I have been having fun meeting people. I met a 67 year old man who seemed well educated and fun; a 47 year old man who was so gentle and sweet; and a 37 year old man from the Caribbean who seemed larger than life. I had great conversation and was happy with their interest. I had one date with the gentle man. The other two arranged dates with me. The older gentleman put his intentions very plainly. He said he was interested in sex and intimacy before we had even met for our coffee date. I said I had really been interested in having coffee and talking about writing. I am having fun but what am I missing? I am 50, I like making love, but just want coffee right now.

You have every right to meet people with the intent to simply start off with coffee. As long as you are upfront about your wants, then you are just fine. I'd say the 67 year old man can take a hike & look for a person that has matching desires!

Talking about Sex right away is a Bad idea but saying that if you ONLY want coffee and talking and not relationship then you need to say it up froNt . Most people would assume you going on dates with them so you want to eventually have a relationship which implies intimacy. But I agree it is too early to talk about sex

Some people are straightforward on sites, some are let's see where it goes starting with coffee, to see how you look like and your personality, that's what I would prefer. The older guy doesn't want to waste time so he's being blunt and is looking for someone who wants the same thing, I wouldn't think it would be rude to say No, and just end it
Thanks for this!
