Guy meets girl and starts talking. Little chit chat goes back and forth, names, what you do for a living, part of town you live in, kids/no kids, blah blah blah.....then....scary theme song music pipes in......drum roll please.....he asks.....
Do you date much?
Heart beats a few extra beats and you look at him as if you really didn't hear him and you wish you could crawl under a rock. There are all sorts of things you think......like...uh, no I don't, there really are no other men but you who think I'm attractive and frankly I'm a bit worried about you now cuz you've talked to me now for 5 minutes straight and haven't found a way to crawl out of here without me noticing. Or.....yea, I date all the time, take the guys home to meet all my kids and start choosing colors to wear at the wedding that my kids will be a HUGE part of. Or....date? isn't that a fruit that has a pit in it?? Or.....stare at him with dreamy eyes and say...honey, all those other thousand men mean nothing to me now that you've come into my life....sigh. cue up Beyonce's Single Ladies video......let's dance honey...c'mon....
Now I know what my response is and it seems to get the conversation going again, However, I'd really like to know how others answer this, and what guys really want to know and depending on the answer given, what they hear and what they find out about a woman when she answers that.......

Report AbuseWe want to know if you are a nice person. We are busy looking at you from angles, on the sly, but we want to see, visually, what you look like as well. Its not a quick glance thing like women can get away with. We need to absorb your image. What your saying, yeahhhh,..its bouncing against our frontal lobe, but we need a stsarting place from which to start moving our eyes, while we smile an listen,..some. Being that this is just the beginning of coming in contact with you, we have our own issues of nervousness, as well. Even it we don't show it, we are just as aprehensive, about this early part of getting to know you,..as you are. Some guys hide it better than other men. The "do you date much" question, to a guy, is just a signal that he doesn't want to hit on a sore point related to something really personal, from jump street. He's trying to create space for you to talk, expand upon your life, tell him everything about what makes life liveable for your sanity, and give him time to find a connective thread to be able to chime back in with. Hence, the start of a conversation without a loss of momentum,..an your probably smiling nicely by now,..an low an behold...here come the drinks...:)..just a start to something..

Report AbuseWell we're just looking to see if can continue our conversation with you. Given us a chance to get to know little bit more. We would like to see you in a different light and vice verse after a long day of work really who looks their best. The first date sets the tone to the music and the night. If the question bother you then you should let him know right off back how you feel. A real man wouldn't take you speaking your mind or expressing your feelings as an insult he would listen then he would let you know about his intension.

Report AbuseI don't really understand why that is a deadly question. I think women read more into it then what we are thinking. Its more or less just conversation to find out things about you. if you don't date a lot we may ask you questions more about your work or homelife. If you say yes, we can find out more about your tastes and dislikes as people always have date stories. It's been my opinion that woman are reading more between the lines than what is really there. I think a lot of that is how we socialize from a young age. Females have more complicated relationships and their words can have a lot of twists and turns and hence a lot of analyzing is necessary because of the complicated nature. men not so much.

Report AbuseAw 1 thing is for sure, the guy's style is weak..... He's just playing around, just let him be, Like what I always tell to my friends, Find a guy whom you don't love that much but a guy whom will love you more than anything else..
