[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's possible to have sex on the first date and also end up in a long-term relationship with that person.[/quote]

This. But I respect OP for sticking to her boundaries.

Where women sometimes run into trouble is when they hold out sex till the guy commits. Sex isn’t a chit to play to force commitment. I’ve seen it work sometimes; other times the guy gets sick of the woman and they break up, the guy says he’ll commit but sneaks around, etc.

Also, tangentially related to this—lots of people think they are great at sex and they’re not. If the sex is good, both parties keep coming back (assuming there is other compatibility too).[/quote]

Much of this is true. I remember dating a woman for several months, but it seemed like it wasn't going anywhere and that I was being "friend zoned". 
Towards the end, I saw her maybe once every week or two as we were both busy.
During that time, I met someone else (no sex), but it seemed like we had that physical attraction and connection for each other.
When I told the 1st woman that I thought it best we stop seeing each other, she became emotionally upset and surprised,. About a week later, she contacted me and said something to the effect that I didn't want to wait until she was "comfortable with intimacy".
After dating the 2nd woman a few months, we had a long term relationship with sex until she made a difficult decision to move to west coast. I decided to stay in DC area because of my career. 
We are still friends.
I'm not sure women like the 1st one understand that men will wait, but not forever.
If they don't seem interested in a physical relationship, men pick that up and move on.[/quote]
