Lets say a guy doesnt even kiss u on 1st date, even though he’s not the shy type. then u kiss 2nd date. then 3rd time is just him telling u to come over late, and u go over (totally unsuspecting)… and he clearly wants u to have sex and even brings up the 3rd date rule, then backs off completely when u say u want to take it slow. WTF… total mixed messages… if ur not gonna be at all sexual on 1st or 2nd time hanging out, then y are u suddenly a complete 180 on 3rd time & accept nothing less apparently

No.

Your third “date” was clearly a booty call. Either accept it or don’t, I won’t make moral judgements, but you are a booty call to him, and the first two dates were just setting you up.

Also, please use your words to communicate.

You might be surprised at the lengths some guys will go to for sex. Not only for the sex, but sometimes also for the feeling of conquering.

So the guy probably never wanted to date me - after it served the end goal of gettin me into bed?  
I guess U’d prolly make real plans for a date for the weekend if u cared, instead all I got was a random late night booty call… He didn’t even invite me out to the party where he was, just called me on way home from it last nite

I was probably stupid for thinkin he could’ve ever wanted real relationship

No problem there, as long as you’re going into it knowing what it is, and not expecting romance or anything else.

[National Geographic Aside]

Watch as I attempt to speak to it in its native language. If this works, it should give us a fascinating insight to their brain structure.

There’s no way to really communicate to the guy that now I’m up for just sex. I mean, what, next time I run into him… ?!

Call him late at night and invite him to come over.

What exactly do you think he called you late at night for? A rousing game of Pinochle?
