Oh I'm fine with monogamous dating when I have known the person a while. I have done monogamy and I don't have an issue with it. I often decide to not bother with dating others - on my own- without discussion and the other person, I don't mind if they date others, casually. I usually like to have that discussion outwards though, about how they'd like to proceed at the six month mark. But that's not monogamy from the first date. And the expectation *without* the talk of monogamy I would find a big fat red flag about communication problems. I just get very baffled when I meet someone who monogamously dates, and expects monogamous dating from the first date(to me that isn't dating. That's courting - you have serious intentions and you are actively perusing something. And to court someone you don't know seems... I don't understand. I would find that frightening). I have only run into it a rare few times. Once in the UK and a few times from American butches in the Midwest. I can't pretend to understand, but it's a foreign concept to me. And I know they view me in an... "Unfavourable" light lol. I've been told in no uncertain terms what a girl "doesn't do" if she isn't an "unfeeling she-wolf" I think the term was lol. And also a few other odd things. But I'm chalking it up to just regional cultural differences for now, and background. but I'm still interested in the reasons. Thanks G. And yes tinker belly, just those who are monogamous from the first date. I "get" monogamous dating after lengthy dating. Last edited by imperfect_cupcake; 10-14-2014 at 08:48 PM. |
