Are you attempting to persuade me to believe that the thought of
sexual intimacy never occurs?

You are very dense or pretending to be... intimate affairs generally
do not occur on the first date of even the next few subsequent dates,
but all intimate affairs start somewhere and it doesn't take too many
dates before sexual intimacy occurs. When normal men and women date
and no chemistry develops then the dating ceases regardless there are
other interests in common, because those interests can easily be
persued in a group setting with others and without physical proximity.
On this planet no one seeks to be alone with somone of the opposite
sex (or even the same sex in same cases) without there being an agenda
for physical intimacy to occur.
