A quick diatribe on dating.
I have run the spectrum dating this past year. You know what? It sucks.
At first I was into it. It suited my goals and desires at the time. It was a very good distraction. Met new people, be available, be active, do exciting new things and step into someone else’s life and mind for a while. Play the roulette game of desire at the same time. It did lead to some kinda flighty not so memorable fun. I met new people and quickly lost their acquaintance, saw the exciting interiors of several bedrooms, did more laundry than usual, and spent money in the process of figuring out if either of us sort of liked the other, which we did in enough of one way or another, but obviously not enough to continue dating. Gasp! What fun!
But really, in the end there was one depressing fact that was true all around. I couldn't ignore it. I would look at all these women, perfectly fine specimens of the human race that I was having a jolly good time with, and somewhere from the back of my mind my daemon would pipe up saying ‘You know you don’t love them and you know you never will.’
Thanks Dae, couldn’t have ruined it without you.
I guess that’s what I get as a person that doesn’t (that can’t) run lukewarm.
In conclusion:
Meting new people and engaging them on terms NOT to do with romance and NOT if they will be girlfriend worthy material for the future = yes, at a relaxed pace.
Dating as a way of meeting new people = get the hell away!
