Like can you meet up one on one but only if it's in public or something? Is any touching acceptable? I tend to be an affectionate person but would never want to cross a line. Is there a rule about not being friends with people that your partner isn't comfortable with? So many people on here seem to have problems with their partners friends and I'd like to avoid that Reply to this Question

 Most of these dating rules are unsaid but I'd say at the same time, go with your instincts. If anything feels wrong, then it probably is.
When you're getting to know each other, meet in a public place. Only when you're sure about him, meet him in private. Dont get too touchy-feely too soon and don't have sex too soon; wait till you feel the time is right. Be safe, make sure he wears a condom and never feel pressured into doing anything you don't want to do.
Friends with the opposite sex? Sure why not? Just make sure your partner never feels threatened and never cross that fine line. Would you like it of some female friend called your guy in the middle of the night to sob about her miserable love life? Neither would he. Remember, friends of the opposite sex are just friends and keep them that way.
