And, yeah, as I said, Abby did tell Susan she believed in the second date rule which was that unless she had sex with a guy by the second date, she wasn't going to waste her time with him. Since Dubenko once bought her a burger and now was springing for coffee, it was technically their second date, I guess. I, too, perhaps have higher standards, but it seems to me that Abby isn't exactly the type to play hard to get. From what she herself has said, she believes in going to bed at the first possible opportunity in a relationship. To be strictly accurate, Abby was quoting 'this friend of hers' when she was explaining the second date rule to Susan. She never said that SHE followed it. (And it was something like "This friend of mine has a rule that you should always sleep with a guy by (on?) the second date, because you shouldn't waste your time with someone you don't have any chemistry with.) She WAS surprised that Susan and Carter had been dating for 'a couple of months' without consumating it, but that's a far cry from being surprised that they hadn't slept together by the second date.
