How many of you are honest at some point when it comes to dating about your intention

[Maleficent]

And another thing, I don't know about others, but my experience has been that if you are open and honest in the beginning you get one of two responses:

 

1. They prove to be less committed to the idea of honesty, shrug, intimidated by/from it and bail, so you are spared the BS....

2. They see that being honest is acceptable, that games are not the intent and they feel more comfortable about opening up. Most people want to be honest, but many are under the impression that dating/relationships is about fabricating some kind of façade to engage in a game....unfortunately some do look at it as a game.

 

I would agree 100% if your 'some' was acutally 'most'

and with online dating, people actually see all the possibilities so it's hard to commit to one person when you are talking to three other hot guys/girls

You get what you attract. I'm honest and I tend to attract honest people

 

Im honest but tend to attract dishonest single women

Absolutely honest, and make it known pretty quickly.

Honestly, and I don't mean it in a negative way, but I did not understand what you want. I just understood you don't want to wait and waste your time before sex. But you want a LTR or casual? I didn't get it, could you clarify?

 

Blu,

 

You don't fully get me. I'm not only about sex. I'm saying that I put it all out there, that's all.

 

As per sex, I don't have rules. I know early on whether a woman wants a physical relationship or not, my deal is that at my (our) age, we do what adults do, consenting adults and proceed with a mature relationship.

 

I DO NOT DO CASUAL. I am always hoping for a LTR and I make that clear as well!

Pretty much right off the bat if it comes up "So what are you looking for in a relationship"?

 

"Ultimately an exclusive long term commitment but no need to rush anything. What are you looking for?"

 

If the answer doesn't match up then most likely on to the next one (after sex, of course!).
