If you take a girl out to a nice dinner do you automatically expect her to have sex with you? In other words, is dating an exchange?

That was more in response to OP's post...you're right, every interaction is an exchange. But it's not only about sex, everyone gets different utility out of dating whether it's happiness, someone to cuddle with, idk. And yes, I am female but that's irrelevant here

Curious what anyone thinks about cologne? Is it a turn on? I am not really into it.. but I just got a whiff of this dude at the gym and the cologne did something to me 🥰 It was really subtle. I tend to just like the way a man smells (not body odor but just natural scent) and don’t usually like it covered up, but wow this guy tonight 🥵 I might might buy some but i figured it would be gay to ask him “what are you wearing” because that prob isn’t something the bros at the gym do.

I dated someone 15 years older than me and he always lectured me about what did I do wrong. From small things like where to squeeze ketchup on my plate to big things like how to live my life and pivot to a career that his “friends” do so well in right now. Almost everything I did or said he’d follow with some criticism. I ghosted him after another lunch date full of such lectures.
