@LL: 
Simple, avoiding or discarding men that pressure me.

My girl, who is half-way Jahova Witness, and was bought up in the church, once tried to flip the script on me.  She told me that we should stop fornicating, and I agree, but I also told her that we can only be friends and no longer in a committed relationship.  I would never pressure or tell a sista what she can, can't or shouldn't do, but I can only tell her how I will respond to her actions.

When I was out there, dating was never a pressure situation, and I have never walked on "egg shells" with any sista, because I was never concerned about walking away from the deal... no matter how fine she was.

I HEAR YOU DASHON AND WOOD. I FEEL THE PRESSURE DROM WHOEVER I AM DATING. THEY ALWAYS WANT MORE THAN IM WILLING TO GIVE. I JUST WANT TO LOVE ON MY TERMS. WHEN I WANT MORE THEN I  WILL LET THE PERSON KNOW.  IF THEY WANT MORE IT FEELS LIKE PRESSURE.

Totally agree with Dashon on this one.  Maybe when I was younger, I might have caved in to some of the pressure but now, no way.  I am who I am and while I might compromise on some things, sexual pressure isn't one of them.

sunny not just sexual pressure but everyday pressure. I find relationships too much work to maintain. Thats my pressure. I dont like putting

Same as Dashon. Avoiding or disregarding men who pressure me. I refuse to be pressured by anyone. PERIOD!
On June 7, 2010, 9:13 am MsValleyG says:
@Wood: LOL @ down somewhere. You are a mess LOL!
On June 7, 2010, 9:20 am MsValleyG says:
@Loveless: That's that ARIES trait... Too much pressure, we bail especially if we're not ready to go there. Just let dude know where you stand, if he keeps pressuring you, BAIL. At least you communicated what you wanted. I hear you... You just don't want anything too firm right now. You know what, apparently that seems to be part of my issue also. I meet ok dudes here & there. However, they always want to zone in for the kill & put me into a compartment before I even know if I really want them or not. I don't like feeling pressured & I don't like men trying to force me into exclusivity if I'm just getting to know them.

Um yeah... Annoying.

@loveless

Real simple, just state and manage your expectations up front. Too many people go with the flow instead of being clear with what they're looking for.

To me the pressure in dating is all about how you see yourself.
I'm a man who doesnt do drama and I bring a hell of alot to the table, so I have no pressure. I totally enjoy being with me so I don't need anyone to define and or enhance me.
Pressure me to marry them hmmm... hell no you can't even pressure me to put down my PS3 controller let alone go somewhere and lie to say I do when I sure as hell don't.

I don't know why my girl wants an destination wedding, but I'm going along with it.  I don't expect many of my folks to want to go, especially when I keep confusing it with having it in Haiti...lol.  My momma said Haiti!!!...lol, but my girl corrected me...lol.

I just tell folks it is down south across the water...lol.
