Dating etiquette?
I fear I might have worded my question infelicitously. I’m not really asking for help dating, I do ok in that department, and I recognize the kinds of variations that exist between people and situations. I’m more interested in how people think about dating, about how people personally think about those variations for themselves. geoff.’s contribution, while radically different from my own approach to these questions, and a bit distasteful to me as a result, is precisely his take on what’s important.
Actually — not really ChatFilter. There are a lot of us in this situation. I’ve had a string of long-term relationships, and prior to that never really “Dated” because for people our age, dating was considered passe throughout our teens and early 20s.

Oops you’re a guy. Yeah don’t let her string you along past 3 dates without getting any ass. Seriously, this is not a jock cocky thing but a stay-away from cockteases kind of thing. Some girls live for the game. That might work if you’re a “dating person” who expects to be dating for many years and isn’t looking for a proper relationship. The OP has stated that a long-term relationship is his goal, so your advice isn’t good in this case. The best relationships take time to build.
