Sue,
Your dad might be right, although total altruism is a trait I have not yet encountered in a man or a woman. And I would be suspicious of such selflessness. I think relationships are reciprocal, and should be.
But having said the above, I have not been talking about a man who is in love and will do anything for a woman. I am talking about dating, which is the stage where you learn about the degree of chemistry, compatibility and communication you both have together. You learn about his goals, finances, degree of ethics, morality, etc. and he learns about yours. He is courting you and you are allowing him to do so.
The one thing I advocate totally, however, is "No sex without comittment". No matter how cute, nice, sweet, sexy, rich, adoring, whatever this man appears to be, do not have sex with him until he gives you a "comittment" of monogomy, continuity and longevity; which does not necessarily mean marriage; only that you agree that you are both going in the same direction, toward marriage, if that is what you both decide.
