whatever you feel comfortable with. do not feel like you gotta dress to impress in my opinion. just pick something you think make you feel good and go with that. I think you already have a great fashion sense anyways so i think you're set there.
i think this is about all i wanna say here. its a lot but i think it works. a lot of women seem to struggle determining if a guy just wants sex or not so this is where im coming from with this answer.00 Reply

- Stop being picky and entitled. Just because you have a vagina doesn't entitle you to a 10/10 perfect male.
- Stop expecting men to do all the work, especially in today's so-called "Age of Equality" for women. If you really want that, you gotta step up.
- Stop expecting men to make the first move. If you like a guy, then just f*ckin' tell him! Or at the very least, if you've got cold feet, make it REALLY OBVIOUS with physical body language. Like smiling, looking at the guy, twirling your hair while looking at him, etc.
- Stop asking men for things you can't provide the female equivalent of. If you're not tall, rich, or funny, you don't deserve a tall, rich, or funny man to date you for no reason.
- Make personality great again. If you care about how a man treats you, then stop going after the tallest, hottest Chads and bad boys. You aren't owed sympathy when YOU are choosing the wrong kind of men every single time.
- Actually bring something to the table. Yeah, you have a vagina. We get it. Why else are you "worthy" for a guy to date you? What exactly can you give him that every other girl (especially the hotter ones) can't?
- And finally... Make your intentions known early and clearly. Men HATE mind games, and men hate mind-reader BS that women do. TALK TO HIM. COMMUNICATE. Don't make us have to "guess" what you want and what your intentions are.21 Reply

Why Women Are Single! A warning on how to avoid a lifetime of singlehood & misery!00 ReplyBe yourself, I suppose. Seems cliché but it is good advice.
If something doesn't feel right, probably a good sign to just stay home instead. Nothing wrong with just chilling to some music or watching some of your fav movies again.
Share ideas both ridiculous and serious.
And take my word and everyone else's here with a grain of salt, we're just a bunch of random. Tis all I got right now00 ReplyBut strong and independent & date men who are providers and protectors. Take good care of your physical appearance, be emotionally available to men (women are much better than men at expressing their emotions a lot of times), if you want kids be in tune with your motherly & maternal instincts, learn how to cook& feed a man
10 Reply10.9K opinions shared on Dating topic. If you like a guy make it obvious. Not so much while dating, but in interacting with potential dates. Many times I would meet a girl I was really interested in and the feeling seemed mutual, but I would be paranoid about making her feel uncomfortable.

Opinion Owner+1 y4 - Don’t be a b****. Be realistic. No guy is perfect and you shouldn’t expect any guy to be either.
Opinion Owner+1 y*isn’t all of those things either
Opinion Owner+1 ySorry, if this doesn’t sound serious. I am being serious. Men don’t like crazy women with crazy political agendas. They like normal traditional women that can make them happy and keep them happy. Find yourself a good conservative manly man that goes to church and don’t let him go.
Opinion Owner+1 yWell, good luck staying single and dating losers then.
Opinion Owner+1 yThat sounds like something a loser would say.
Don't compete with the men in your life, be a pleasant person to be around, stop being so critical, stop debating about things that just don't matter, stop letting your friends play a deciding role in your relationship.
