Being Physical Expectations

Anonymous
I have been out of the dating scene over 20 years, what is the standard now for how fast to move on the first, second, third dates, etc.? What are the expectations?

You do you, OP. What are YOU comfortable with? Start there.

This. You might go out on a first date where all you can think about is ripping the guy's clothes off. Or, you might meet someone you'd like to get to know better, and it's a month later. It's just another layer of compatibility. You may be extremely compatible here. It may take a little coordination. It may be total opposites and the "relationship" fizzles out.

Really, OP??? You're at least 35 years old. Do what you want, regardless of which date it is. It's not junior high and adults don't kiss and tell.

Different for each person. Depends on Chemistry.

It depends. I thought taking it slow would be more normal as you age but I've also found that I have less patience to wait and feel ok moving faster. But I'm not the most experienced. I've only dated two men since my divorce.

Nothing has changed. Men want sex. Those who don't want sex aren't worth dating. You have to figure it out with the one's who do.

depending on your age It does seem that young people do not have/want any body hair as in no hair everywhere. I'm guessing men care about this but not really?

A lot of guys would like sex relatively quickly. A few of them will dump you if they don't get it. But others are comfortable taking things more slowly and letting it play out. It's generally safe to assume that in the early stages, the guy may still keep his options open, especially with Tinder, etc. But there are guys who will go exclusive fairly quickly.

(I'm in my 40's and it's unusual for me to sleep with someone after just a few dates, but that's me.)

Good luck, OP!
