Zen, I wouldn't explicitly name the Neutral Zone as such. Everyone knows that's what's meant by meeting for coffee, etc, but somehow putting it that way makes it sound cold and uninviting.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
guys only get on dating sites looking for sex
Since you know that's not true, do you want to go into it with that attitude?

If he does want to hook up exclusively, you'll know pretty fast.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I don't actually know that's not true. I figured my attitude was "realistic".

I am a guy. It is not true.

You were just the other day unhappy because you went to a dating thing and met a girl who might like to be friends but didn't seem to want to date you.
And yes, this is a dating site and I'm on it, and I wouldn't mind finding a boyfriend. I'm just freaking out a little at the idea of dealing with something that's emotionally fraught for me, with a person who doesn't know my issues and doesn't really deserve to be burdened with them. And yes, I know I don't have to have sex, but I feel like cutting off the possibility of sex - while making me more comfortable - also cuts off the possibility of a relationship developing with a guy I met on a dating site. I hope I'm being clear; I'm not trying to say "all guys are horndogs who only want one thing from any woman"; I don't believe that. It's the context, the context of a dating site, that makes me feel like sex is *expected*. Which is why I've been generally avoiding dating sites and rarely even check the one I am on.

Dating isn't sex.

One important thing about dating is there is a good chance that successful dating leads to sex.

Right. My original response was actually because I thought Zen meant that guys were on dating sites for sex, as in casual hook-up sex upon meeting.

I think she means just that they are there in hopes that it will ultimately lead to a relationship that includes sex, not necessarily casual or on the first date, though I'm sure that is out there too.
