Anwar White explores why dates stall after two or three meetings. He suggests you might not be creating emotional connection, or the men you're dating want sex by the third date and leave if they don't get it. Men often seek sex first and fall in love later; women typically want love first and have sex along the way.

Brenda said, big girl dating for the past eight years. I go on dates, but none go past second or third dates. What should I do? It's hard for me to tell because there could be a variety of different things that are happening. So, for example.
One of the things that I see that happens a lot is that he doesn't feel, like, emotionally connected to you. So this might be a vulnerability issue. The other thing is, a lot of these guys might just be into things that are sexual. So if you're on a third date and you don't give it up, then he's like, okay, I'm gonna just find someone that's easier. Because a lot of these guys are not serious. Like men. They are looking for sex, and then they fall in love along the way. And a lot of women are looking for love and have sex along the way. So, you know, if especially around the third date, since that's like the quote, unquote, golden rule, if that doesn't happen around the third date, they'll probably peace out. So that might be part of what's happening.
