What else is there initially?
There is no courting process any longer and hasn't been for a decades, a process where one gets to know if a relationship is feasible.
What do you want your gentleman to do.....hang around whilst you get to know each other?
Some may, but the majority will need some sex, on account.
This post of mine is a waste of time, I realise, as AB women have never exepted my opinion (which doesn't bother me) and never will.
