The Third Date Rule: Sex

One evening I had a conversation with this guy who had winked at me about two weeks earlier on Match.com (which by the way, I think winking is for cowards, just sayin'.) Our schedules couldn't align because of the holidays and he was slightly anal about using up his minutes on me so he rarely called. Most of our conversations took place via IM, which gave me the opportunity to stare at the screen on this particular evening and know that this guy was a total loser.

"That" guy: So how long do you wait before you have sex with the guy you're dating?

Me: Why are you asking me this, I haven't even said yes to a date with you yet.

"That" guy: Because I have rules about it.

Me: Oh yeah? What rules are those?

"That" guy: Well, for one, the girl I date better have sex with me by the third date.

Me: Really? Huh. Why by the third date?

"That" guy: Well, I'd really prefer the 1st or the 2nd date, but I know girls don't want to appear to be that easy, so the 3rd date for sure or else I know she is a prude.

Me: Hmm or she actually respects herself? I think that is a pretty viable explanation.

"That" guy: Well, whatever. So I'm just telling you up front that I expect sex by the third date.

Me (just staring at the screen in disbelief at what an ass this guy is.)

"That" guy: So you still haven't answered me, how long do you wait before you have sex with the guy you are dating?

Me: Too bad you just blew your chance at finding out.

The thing is, he wasn't the first guy to say this to me. In fact, most guys tell me that girls sleep with them on the first date (this kind of "bragging" gets you nowhere with me) or that they expect it by date 3. What is so magical about the third date? Does their penis turn into a pumpkin at midnight? Do they fear that I will find out on date 4 that they still live with their mom and never commit to another date? This is one rule that I do not get.

So guys, I'd love to hear your explanation of it and ladies have you experienced this kind of sex push as well?

Haha, I have a rule where I won't sleep with a girl until AT LEAST the third date. No way I can reveal my small nipples before that point.
Great post.

I would totally wait for you.
All the way until the 4th date.

Oh yes, small nipples would be a deal breaker. At least she would be invested in dating you by the third date to decide it wasn't a big deal. lol. ;)

Mike you would so wait for me even until the 10th date just because you know I am worth it. So there.

Sigh...
I would have to fight you off honey.
If you can't keep the fish you might as well take a bite out of it.

Dating Diva said...

Fight me off? Um, no.

Take a bite? I thought Nando's video said that teeth are a no-go. lol

wow--the more I learn about straight dating the more I realize the baby Jesus knew what he was doing when he BLESSED me gay.

That guy was a total jerk, but I think I might have dated the brother...twice.

These are awesome tales...keep 'em up!

Dating Diva said...

LOL so his brother didn't make it to the 3rd date?

Returning to the dating scene after about 16 years, I'm really amazed at the current state of affairs -- first, second or third date, you are still basically strangers to each other. Sex without any emotional connection or friendship or shared history, isn't that more like mutual masturbation? Why don't people want to get to know each other first?

I screwed around like that (briefly) in my early 20's, and now for the life of me, I can't remember any of those guys' names. I DO remember the people I cared about...

Anyway, GOOD JOB giving that guy the brush off, what a jerk!
