How does dating even work anymore!

After spending 12 years in a relationship that wasn't going anywhere (I know, I know) I've decided to start dating.

Joined POF, spoke to some tossers but found a guy I thought was attractive and who wanted the same things as me.

So we message on there, swap numbers, whatsapp and decide to meet.

Met for an afternoon drink, he seemed lovely, just my type. Peck on the cheek as I was leaving, all good.

Messaged me pretty soon after leaving and said he wanted to see me again. I wanted to see him, so we met the following day too.

Drinks again, all good. Went out for a ciggie, he kissed me - that was fine by me, fancy the pants off him etc.

Messages get very sexual. I played along, enjoyed the flirting.

Now were meant to be meeting tonight. He wants to go somewhere quiet.

To be honest, having not dated for 12 years I'm unsure of etiquette. How do I know he's not just after a leg over? He says he's not, his profile says he's not.

Why is life so difficult?!

Hmmmm? Sex not great when he should/would have been going all out to impress you with what a fantastic lover he is? That does not bode well. It's good you've found out now.

I don't know, the quality of the sex isn't a deal breaker for me. I liked him, he made me laugh and that's more important to me.

Sex can be not great for a variety of reasons but I think it's more about his attitude towards you during sex than necessarily it being the best sex ever, if that makes any sense.,
