LookAtThisPOst Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 This female friend I know is online dating and she's been meeting guys. She said this recent one she started to like so has seen him probably like 3 times now. Recently, he tried to schedule get together close together. Like they went out for a walk on Friday, but wanted to see her for dinner the following Sunday evening. 2 days later. She turned him down because she'd prefer to space apart the dates by at least a week...at least for now I suppose. Apparently, I guess the guy comes off desperate if he tries to schedule dates too close to each other? I guess from her point of view he's rushing things? Link to post Share on other sites
PegNosePete Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I have a friend who just met someone and they had 9 dates in 12 days. Different strokes for different folks. Link to post Share on other sites

Els Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Isn't it tiresome to have all these 'rules'? Do whatever comes naturally to you (within reason of course, a date every 2-3 days is fine, blowing up their phone with 100 missed calls isn't). Compatible people will like it, incompatible ones won't. End of story. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
basil67 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 From her point of view, he's rushing things. From my point of view, she sounds like too much hard work. I've never paid attention to the rules. I've always just done what I feel is right. Sometimes that worked for the other party and sometimes it didn't. If being true to myself instead of playing by the rules turned off a guy....I didn't care. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
MissBee Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Isn't it tiresome to have all these 'rules'? Do whatever comes naturally to you (within reason of course, a date every 2-3 days is fine, blowing up their phone with 100 missed calls isn't). Compatible people will like it, incompatible ones won't. End of story. Pretty much. Whatever feels comfortable and organic is what I go with in dating. With most all the guys who became my boyfriends though, it tended to be that we saw each other pretty frequently. Last bf, we had our first date on a Saturday and I also saw him again the next day. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
