61 Times People Eavesdropped On Someone’s Hilarious Conversations About Dating (New Pics)

Dating experts describe today's dating scene as back-to-front, messy, but still exciting and full of possibilities.

"I meet a lot of singles who are very happy to have [intercourse] with someone they met that same day, but who’d die before they sent two texts in a row. Honestly, that’s not how we’re designed to date. Early [intercourse] makes relationships more complicated than they need to be because it’s very hard — for women especially — not to bond with a intimate partner," dating coach Kate Taylor told Bored Panda.

"I wrote a whole book on this, called Not Tonight, Mr. Right. We like to think we can have fun, meaningless [intercourse] with anyone who catches our eye, but then we spend the whole of the next day preoccupied with whether or not we’ll hear from them again, even if we didn’t like them, or the [intercourse], that much."

So the solution seems to be getting to know the person first before diving into bodily pleasures.

"We try to appear nonchalant and unbothered, which is SO hard when [intercourse] has caused every attachment hormone - like oxytocin and vasopressin—to flood your system with 'Pick me! Love me!' vibes. Postponing [intercourse] makes dating really simple," Taylor explains.
