    ok -- for us "mature" folk --

    when I dated women, by date 3 the chemistry was either there for sex or that was the last date.

    date 3 tomorrow with a guy who's smart, funny, hot (slightly physical so far). he's cooking dinner at his place. I'm getting wine pairings. I'm working on "being present" -- not expectations. yes, I am excited.

    so tonight, "mature" but feeling like a high school kid :icon_bigg

    Hi Pete;

    I am unsure of your three date rule. I am wary of anything that formulaic.

    I consider you a good friend I am sure I would have flunked your three date rule.

    For me sex needs a better foundation than what 10-12 hours of three dates imparts.

    Maybe I simply have a slower world view.

    But you have to understand any sex during this emotional journey is rebound sex, and such things can be as corrosive as acid to a new relationship.

    Be careful buddy. We all want you happy long term.

    Not sure I heard Pete call it a rule, but said he was excited and had no expectations. Heck, it's a date, a third one at that. Dinner and wine. Sounds nice to me!

    Kiss & tell? Waking up in his bed after a ridiculously good night. He's still asleep. I think I wore him out.

    Gay and out ;-)

    Out and about as it were:thumbsup: Congrats Pete:slight_smile:

    If the two of you have time/inclination perhaps he'd like it if you took him to breakfast? Although he might want to make you breakfast...

    Of course Sunday brunch is always an option if you're willing to wait a couple hours. Now whatever could you do to fill the time...? :wink:

    Well done Pete! :icon_bigg

    There's a scene in Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five where Billy Pilgrim is transported to another planet along with a woman he never met before so that they can procreate and teach these beings what it's all about (at one point Pilgrim does insist that the lights be dimmed). The beings that brought him there are completely invisible and can only be heard.

    From us "invisible beings"; congratulations! It's fun to have someone to tell and gives us "mature" folk a great deal of hope!

    Enjoy the rest of the day.
