If/ when someone is upfront with their own relationship goals on second date, do you assume this is because they already know they want to be with you? (Page 2)

Question

Disclaimer: I DO NOT. I’m asking this bc i find it peculiar many people have this mind set & are bothered by someone providing pertinent data as if it is a decision. With so many playing games. I think honesty is refreshing. Being upfront about personal relationship goals on the second date seems very early for some, for others it is just being efficient and not wasting time. Yea you can develop feelings for the person and perhaps give up stuff important to you, but I think many people don’t want to fall into that trap - which I understand.   I can see both approaches having merit. Being open free and seeing how things go not worrying about the future until you know how you feel is one technique tho probably best suited to 15-26 year olds or people for whom relationships are not a priority. Life keeps moving and while you’re seeing “how things go” with someone you may end up not wanting to be with bc turns out tho you fell in love, you want very different things— other people are meeting people they settle with who might’ve been a really good fit for you 🤷🏻‍♀️ Being upfront knowing what you want sure saves a lot of hassle - tho not everyone reacts well. & perhaps what you want changes. I think with major things like sex or marriage it’s crucial to be on the same page. I understand bringing it up as early as possible it is very unlikely to change. You may agree to compromise, but it may be to the point either or both are miserable. If a guy doesn’t tell me what’s important to him up front, that’s fine as long as it doesn’t Interfere with my ability to make an informed decision. Likewise, If he tells me straight up on say date two or three, that’s fine too —unless his actions betray his words. Then he’s not being upfront he’s being shifty. But to be upfront, I would not see that as needy or desperate & I CERTAINLY not as indicative of having made up his mind about ME. 😂

I would not read anything into it beyond the person wanting to make what he or she is looking for clear so as to avoid wasting the other person’s time if there are dealbreakers in those goals.

It is better to be up front about what you are looking for in a relationship instead of both people potentially wasting each other's time.

No, I think it's just to be clear what their intentions are. It's not an indication of commitment.

I have no experience with dates, so I guess I can't comment on this.

RavVid · Answer

It is just sensible and stops both from wasting their time.

I don't see why it would be needy or desperate. If anything it makes clear what you want. I wouldn't want to be told about it months down the road. Better to get it out of the way now.
