WTF???? Im no expert with women but if a woman (or indeed anybody) thinks that- they need their head examined! Big time!

I suppose age might be an issue here (as i dont know yours) but if anything over 13 years old...she sounds like a mental.

I think you should be worried for different reasons.

Better?

Date women who
A) Are thick skinned
B) Witty
C) Like to Drink
D) If you are sober, look for a bit of physical attraction.
That is how I got my wife. If all the insults and jabs we threw at each other were used by a "normal" couple, we'd have been divorced about 6 years ago, when we met.
Banquo, you are telling that to someone (me) who lives in a culture where a kiss is considered a greeting. How is that taking advantage of?
West=Prudes?

Not at all. I'm just saying that someone who sets clear rules, even if they seem old fashioned in these more "enlightened" days, should not be the subject of mild derision. Holding hands is a clear sign of intimacy between friends. Rather too many young men assume that the next step should be bed.

In a society where relationships are often expected to result in sex very early, it may be a sensible choice to keep things friendly and non-physical early on. She may also be religious, and is following her moral guidelines.

If I were her father, I would be very proud. It would save me having to get the shotgun out every time she had a boyfriend.

I would do that just for fun.

I'm going to commit both of my girls to the nunnery

If in the future I have a male heir, he'll be playing on the other side of the fence.

ROFLOL!!! I actually did that…sat in my chair and cleaned my gun…But my favourite was one evening I cam home…from a military exercise in uniform (full field kit) and the four boys talking to my youngest daughter took off running…. Thank the all that they are now over 21 and one is married.

i find it easier to have no respect for anyone and say what you'd like, when you'd like. People flock to the strong (both the weak and the would be strong)
who is the king of your castle? everyone would kill to be the queen. no worries

Think of it this way (helped me):

If you didn't break up that girl, then none of the good stuff since would have happened, and you'd have missed out. Be that parties, other girls, opportunities or chances you wouldn't have taken.

Earlier in the year I like another girl, asked her out, went on a date, and then she stopped talking to me.
I didn't know what happened. It was just nothing. She didn't speak to me, call me, anything.
Then I tried to figure out what was wrong.
I have to say the silent treatment is terribly effective...

The end result is that I now know who she is, but don't speak to her, and have realized what an insane sort of person I was to like her.
I'm glad she stopped talking to me.
