Alas, my customs are quite different to some I have witnessed here. It seems our rules of social engagement are as different as our biology.

May I be so bold as to ask what is the modern dating etiquette these days?

My regards in advance.

If this is who I think it is, you shouldn't worry so much. She's very easily pleased and just wants your affection.

(Anonymous) 2016-03-17 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. Yes, I know. In truth, I believe the greatest way of showing my affection is to offer my devotion and protect it diligently. I am not a man who touches others carelessly. Will she be satisfied with such attention?

A part of love is wanting your happiness as well. Tell her what you are comfortable with and not and be open to her doing the same. She's likely just as unsure as you are.

Then you are saying I must take the lead in this instance? How would I politely raise the issue, though?

(Anonymous) 2016-03-17 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not saying you must take the lead. She may be willing to as well. What I am saying is to be open with communication. It sounds like you two are still getting to know each other so you just need to be open with how she makes you feel, things you like and dislike and so on.

I believe I should be happy to, were I possessed of nothing to fear. That is to say my surest way of disappointing her would be to open up about my emotions. They are not what most people would call standard.

(Anonymous) 2016-03-17 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
She may have similar fears about herself. Standard is something that only defines what is common and no one will be exactly like it. If you fear it so much, see if you can get her to open up and if that may ease your fears.

It is worth trying, I suppose.

Thank you.

Make sure that you have a clear understanding of your partner's tastes and comfort levels. Don't move too quickly. Never hesitate to do something nice for them, just because you want to. Dates don't have to be to some fancy place! Even a nice evening at home can do.

And most importantly! It doesn't matter what others think your dating life should be like, you'll find something that works for the two of you.

Something that works? At this present moment, I fear nothing shall work.

What sort of fun things can one do at home?

(Anonymous) 2016-03-17 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
There are plenty of things one can do in the privacy of home.

I've heard board games are fun.

(Anonymous) 2016-03-17 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Games? Thank you. Which would you suggest?

(Anonymous) 2016-03-17 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
take two of them and swap the pieces, obv

(Anonymous) 2016-03-17 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
That sounds... very pleasant. She would enjoy the reversal, do you think?

(Anonymous) 2016-03-17 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
anyone who doesn't, you're prob better off elsewhere. js.

I've heard one called Monopoly is good.

(Anonymous) 2016-03-17 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose the game is worth one try, then.

Though now I've done my research, I know one former associate of my country would state it is hardly representative of market forces.

(Anonymous) 2016-03-17 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
That associate can go jump in an oasis.

It's a game!
