Unscientific Data-Gathering

[leahbobet]

Okay. For a variety of reasons, mostly involving long-term relationships, I've not dated very much in the past seven years. It occurs to me I have no idea what's standard.

Of course, I am solving this via silly internet polling. :p

Life's more fun that way.

(Sorry, I know this poll is kinda heteronormative. If I could cash in for the shot that makes me like girls more, I would probably do so at this point out of sheer frustration, but it's not the dynamic I'm trying to figure out at present.)

[Poll #1101787]

Science thanks you.

1) I think it depends on their tone, or emoticon, or whatever. 2) My answer is "right away" based on my personal experience of guys being tricky about this. There is that creepy, dangerous cultural idea that guys need to trick or pressure girls into sex. 3) I hope brains doesn't = smartness in this poll. There are a lot of smart people I wouldn't want to date.

That's actually kinda funny you say that. To me, bringing the subject up right away like that feels like being pressured.
