If a man buys you dinner...

In talking with a few 'older' single women the topic of dating came up  (big surprise), and they wanted to know how dating works for my generation. I was slightly perplexed about this in part because I don't think dating as a whole has evolved a great deal. As far as I was aware the idea of dinner and a movie is as standard as black stilettos. After a while I started to realize that it wasn't the physical action of dating, so much as the post-date expectations. I was quite frank in my explanation of "Well that depends on the person you're on the date with, but no girl should sleep with someone on a first date." I was shocked to hear that this woman had stopped dating due to the fact that personally she felt obligated to sleep with everyone she dated, and more importantly the men she dated felt this way too. I think that the caliber of men you date needs to dictate your actions. If you're going to date a man whore, expected to be treated like a whore. Date someone who treats you like the person you are, or you want to be. Never settle for anything less.
