Search Results: dated you for your looks

Saw this in a [pretty stupid] conversation between two male friends. They're in their 30s but act like they're in their 20s. One was about to text the girl he has been seeing, ask her out again. His friend stopped him to give him advice on what to say, not say. It inspired this question.

The scenario is between a guy and a girl (but you can do same sex couple if you want. But this is about gender roles and preferences.) They are not strangers. They know each other, but not that well. They have just started casually dating. They both like each other.

But... the guy is reluctant [will not] commit. He's anticipating her wanting this. He's trying to play it cool. But he wants to keep dating her, having sex with her, have her in his life. "She's cool, and she's chill, and she's level-headed. But I don't want to fast-track anything." So his friend says to him, "Just tell her, 'Look, maybe I'll get there one day, but I don't want to hold you back from living your life.'" Typical commitmentphobe player b. s. But anyway, thought I'd make a question out of it.

What I'm getting at here is if there's a majority preference toward: politeness, or assertiveness, or something else. And do guys and girls have a different, or the same, idea about this. And, girls, does the assertiveness turn you on/do you like it, or does it turn you off?

It'd be for some snacks/appetizers as well, not just drinks, but for simplicity sake I didn't write that in each multiple choice because it would be too many words. This isn't a formal or fancy dinner date, but there will be food, so don't focus on that. And for those who don't drink alcohol, you can sub in any other beverage. It's not important. But it is a date, and there is sexual tension between them.

Me and my boyfriend have just bought our first house together, we've still got all the paperwork to get through so nothing is official yet but fingers crossed it's ours.

We only went in to look at it to be noisy at first but we instantly fell in love. We couldn't get the house out of our minds I'm still so excited I can't believe soon it will be ours.

It's in a great area and we got it for so cheap to because it's a fixer but it's a 3 bedroom Victorian house. Me and my partner think it's gorgeous. It still has a lot of the original Victorian features in it like the fireplaces and doors.

It's so, so pretty. Me and my boyfriend are very much into vintage stuff. I just think vintage never goes out of style and it's so classic whilst modern houses are tacky and cheaply made. It's all to flashy and tends are constantly changing. I really hate all this grey what's in fashion right now. It's your house it needs lots of light, colour and character to make you feel at home.

a lot of our friends and family have mixed views on the house and think we need to turn it modern but we like it the way it is and we our just gonna work around it. I'd hate to ruin such a stunning house I feel so lucky to hopefully been living in soon.

Sorry accident put women but I'm a guy.

I went out with a girl F28 for a week M26 and pretty much ruined it all. We got along over message reqlly well, heaps in xommon, understood eachother. I got way too emotional over something on our second meet and sort of ignored her and actually making effort, i said some hurtful things too, told her i didn't like her enough to date her. She got upset and felt used because she said I held back and didn't get to know her and she noticed I held because on being myself. (we did hook up). She said she is looking for more of a connection with someone and got upset at me because i couldnt tell her how i felt. She wished me well and it just ended.

I have managed to find another girl like her. She saw my worth and I ruined it. What so I do?

What would you say that is? Let's say you've recently just met and one of you asked the other out and you agreed to meet up for a date on the weekend (seriously just an example).

I personally hate the idea of a handshake. It's like you're on a business meeting or something.

It is hard to say what you can do without making them feel uncomfortable, that is a FACT but I think a greeting with a genuine smile while complimenting them "You look lovely" (or something like that) with a light kiss on the cheek is the BEST... at least for me.

I'd definitely appreciate that more over a handshake lol

I think a hug is maybe a bit too much.
