My friend Bill has been seeing someone “special” for a couple of weeks. When I caught up with him yesterday, he mentioned that he was already having second thoughts about her. I asked why and he said she turned him down when he made a move.
The same guy who was just whining about not finding someone he liked during the holidays, has decided that he is unsure of someone because she wants to wait for sex. Listen, I know men are always going to want sex. I get it. I just don’t get how men claim to want someone special yet are so quick to bail when she isn’t ready to hop in bed when he does.
What is that about? I am not just asking as a woman who is completely annoyed. I asking as a dating blogger who needs solid answers: What is wrong with waiting? Why is asking for more time viewed as some form of rejection?
If your standard operating procedure with relationships is to hook up first, ask questions later (no judgement!), why can’t you pursue people who think the same?
I know it’s not just guys who want to get things hot quickly. A lot of women like to know what a man is working with early on. Are women also bothered by men who prefer to wait?
Let’s discuss! Are you for or against waiting? How does dating ADD factor into your decision to waiting or not wait?

(Sigh) Pathetic little horny Bill. Suppose the woman is in the midst of a herpes outbreak or has a terrible case of the clap and thought perhaps she should wait until the ABT cleared it. But little horny Bill wants to bail because he didn’t get ‘it’ wet. If she is burning, she should given Bill what he longs for, throwing caution and precaution to the wind. His impatience will mock him as he observes the green ’sewage’ in his underpants.
