kangaroo Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 I’m not from the US, I come from another culture. What does “dating” mean in the US for a guy? What are the expectations, rules etc? Timelines? Specifically NY?
act00 Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 What culture are you from? What area, and perhaps you can expand on what would be considered "normal dating" for your culture? I'm sure there are people who post here who come from similar background or have experience in this area and can probably better guide you on some do's and don't's with a little more information, particularly if your culture is vastly different than what one might expect in the US or NY.
Trail Blazer Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 Are you from Australia? Or do you just like kangaroos? Are you from a western culture, or something entirely different?
d0nnivain Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 I’m not from the US, I come from another culture. What does “dating” mean in the US for a guy? What are the expectations, rules etc? Timelines? Specifically NY? Age plays a part. Unfortunately the term itself is vague. Mostly it's defined by the parties. People have all sorts of expressions for the same behavior -- dating, hanging out, seeing each other. Anyway, assuming you are out of college dating generally involves making a plan in advance to spend scheduled time with another person at a particular location doing a specified activity i.e. having dinner on Friday at 8 p.m at Chez Romantico or grabbing coffee at The Bean on Saturday at 3:00 p.m. You ask shortly after meeting or connecting via social media. You plan between 3 - 10 days out, depending on the activity & everybody's schedule. 1st meets from OLD should be relatively short, inexpensive & public. You follow up in a day or two to suggest the next outing. After doing this for a while (or even once) some people may have sex. Whether you discuss or require exclusivity before sex is up to both of you. Any request that you have a date in at somebody's place is generally construed as a request for sex.
Author kangaroo Posted November 23, 2017 Author Posted November 23, 2017 Sorry, didn’t have time to post much detail. I’m from the uk. Multiple datingbisnt something I’m used to. I don’t get it, why spread yourself thin, if you like someone why not get to know them and put your effort into that instead of spreading yourself out between multiples? You meet someone you like, things are going well, why stay in a dating site? Just curious as it seems different back in the UK. Am in my late 30s
smackie9 Posted November 23, 2017 Posted November 23, 2017 Ya but why limit yourself if there is something else better? You can enjoy someone's company, and just "like" them, maybe only feel sexually towards them, but not emotionally......why miss out in getting some? Most still are looking for fireworks/love at first site, but that can take time, so why not hit that along the way.
