I kept running into the same line on Reddit. Sleep with a guy on the first date and he’ll lose interest. I’d scroll past it, see some version of it in another thread, and scroll past that one, too. Then a friend said it to me in person. Hearing it from somebody I actually knew made me stop and think about the claim.
Say you go out with someone and the conversation is good enough that you lose track of time. You’re attracted to each other. By the end of the night, you both want to sleep together, so you do. I can picture waking up the next morning and still wanting to hear the end of the story he was telling over dinner. I wonder how often the guy wakes up thinking the same thing.
Maybe one of you only wanted that night. Maybe you’d both like to see each other again, and by date three you realize you have about forty-five minutes of conversation in you. It’s a first date. There’s a lot you still have to find out. At least you already know there’s some physical chemistry.
I’d love to hear from people who slept together on their first date and ended up in a relationship. Who sent the first text the next day? Did you already have a second date in mind when you said good night, or did one of you spend the morning waiting to see if the other would ask?
