I like to think of myself as having a traditional view on boy-girl relations. This includes:
a) boy courting girl (not the other way around. No matter how emancipated and independent we are, the simple truth is any human will value more something they've worked hard to earn, and not what's been dropped into their laps).
b) both parties having respect for boundaries. That means he not inviting her over for dinner, then movies, then trying to get her to stay the night, after she has said no at least thrice. It also shows he's listening to what she's saying, and respects her decisions. For her part, that would include not leading him on (especially if she knows nothing will come of the liaison) in any fashion.
Traditional would include not trying to kiss the girl on the second date, and not even thinking she would allow you (even she she does), putting your best foot forward and keeping it there for as long as you can (and not swopping pants infront of me while telling me you like to be "at ease". One can only imagine just how much at ease you are).
Okay, okay, I'm hardly the epitome of wonderful myself, but really, I reckon I know what I'm looking towards, and I can recognise that some people just don't cut.
This goes against my father's advice: "40% is pass mark, so lower your standards"
Would you believe it???
