I am in my 30's and am trying to understand how the dating game has changed so much. I am in a relationship, not married, but I feel like the standards and rules have changed (and not for the better).
I have so many questions, but I will only tackle one at a time. Here is my first question:
If a guy approaches you, and you exchange phone numbers, how long before the first date?
It seems like there are a lot of women who try to build a "friendship" or take things slow (usually the guys idea) and it may be 3 months before their first date, but they have been "talking" the entire time. I think that if the guy is interested in you, THE ABSOLUTE MINIMUM thing he should do is to take you out and get to know you, in person. Not at your place or his, but a public place that you will both enjoy. You know...dating/courting.
Of course there is not any one right time frame, but I think after 2 weeks or so, if mr man has not asked me out yet, I am on to the next.
Any opinions?
