On the prowl

I was talking to a friend I know and she was asking my opinion (imagine that..) on a recent date she had. Well, she met him online and they e-mailed and talked on the phone for a while before deciding to meet in person.
I, for one, like the idea of online dating. (been there, done that) Why, you ask? Well, in my opinion, you can talk to a person and know them to a certain degree before you meet them in person. Think of it this way...if you meet in a bar, for example, you know nothing about them, except what they tell you. And unless you carry around a lie detector, you have no idea if what they say is a load of bull. If you read about them online, at least you know they are telling everyone the same thing as you, (maybe all lies too) but at least it is anonymous until you are comfortable with this person, and if you aren't (comfortable that is) then you don't ever have to see them face to face. Plus, I am one who believes you trust your gut feeling, and you can tell a lot from talking on the phone and then meeting in a public place. But that's another blog for another day!
Back to my friend.... She said they met for a drink in a public place. ( Good choice, I say!) She thought he was hot, and seemed like a nice guy. As they talked about numerous subjects, the topic of sex came up. (doesn't it always!) Well, he said he was very sexual, and as the night went on he kept bringing the topic back to sex. (don't they all?)
You have to understand that my friend is recently single and hasn't been in the dating scene for, let's just say.. a long time! So, for you girls out there who have been around like I have, you probably know where this is going! Her first question was; Are all men like that? And my wise answer was;"Hell yeah!". Unlike me, she is a good girl, who wouldn't dream of having premarital sex or anything, so she was a little shocked. I said "welcome to the modern world of dating". She wanted to know how I handle men like that. (which is all of them!) I told her that if he wanted more than just roll in the hay, then he would wait to have sex. ( that is the right answer.....I know what you're thinking!) She should spend some time with him and see if there is more to him than making her just another notch on his belt.
Why do men always seem to want sex right off the bat? I know you men are getting all upset right now saying not all men are like that. Well, I would agree....but most are. But on the flip side girls....there are a lot of women out on the prowl also. I think you need to set you up your own standards and morals before you get into this situation and then stick to it. Boy or girl, you need to be true to yourself, watch your own back, and stick to your principals. You owe it to yourself! And believe it or not, you will find someone with the same stand as you.
I will keep you updated on what happens with her! Stay tuned! lol
