ok I just want to clarify...here is how I will operate when I want to "get to know someone" and "see where it goes:"
1) I may or may not ask him out; I don't kiss him on the 1st date and I don't talk about sexy stuff
2) I wait for him to let me know if he wants to see me again
3) we go out, I behave myself (lol) and maybe kiss him on the 2nd date (at the very end if it seems ok and I am interested)
4)I wait for him to call me (sorry- letting the man set the pace)
5)If he calls back within 1-3 days I know he is interested. The sooner he calls back, the more he is interested
6) at this point, we set up another date. we go out and kiss at the most
7)I feel comfortable at this point in calling him or sending him a text to show I am interested. The guy shouldn't have to be left hanging.
8)I don't bug him too much; he may call me, or I might text/call him
9)after 4 dates and phone conversations I will get a feel for how frequent of contact he would like or prefer
10) we just start spending time together (which could mean 1-2x a week every other week or 1x week --NOT every day or 3+ times a week! that is my pace) and if he says "I really like you" I reciprocate but I DO NOT say it first! and then it goes from there,
I haven't progressed much past 6 months so I don't know what happens! lol! But I listed the above so you can see I am so not an agressive hussy when it comes to dating for a relationship, lol!
And my man friends (i.e. husbands of my female friends or the guy from Massachussets that I talk to every day) CLEARLY DO NOT LIKE PRESSURE, PUSHY WOMEN, or "stalker" behaviors
