at what point do you think dating & getting to know someone becomes “leading someone on” ie. when do you feel like someone led you on if after a few dates they say there’s not a connection?

If we go on more than 3 dates. I think by date 3, one already has a fairly decent idea of who the other person is. At least enough to know whether they would like to pursue a relationship or not.

Leading on is when someone specifically says they don’t want to pursue something, but gives ample evidence to the contrary

I don’t think it’s worth trying to figure out when someone else led you on. Nothing constructive comes from assigning blame retroactively, and I don’t think there’s a definitive marker. You would know if you’re leading someone else on if you don’t see them being in your future and you aren’t upfront about it.

me too, i’m getting to know someone right now (two dates) and i truly do not know if a connection could grow. but i feel like the more dates I go on to try & gauge that the worse things become if the answer ends up being that there’s no connection

I don’t know. She isn’t currently like the “only woman in the world” and constantly thinking about just her

I had a girl try to jump to the sex before I wanted to last week, neither of those are exclusive to either gender the way you presented it

The probelm I have with this is like I’m a shy girl and what if the guy is also shy? If the first few dates are awkward but I still see potential im fine with it taking a little longer for a connection to grow but I feel like the guys give up sooner like after 2 dates

I’m sure the person who commented knows that, they’re just using it in that context because they themselves are a girl

Also follow up question to what I commented, how are there people continuously getting in relationship after relationship? That connection is not easy to find I don’t understand how people find it with everyone they go out with
