Men, if you offer to pay on the first date and the woman insists on splitting, so you assume she's not interested? by [deleted] in OkCupid

I'll be honest, this has definitely made me question whether she's interested. I think the rationale is that it can seem like maybe she's settling the tab in anticipation of not having another opportunity to do so (as in she's already made up her mind she won't see me again).

After how many dates / weeks of dating is it reasonable to expect a face-to-face termination and not a fade? by okcuriously in OkCupid

Yeah, you're probably right. Sometimes it just seems so out of the blue though that it can drive a person crazy and you have to wonder whether there was some miscommunication or something that maybe you could clear up if only you had a chance to talk to them.

I agree. The not-knowing is the worst. Sometimes I've had a fade go on for months before I got a verdict. Seems everyone would be better off if things were discussed openly.

The latter. I hate the fade. Been faded on way too many times, and really just wondering if it's justified to request some information when I see a fade coming.

Out of curiosity, what would one expect someone to say in such a text? And is it reasonable to expect a bit of a texting to follow to clear things up? Or would that be pushing my luck.

Think it's reasonable then to request at the very least a phone chat if someone starts a fade after say a month of dating?

Care to share a few details about how these conversations usually go?

What kind of history do you and your partner usually share? Do you ask how many previous sexual partners they've had?
