We are extremely close to shutting down this thread for the same reasons the PUA thread was shut down. While some of the time this thread contains actual discussion with people asking help and people giving nice advice, it often gets derailed by rubbish that should not be here. The moderation team will be trying to steer this thread in a different direction from now on.
Posts of the following nature are banned: 1) ANYTHING regarding PUA. If your post contains the words 'alpha' or 'beta' or anything of that sort please don't hit post. 2) Stupid brags. You can tell us about your nice success stories with someone, but posts such as 'lol 50 Tinder matches' are a no-no. 3) Any misogynistic bullshit, including discussion about rape culture. 4) One night stands and random sex. These are basically brags that invariably devolve into gender role discussions and misogynistic comments.
Last chance, guys. This thread is for dating advice and sharing dating stories. While gender roles, sociocultural norms, and our biological imperative to reproduce are all tangentially related, these subjects are not the main purpose of the thread. Please AVOID these discussions. If you want to discuss them at length, go to PMs or start a blog. If you disagree with someone's ideologies, state that you disagree with them and why they won't work from a dating standpoint and move on. We will not tolerate any lengthy derailments that aren't directly about dating.

it is a silly idea born of conservative views on sex and gendered double standards, but sit back and watch the mildly sexist explanations fly!

No that's not why . The reason why is because when you want to have a relationship with someone sex is going to be involved, and you should enjoy it, sex is fun, it's intimate, and most of all, it's fucking fun. The reason I say don't have it on the first date is because from the first date to the third date is a time when you should be feeling each other out, getting to know each other, that way, when you share the experience on maybe the 3rd or 4th date if things are all going well, you enjoy the other person in a more intimate way. You've known them 3-4x longer at that point as a partner even if it's just a week or so that has gone by. It's not that you don't want a girl who fucks on the first date, but you don't want to seem so sexually needy that you only asked the girl out to fuck her; that's not a date, that's a booty call, which is not how you want your relationship to start out as. If she's down, great, you know that on the third date she's gonna do it with you, and maybe on the second even if you want that, but you don't want a date to be a booty call, those are two different things.
NOW it's time for the archaic haha, but I stand by what I say here, but no one else has to accept this part; Sex is giving someone else a part of you and letting them keep it, you don't get to take what you present to them back - whether that be your image naked, the feeling of the act, any of that, you can't erase any of it from their memory. If you give that present out to everyone, you lose the intimacy of it and the love behind it, you don't just give yourself away to anyone who wants a peice, you give yourself away to the myriad of people who will come back ask for another piece and who you'd want to keep coming back for another piece of you. No one has to accept this part though, that's a personal philosophy.

Had a pretty bad scare when I hooked up with a girl, and she informs me I should get checked after the dome broke. I prefer to know what I'm getting involved in before I'm balls deep in a chick.

what's wrong with (often times underaged) girls approaching you in the bar, feeling their way up your crotch with their hand and whispering in your ear that they would like to continue it with their mouth? At least you know they like to give head, you should be happy about that. If you are looking for a cheap girl to have some short-sighted fun with that is (believe it or not, it actually is not that uncommon).
Please keep in mind that everyone has their own opinion about what they are looking for and how a relationship should look like; if your sort of relationship is a series of booty calls, nothing wrong with it, if it is long walks in the park without touching the partner for the first 4 months, that is just as fine. If you are the boy-toy of a girl, no problem, if she trades her body for your money, no problem either. As long as it makes both you and your partner happy in the intensity, length, form and intimacy of the relationship, it is just the right way to do it. Relationships are to make both of you happy after all.
And it isn't arcaic to not wish for the girl to jump into bed with you on the first date, it is just a different approach. Just like not everyone needs to go out there and apply PUA scemes to get a girlfriend, as the PUA is mostly based around just getting laid, not about finding a girl that you really get along with. That does not mean that you cannot find a girlfriend with PUA methods and that you cannot learn anything from how to appeal to the woman you take an interest in and want to get to know, but it primarily caters to a different approach. As others pointed out, most people try to find a best-friend-forever-Soulmate-Girlfriend, and sex does get in the way of it, as while it does get you much closer, you probably won't find out for quite some time if it is the only thing holding you together, and you end up just as empty as you started (it will end eventually if it is just based on sex), blinded by the physical appeal, but a bit more sad. Even though it might have been a fun ride.
I guess what I'm trying to say is - have respect for different opinions on relationships and life styles. Don't dismiss one as archaic or the other as shallow, they are both right as long as they make both partners happy short-term and long term.
I am pretty sure that we don't want to discuss gender stereotypes and sexism in this thread. I got the advice from docvov in the first place. I understand why he said it and his advise is true for most first dates. And we don't have to dig deeper in it, because, in the end, i never was interested in tips for the first date but in tips how to survive the 3 weeks up to it. I am gonna try to slow communication down a bit and if that does not work, i will have to take the bitter pill. In the end, it's either just having found the girl for a relationship or being destroyed by the rejection once we see each other. That's the basic trade-off of dating, just maybe a bit more drastic then usual online dating with 3 messages, phonecall, date.

Reread that all. You're a smart dude. Those are all ideas and opinions shaped by a conservative view on sex and it is obvious! The booty call thing is silly. Booty calls are someone comes over, you get off, they get out.
Not that there is anything particularly wrong with having a more conservative view point as long as you're not throwing double standards out there for prospective partners and stuff, but that is def conservative thinking!

Same thing for either of you guys since it is basically the same argument: one date or three or five, how do you know how clean she is short of asking for a notarized test receipt? And even then, until you've had the whole exclusive chat, how do you know she's not seeing other dudes?

What does girls at a bar have anything to do with sex on a first date? Why are they underage?? That whole first paragraph and a lot of your post is dripping with dislike for people, particularly women, who like sex. Yeesh. How do you call people who enjoy sex cheap, and then complain about not being judged lol

liking sex does not make you cheap, but hopping into bed with a stranger on the first chance you get probably does.
Again, what is with the straw manning about hopping into bed with a stranger?? Not that this kind of judgement is any better, but we're talking about going on a date with someone, enjoying your night, and sleeping together.
From your perspective, whose job is it to make sure to make sure you don't have sex on the first date? Is a guy bad if he wants it?

Just my personal opinion. If I don't know any of that stuff then I do not want an exclusive relationship with that person.
I would rather not fuck at all then fuck with a condom, its unbearable.
That's totally fine and valid, and that's a hell of a lot better reason than the ones I was expecting to see. Faith momentarily restored in people, hell yeah!!
my point still stands: you go out with someone a few times and you want to sleep with them, how do you know they're clean, other than going by their word, which is the same as you'd do if you were sleeping with them at the end of your first date?
I mean I wouldn't do the no condom thing until the exclusive chat, so you're a bit different than the other dude haha. But that is still pretty similar. You don't really know how trust worthy someone is, even after a few weeks or a month of dating them.

I think you are mixing up my posts and some one else's. I would never sleep with some one if I don't know that they are clean. I don't trust random women.
I disagree with the last point, my field of study is psychology so personally it's easy for me to see whether some one is trustworthy or not after a while.
If I can't figure it out then they are too secretive to be worth a relationship
Im not sure why conservative has gotten such a negative meaning to it. Being conservative, having old-fashioned values, having a strong opinion on topics does not have to be bad. It only gets bad if you force it on somebody else.

I agree a lot with this part of your post Cirqueenflex.
The reason why a lot of people think sex on first date is a bad idea (and imo, they're right about it), is because many people enjoy sex to the point where the rest of the relationship takes the back seat, and they basically stay in the 'relationship' because of the sex only. It's not wrong per se, but if you're looking for something serious and more long-term, perhaps staying away from it for at least a few dates to ensure you actually enjoy each other on, I don't know, personal / intellectual level before getting physical makes all kinds of sense.
It can be a lot harder to decide that nah, this isn't going anywhere, after you've knocked boots with someone.
