yes

no

You mean to just meet and then have sex? I mean yeah, that is a thing.

[Asker]

Rushing into a exclusive relationship without having dated first, you meet and commit immediately.

[Quackthulu2]

Oh, well that’s just stupid.

[LazerBean]

There's no good reason to, you're just begging for failure.

[ImalwaysrightOK]

You should only do that if it's someone you already know.

[Asker]

Yes but then you can argue how long does it take to truly 'know someone' -one month, what about two?

[ImalwaysrightOK]

Getting to know someone you're going to be living with or intimate with is important.

[Asker]

Completely agree, seems that a ridiculous sum of people don't.

[Astarlessnightsky]

How do you do that? Arranged marriage?

[Asker]

Impulsivity upon meeting I guess

[Astarlessnightsky]

But if you had a meeting, thats a date?
