ORIGINAL: LuckyAlbatross As many have said- it's not the sex on the first date (or second) that's the issue- it's the ridiculous justification. Despite what you'll hear preached about, playing and fucking on a first (or second) meeting is extremely commonplace. The issue is of course- are they doing it for the right reasons? There was this one guy once... I met him at a party. We exchanged phone numbers - not e-mail addresses, but phone numbers. He called. We decided to meet the following Thursday for dinner. During dinner he told me a funny story about someone he used to know. He met her while walking down the street. She was upstairs at a house, out on the balcony. She interested him. He stopped and asked her for a drink of water. She was going to hand it down to him. He said something to the effect of "let me in, I'll come up for it." She hesitated. He waited. She invited him up. Eventually, in the course of their conversation, they decided to go out together. He grinned at her and said that he wanted to do more. She demured. He just broke it down to her this way: "We're going to go out, right? And when we do, we'll go on a couple of dates, dinner, etc and eventually, we'll be winding up in bed, right?" She answered "right." He said, "So let's just cut to the chase. We'll still go out." And they did. So, here's the thing. He told me all this to set me up to head to a motel with him. He knew it. I knew it. I could have gotten all offended. I could have thought him tacky and otherwise to bring up some other girl he'd been with. I could have done and thought a lot of things. What I did was finish my drink, fold up my napkin, laugh and say "cutting to the chase sounds real good. Makes sense to me." He finished his drink, folded his napkin, picked up the check and said "let's get out of here. Where's the nearest motel." I pointed it out to him and away we went. See, while he was cutting to the chase, I'd already made up my mind that that's exactly where I wanted to go with him, and it wouldn't have taken even one little sentence of that story to convince me. I just thought it was cute. In August, we'll be celebrating 5 years together. Not bad for cutting to the chase. And yes, I supposed people could have called it a lame story, but I just thought it was cute. juliet
