Protocol questions

Since I was out of the dating scene for so long and when I did date before, I really only went out with one person at a time, I have no clue about what you are supposed to do about certain things.

So some questions:

  1. Again I wonder when is it ok to be the pursuer versus the pursued. Have the rules changed for women or is it still really felt and thought that the male should pursue and if the woman does she is perceived as pushy and not desired as much as if she was more unattainable?

    I mean we are talking about base human nature here despite all the modernization and techy ways we approach things. Girls are much more out there nowadays but in some cases we haven’t progressed at all.

  2. If the various guys like different kinds of condoms, do you keep a selection of the different brands/sizes on hand or rely on them to make sure they bring them?

  3. First date? Second date? Third date? Later for sex?

  4. When do you go home with them? 

  5. When do you bring them to your place?

  6. How do you get them to leave if they are at your place or do you let them spend the night? And when is it ok to take off if at their place or do you stay all night?

  7. Where do people learn about this or is everyone just making it up as they go along, which is what I suspect?
