Third date at his house?

[Datingagain]

I have (just) started seeing someone new. My sister knows his brother, so not a total stranger. Have been on two (great) dates already, over the course of a few weeks. Can't meet up that often as we both have DC. I really like him, seems a genuinely nice guy (though have been wrong about this in the past!).

We are supposed to be going for dinner next weekend, but he has now suggested (him) cooking for me at his house. I feel a bit weird about this - although I do like him, I'm not ready to sleep with him. Well, I could, but feel if this is going to be worthwhile, we should wait a bit longer. And I wonder if by saying yes to coming to his, he's going to expect more.

I know I should just reply and say this, but feel a bit confused. If he's genuinely a good one, I know he'll understand etc, but am I being a prude? Or sensible? Please advise - have totally lost my dating rules / radar. Thanks.

Yes, what SGB said. He's showing off his skills and his nest so you can see he's house-trained I think. He's probably also thinking about how nice it would be to sleep with you, but you don't have to do anything you don't want to!

As per SGB's last post.

This will also give you a good chance to rifle through his bathroom cabinet get to know him better.

I had dates 1, 2 and 3 at my house, we didn't sleep together. Its not a given we didn't even snog.

Maybe he is a particularly good cook and thinks this is the best way of snaring you. My rather plain DH had particularly "colourful" 20s due to him knowing his roux from his béarnaise. Though I do agree the 3rd date thing may well also be a factor.

And so, what we want to know now - is - when did 3rd date happen, and did they sleep together? And what books did he have??

so what if I invited someone for date number 3 at my house? would that be suggesting I want sex?

going for 2nd official date this week, but its hard to get sitters more than once a week and already have plans with friends on those nights. So was going to suggest film and me cooking (kids asleep upstairs)

Is this a big no no? we're being honest to each other about how far we want to go etc, but dont want to give wrong impression

sorry for thread hijak!

god but it get all boring, cooking, watching telly shite later can't it. go out and enjoy yourself. if it all works out between you there'll be plenty of time for nights in. i'm with you - enjoy the 'dating' stage for longer. if you want to shag him you can always go back to his after.

i wouldnt say that him offering to cook a meal means sex

the bloke i am 'seeing' came to my house and cooked for me and we didnt have sex

and smokin so glad all is going well (we need to meet up soon and compare notes lol) and sure as your dc will be there, will be a clue of no sex

but if you wanted to then make sure you have a lock on your bedroom door rofl x
