What are some unspoken rules of dating?

Question

Summeroflove · Accepted Answer

Number one is that you should care about their past and if someone’s honest about it. I’m not saying that someone needs to share that stuff on the first date but before things get serious certain things should be discussed of both people.

Number two is don’t be a entitled bitch/prick. If someone’s not meant to be for you then let them go. Everyone’s looking for something else but people who act entitled usually are going to chase off the kind of people they want. It’s okay to have standards that’s why we date. To see who we are compatible with. As well as genuinely appreciate when someone does something they don’t have to. Such as pay for the date. Bring gifts. Or anything else.

Another thing is don’t be a coward. Don’t stand someone up. Don’t string someone along if you loose interest be respectful but honest about it. You both deserve to find someone you’re happy with. You wouldn’t want someone doing that to you so don’t do it to somebody else.

Also, put your phone away. You should be there to spend time and get to know someone. Someone being on their phone shows they aren’t interested.

Be early or on time. I get things can happen out of your control. But being intentionally late sends the message. That you don’t really value their time. You’re not that interested because if you really wanted to be with someone you wouldn’t make them wait.

Why do you get the feeling most men just say whatever to agree with a woman’s opinions on everything just so they can get her in the boudoir?

TMen live in the “now”-they pretend to want long term commitment only to get benefits “now” because women sacrifice thinking it will make men stick around

For men, dating is really simple: They try to give impression or straight up lie that they want to a long term relationship because they KNOW that women sacrifice their benefits to men expecting it makes him stick around

Girls there’s no need to be embarrassed when a guy leaves you because 99% likely he was only pretending to want to be there long term because he wanted the benefits you would provide “now”. He never saw or cared for any of your value beyond benefits

In the first 3-7 dates, do not ask about 1. their past relationships, 2. their past sexual experiences, 3. their feelings about marriage and children, and do not ask about 4. their salary.

ProbablyClueless · Answer

Your person's friends are just as important in a relationship as the one you're dating. Friends are a look at who someone is when they aren't trying to have sex with you.

If their friends suck, it's most likely because they also suck.

There are no rules for dating other than the general rule for social situations -- be considerate of others. Otherwise, behave like an emotionally stable adult -- be honest, ask for what you want.

DrPepper12 · Answer

Don't whip out your flaccid mini willie in the car at the end of the first date and say "Well, what are we gonna do about this?" Yes. Actually happened to a young lady ik. She refuses to tell any of us who it was for fear we'll end up in prison. According to her she took care of the situation in two clicks... One of his "manhood" and the other of his license plate to preserve the memory of an enchanted evening.

Don't make creepy sexual jokes like "Is your car battery dead? Because I’d really like to jump you." But seriously, we must be jumper cables because I feel sparks between us. No, really, can I pleasure myself on your breasts?

Don’t make him tell me to get down on my knees when sucking him off and to look up into his eyes to show him how much I enjoy servicing him. I try to be obedient and follow his instructions.
