So let's say you've been dating someone for a while, no sex yet, and then they tell you that they're not really interested in a relationship, and just want a friends with benefits, no strings attached sort of dealie. Should you dump them right away, or should you stick with the idea that you can convert them into a relationship, and let them get away with casual sex for a while? I've met guys like this before, and haven't been able to convert them.. maybe it's just a maturity thing..

With all of the sexually transmitted diseases out there, especially stuff like AIDS, I'd want to make sure I knew the person really well before I did anything like that. It's not like you can just go off and get a shot like you could back in the day when you only had to worry about VD or gonorrhea.

For me sex is synonymous with love and love is synonymous with respect. Lots of women think of pick-up lines as cheap and demeaning. Safety though, is of utmost importance and of course the person's approach has got to be right.

I don't really think that a physical relationship is mandatory when it comes to relationships. Kissing is really all you need for the first few weeks (and even months). Sex is always better if you wait in my opinion

That depends on the man or the woman involved in the relationship. Many people want sexual relationships with no strings attached, while others feel that this is demeaning. Personally, I don't believe in casual sex. When you are having casual sex, you are only using the other for your pleasure. You don't really care about the person you are using. This doesn't sound human to me. I would prefer to really learn to love the person I want to have sex with first. So, I would say "no casual sex."

Ok this is a big off-topic but last night, I was sitting in a dive bar with my friend and a guy walked up to me and said "Screw me if I am wrong, but haven't we met before?" I think pick up lines like that are really predatory.. and guys should only use them if they want to earn a black eye.
