OK, I officially feel like I'm living in the dark ages. Am I the only one who doesn't think that "dating" means "sleeping with someone?"

I'm not talking about long term relationships. I hear many of my single friends talk, and it seems like even a first date "dinner and a movie" implies a roll in the hay these days.

The reason I'm asking this is, I met a man this past weekend at a seminar. We had dinner, and he made it plain how he'd like the night to end. But when I said no, he made an immediate turn around, apologized, and was a complete gentleman the rest of the evening. When I saw him the next day he was very nice, asked for my number/email at the end of the event, and again apologized for the night before. I told him no need to apologize, that just wasn't what I was looking for.

Time will tell if I hear from him again but I've gotta admit I hope I do.

Thoughts?
