What's up everybody,

Have seen this new girl once each weekend for the last two weekends.

First date, we had drinks at a few bars near her place, then we went back to her's and had sex and I ended up staying the night (she insisted, I was fine with it as it was like 330am). I left in the morning and she gave me the same, passionate (tongue in my mouth) kiss she was giving me all the night before. A couple of days passed and I initiated contact and setup the second date, which just happened the other night at my place. The original plan was dinner at my place, then head out to a bar near my apartment, but needless to say, clothes came off and we never left my apartment after dinner. We hooked up at least 3 times in the evening, she slept over (slept naked - didn't do that the first time), and we hooked up a final time in the morning. I made her a cup of coffee, which we chatted over for 20ish mins before she left. At the door, she kissed me again, but this time gave me a really strong hug, for like 3 seconds, after the kiss...not sure if this is meaningful of deeper emotions she might have or what the case is (to me, it doesn't really matter what it means/I don't care/it won't change my perspective).

All in all, I am pretty content with my dating life currently (not sure if I want a LTR with this girl or ANY girl at the moment); however I turn to you for recommendations on just HOW to proceed after 2 successful dates that both resulted in hooking up. Typically, I just try to see a girl who I am really attracted to only once per week early-on. One key reason I prefer this method with girls I have hooked up with is that I have found that despite having many passions (sports I am in leagues for, lifting weights, etc), I am sometimes susceptible to one-itis if I really dig the girl. For example, last night I removed the pillowcase she slept on and put it in my laundry hamper, since it still smells strongly of her hair/perfume (which I would probably indulge myself into if I had not removed it). I am trying my best to see other women as well and am staying very busy with work, friends, activities, hobbies, etc. Basically, I want to just continue seeing her about once per week until she initiates to make things happen more regularly.

Is it right to just stay the course, and proceed to setup a third date in a few days (i.e. wednesday evening reach out to her)? Partly I would like to see her initiate contact - last week after I arranged the second date, she texted me a few days later just to see how my week was going and make mindless text chitchat (which, typically, I am not a fan of, but understand some women like this to build some trust/rapport - I never let it go past 4-7 messages to avoid wasting time texting and potentially lowering her interest).

For you men, how do you proceed with things after two successful dates? Granted, the second time was just me making dinner and watching a movie while we had sex all night, but I count it anyways. What sort of events/activities would you recommend for a third date at this point? And is reaching out maybe 3-4 days after this second date reasonable?

Hey BFP1991,

I agree with Fuck This, I think you have her locked in and for your questions:

For any date you should Keep It Simple Stupid. Whether it's the first, third, fifth it doesn't matter you should always follow the typical blueprint. Having her locked in should make this easy but I understand where you're coming from because you feel like you can't really repeat dates because you've already done that; and it becomes very boring and stagnant if you only do the same thing. You can both be bored with this, but I find the longer you're together (LTR) the more you can break the rules of dating.

Ideally she should initiate contact and be chasing, whether she's saying how much fun she had or starting idle chit chat it's to get your attention. If she doesn't, following up in 3 - 4 days is perfectly fine and keeps her in rotation. Girls will play games to see if you will message them first, sometimes you have to because they don't want to appear to be throwing themselves at you. That works fine if you're literally only messaging her to arrange to meet.

It's definitely about managing her expectations at the moment though. Keep at it man.
