I wonder what people's thoughts on what were the differences between:

1)hooking up specifically

2)having the intention of hooking up after a date

3) and dating for a serious relationship

Do these different intentions impact the outcome of dating?

For me, sex is important. I want pleasure at the center of a relationship, but that doesn't mean I dont want all the other good stuff that comes with a connection with someone. Yet, dating for a serious relationship seems to require putting sex lower down in priorities.

Its seems to require spending alot of time in activities that aren't sex related only to find that the relationship comes to an end once sex is introduced. Or it gets unnecessarily complicated and the games start.

Or, you just focus on hookups/dates with sex and it somehow stops you from getting to know someone in the fuller dimension.

Also, how does this relate to seduction?
