When I was much younger, I took a girl on a date to the movies. At the end of the date there was some kissing. I also told her I wanted to have sex with her. She got quite angry with me it turned out she never went out with me again and she never spoke to me again. Was that an appropriate response.

No

Were you adults? If so she over reacted.

@lbusche maybe not then. It's hard to say but perhaps she was scared.

No, not at all. There are a lot of wacko women who get easily insulted, and you had the bad luck to meet one. I once asked my instructor in grad school for sex. She said no, but didn't get insulted, and I got an A in the course. She was a very cool lady.

Insulted/creeped out are two entirely different things. A verbal request for sex is quite different from a physical request for sex, especially at a first meeting situation. Ladies, remember to reach over and ,"Grab em by the Bs" at the end of your next date❣??

The original poster indicated he made a verbal request.

'Wacko women' what a terrible thing to say. Just because someone does not want sex and says so, they are wacko??

The use of the word "appropriate" is interesting. I think there is something missing in this story

You probably saved yourself a great deal of frustration down the line. At least you found out early on that this was a relationship which was probably not worth pursuing.

One of the things that it's really important to find out early on in the courtship process is whether the person you are hoping to develop a romantic relationship with likes sex and sees it as an integral part of who they are. Not as some "other" aspect of their being which they parade around on rare occasions like the Crown Jewels.

If this person reacted so negatively to the thought of being physically intimate with you this early on, then imagine what things would have been like two years down the road if you had stuck around. You would have been lucky to receive physical intimacy once a month, and only then after having to grovel for days and weeks on end.

You don't want that. Always pursue women who like men and enjoy sex and you'll be much happier.

Just always remember to understand that not every intimate relationship you become involved in will wind up being a long term thing. She might get bored and move on, and that's perfectly ok. You'll know that it was good while it lasted and that you never had to grovel to have your needs met.

I get your point but, society has always put a lot more pressure on women to restrain their sexual desires than men. While that seems to be changing somewhat, it still exists. Hard to say why she resented his advance to the extent she did.

Really?!
As a hedonist, I absolutely enjoy sex with both men and women.
There is a level of mutual respect and communication that should be involved to be able to obtain mutually satisfying sex. To imply someone doesn't like men or sex because they had self-respect & said, "No" on a date is disrespectful and selfish. I'm digging neither of those traits sexually.

@UnityBrad....

Agreed. Keep in mind that the United States is still steeped very deeply in puritanical ideals.

Sex is still considered "dirty" unless it occures in the missionary position between husband and wife, and only for the purpose of procreation.

This attitude permeates our entire culture, and it especially seems to be prevailent on the outer fringes. One thing which both militant left wing crazies and militant right wing crazies can 100% agree upon is that they hate sex unless it fits in to their narrow window of what they think sex ought to be. Both groups just love to stick their noses in to other people's bedrooms.

These puritanical ideals have been especially tough on women. Any woman who actually admits to liking men and enjoying sex is labeled a whore by the right wing or some kind of helpless victim by the left. They get hit especially hard from both sides.

Meanwhile, those sane folks who reside in the middle just live by the notion that so long as what goes on in the bedroom occurs between two consenting adults and nobody winds up dead or in the hospital, it's nobody elses business.

I certainly hope that the day comes when it's possible for women of sensible mental faculties to openly admit that they enjoy sex and male companionship without being pidgeon holed by a differing insulting labels from both wings of the looney bin.

I think maybe your statement came off as aggressive. There are a LOT of variables that could have affected her response but I think that by phrasing it as a statement rather than a question... ie. Would you like to have sex with me? It makes it feel threatening.

Yes, sex is supposed to be a good thing. And the manner in which people go about it shouldn't be threatening.

Just to clarify things. I was about 18 and it was a second date I believe. I remember it well because it devastated me for awhile.

You didn't mention if this was your first date and your age. It would help to have more information before I could respond.

Well it was here. Hard to say ...thkhvhgetting angry is odd. Simple no or not there yet would suffice.

I meant it was her"s

Not really. Maybe she got angry because he assumed she was a pro. He shouldn't ask us but her....Besides, a woman...or a man....has the right to say NO without having to explain him/herself.

Was she Catholic?

Gimme a break, I'm in recovery for that ❣??

@Emme , yeah, it can do quite a bit of damage. I wish you luck. Hang in there!

@chucklesIII
I'm all good now, well sorta...?
Now I get to do all kindsa fun stuff with NONE OF THE GUILT ❣??

@Emme , very glad to hear it. In all seriousness, I lost someone recently due to suicide that was brought on by depression which was started by Cathology. She was one of the kindest people I had ever met and was a protector in many ways. She never recovered from the guilt they pushed onto her.

@chucklesIII
I'm sorry that happened.
Religion that is oppressive sucks.

You guys weren’t compatible, lucky you got a kiss🙂

It all depends on how you said it, how well you knew her before the date, and so on. Lots of people have sex on the first date, not that I'm recommending it, so the idea that you had to be wrong is wrong.

Unless you were crass about it, I'd say she overreacted. Given the fact that she never spoke to you again and that you are asking about it now, my guess is that you creeped her out by how you asked and you already know the answer to your question.

Reminds me of a funny but true story...I had a date with a nursing student at a local catholic hospital. we went to see Janis Joplin. the event lasted longer then we thought and my date had to call the dorm where she was staying to let them know she was going to be late. when we got back to the dorm, the nuns greeted us at the door. I said good nite to my date and asked if the nun would turn around that I wanted to kiss my date good night. the nun laughed and turned around.

You never mentioned age. And age difference if any. I am not going to assume you were adults.
