There are two types of dating IMO:
Sports-dating or ‘sports sex’. Shagging for kicks, fun with no real intention of finding ‘love’. Guys who do this don’t kid themselves. Girls who do this pretend to themselves that they are ‘unlucky in love’ and having to kiss alot of frogs.
The second type is the serious type. Looking for a mind, someone with shared interests, who is serious about finding the right person.
The later tends to hold off giving up the goods I bet.
I don’t believe theres much of a blend between the two above.
