any ensight to this would be welcome as its confusing

serial dater dates lots of diff gilrs but wants no intimacy doing the friend thing No relationships

 

whats ED?

Posted

I'm not sure what you mean by no intimacy. No sex?

 

Maybe it's for religious reasons?

Posted

ED = erectile dysfunction.

 

What if the guy is just uncertain and very hesitant about getting physically involved. Would that be a plausible reason.

He may not be a serial dater. Instead, maybe he just wants to take things slowly, making sure that things feel "right" when he's with the right girl?? *shrug*

any other ideas to what the deal is

I think we need a clearer definition of what constitutes intimacy for this guy.

 

To me, intimacy includes kissing, holding hands, maybe a little petting/fondling.

 

If he's ok with stuff like that, and it's just the sex that he's holding off on, then it's generally either an emotional or spiritual reason.

No kissing, holding hands, petting/fondling................

just slight flirty touches

Are you sure he's not gay? Or Ultra-Orthodox Jewish?

 

It could be that he just wants to make sure that you are the right one before committing himself physically.

 

Some men, myself included, need to be sure that we feel "right" about someone before taking it to the next level.

 

To expand, dating is our way of getting to know someone's personality. Sometimes we need to assure ourselves that the person is compatible, as we tend to make a mental connection between physical intimacy and "falling in love".

is the serial dating part of that exploration?

I'm not quite sure of the definition of serial dating. If you mean to date one girl after another after another with no intention of hooking up, those kind of self serving, ego inflating dates...then no, it's not part of MY equation.

 

Of course it takes me weeks to even ask for a phone number, so I might not be the best source of advice on this matter.

 

Me personally, I's been my experience that each progressive step of intimacy is just one more thing to miss and hurt over if it's not the right relationship, so I like to take it slow. About as slow as molasses in January in Alberta.

Surely serial daters don't spend a lot of time with one particular person though, ie, spending the time needed in order to get to know someone?

 

Either that or, as a serial dater, his bank balance is extremely healthy! :laugh:

Why are you calling it 'dating lots of girls' if he is up front with all of them and says he just wants to be friends, and doesn't want a relationship? That doesn't sound like dating at all, much less serial dating.

 

Or am I misunderstanding what you're saying.

ED = extremely drunk

 

No chance of getting it up whilst one's under the influence.

I am confused by the term serial dater also.
