[quote=Anonymous]I did online dating off and on between 2015 and 2020 in my forties, so my experience is a bit dated. (I am in a relationship now.)

My experience is that men started pushing for sex for what is for me really soon - like date two. I don't adhere here to the "third date" rule - I think that's some myth men put on there to make women feel they need to put out quickly. That's not enough time for me, both for emotional reasons and for physical health reasons. I regularly wait till dates 8 to 10 or so. I do other stuff before then, but PIV or oral, no. I'm not risking getting an STD from some dude I met online who is probably dating others. I wait till we have a convo about exclusivity and until he gets and shows me STD tests and takes down his online dating profiles.

I managed to enter into three exclusive relationships with potential during that time period using those standards. I also had a few guys lose interest after three or four dates of no sex, but I figure they probably weren't that into me anyway.
