I’ve narrowed the pool of potentials down to one. We’ve been out a couple of times and it’s time to get to first base. The problem is, I can’t figure out how to make this happen in a city dating scenario. There are two main obstacles, my hatred of PDA and disparate apartments.
First, I don’t think people should do anything in public with a romantic interest that they wouldn’t do with a family member. With all my dates ending with me getting into a cab or a train, there’s no way to get to first base without a lot of people watching.
Second, I’m kindly calling disparate apartments. What I really mean is the death of chivalry. None of this would be an issue if guys were willing to walk me back to my apartment. Remember in college when you’d head back to the dorms together giving you ample opportunity to suck face outside someone’s door? Well now unless I’m lucky enough to live either on the way or nearby, I’m getting home by myself.
As a thoroughly modern woman I accept the fact that guys expect me to take care of myself. But as a thoroughly modern woman I resent the fact that this is preventing me from gettin’ any.

Agree -- WTH. I still believe guys don't think this over and plan for it. It would be so easy to walk you home, but they may also think you'll think they want to come in. Which would not be chivalrous.
I don't think a quick kiss is PDA.
Have any of the dates with this guy been on a weekend night when there is more time to walk someone home?
A quick kiss is not PDA as it falls under the rubric of things you would do with family. I mean, we all kiss babies if not grown family members, right?
Yes, there was ample time to walk/take me home if so desired. On the second date he went to his car and I went to the train.
