Clearly when it comes to sex, like minded people attract like minded people. There are men like LH who don’t see a woman as being promiscuous if sex happens on the first date. Then, there are men who are turned off by having sex quickly. And I am sure the same goes for women. I personally would not date a guy long term who tried to sleep with me faster than my comfort level. But then again, I would not sleep with any guy on the first few months (unless I ran into Keanu Reeves at Target - and I DO look for him). If a guy is trying to get with me that fast then basic law of probability is he is hooking up A LOT. And that’s not a turn on for me. So, I am looking for like minded men and have always passed on those who don’t fit this bill.

To me, the bigger issue is, while you are enjoying dating G. (as you well should!), are you sure you are really evaluating this guy thoroughly vs. just getting more interested quickly because he is showing interest? I guess I just want to plant the seed that if you’ve been on your own and really want a long term relationship (which is totally understandable), are you just ready to make it happen quickly if a guy shows potential? How high is the bar?

You are the prize. You are to determine if this guy is worthy of you because you are the full package. The question is, is HE worthy of you long term?
