Abstract
What does morality require of individuals in their dating and sex life?
In this article I challenge recent outlines of antidiscrimination duties in the
dating sphere and present a plausible alternative: the deliberative duty. This duty
avoids the risks and limitations of earlier outlines: it is time-sensitive regarding
the malleability of intimate preferences, it avoids being too demanding on the
duty-bearer and minimizes the risk of generating mere dutiful attraction
behavior towards right-holders. In addition, it is better suited for universal action guidance in the dating sphere than earlier outlines of individual antidiscrimination duties.
