Do you have to get to know a girl extensively first, before you THINK about dating her? (Page 2)

[Grkgod12]

It really depends on the person.
I have met girls that I liked physically and mentally, and wanted to date right away.
What do you look for in a guy who you might want to be with?

[DrippingHoney]

The purpose of dating someone is to get to know them extensively.

[lokeshdh00]

Not extensively. I don't want to write a book on every girl I met. It's like if you like someone. Ask her out during some free time. If you enjoy being together then you could get close or may be life partner

[leonidas69]

When you talk to these people. Define dating. If they come out for coffee because they want to get to know you, tell them it's a date. It's literally called a coffee date. 😂

[cth96190]

No, because the purpose of dating (for me) is to get to know the woman.
I treated dating as a series of auditions to find someone for the role of wife.

[dmgstarfleet]

Truth be told we get to know them on a date. That’s what dating is. Then if it’s all good and it’s mutual then on to an exclusive relationship.

[Dongtai]

I need to know her extensively if I want to know if I’d want her to be my girlfriend. I date her to find out.

[JimboGB]

I agree that initial attraction is intuition but by definition you can't be sure you're correct. This is when you date someone to discover if your gut feeling was correct. I have a great intuition which has got me out of many situations.

[MannMitAntworten]

No. I can ‘usually’ tell right away. My last girlfriend, the moment I first saw her I know I had to get to know her. We became involved pretty much from the first moment.

[ChrisWardJr]

We are at our most vulnerable state when dating. ( Discussion for another time 😂)

Getting to know someone helps us understand the risk we're willing and not willing to take.

[kryptocynical]

No u don't I too believe in love at first sight and so does big Ray Ray over here

[bulletbob555]

Its always best to get to know the other person first. You will be getting to know them eventually. Yes it is instinct to know you want to date, but you have to get to know the person to see if you are compat9

[BeachMaster]

Yes.. Friends first before making any commitments like that.

[LoU_Hades]

If you was a 10/10 I suppose they would date you without thinking about that.

[udontoh]

10/10 isn’t a real rating tho

[LoU_Hades]

*you were

[LoU_Hades]

@udontoh Men who find a girl attractive tend to idealize her and she is 10/10 in their perception

[udontoh]

Yeah but 10/10 isn’t a true rating since it’s unrealistic. Saying she’s a 10 is just an exaggeration or expression. They find her attractive and think she’s a 10 when she’s a 7 or 8 maybe 9. Which are really good ratings but still. 10 is humanely impossible

[Kurαȷ]

Well, yes?
To like someone, I have to know a lot of things about them.

[ecfresh]

No, if I am sexually attracted to her then I can start to think about dating her

[art84]

I see dating as showing interest in someone and wanting to get to know them on a personal level. I would want to know about a girl first thus dating her.

[clampfan101]

There’s only so much you can learn with friendship, but the things you can learn include some of the most important things in the world if you’re looking for an actual relationship.

[vannefftor]

Im not asking for social security numbers or anything but if a girl has some major trauma/baggage that she waits 2 months to tell me about imma have every right to be insulted

[lawhawk84]

To fuck her, we don't need to know her. If we plan on sticking around we need to make sure you ain't nuts.
