I'd be in a relationship. When that ended, I'd find a new prospect. We'd get to talking and then I had tunnel vision and BOOM I'm back into another relationship...Before I came to my senses I was in a relationship for 3 years... I've been taking notes on your tids and tads about dating. I think right now I'd like to adopt your philosophy. I don't want anything serious right now. I just want to date and have fun. That's it!

I mean why would anyone date for... not fun? However, I don't waste time. And I don't date to find my next homie or best guy friend. I don't like that being an issue. I've managed to have plenty of guy friends who we've never taken it there. (There being dating or being involved in any way) I keep my intentions and where I stand clear and in the forefront. My thing with dating now and not wasting time is that to me, it doesn't make sense for me to date someone who I know I have no longevity with. I mean of course you go out on dates with guys (gotta get to know them somehow) but when it becomes clear that they could never be "that one", I'm more apt to deposit them to either the friend pile if their friendship during our courting phase was worth it, or just drop them all together. My example was if I found out he was an athiest or something. Unless I could convert him, it would be no dice. No need to continue dating.

I have this convo with a friend on a regular basis. I'm not even trying to think about THAT part of my life for a few years. Maybe I sound young, naive, ignorant or whatever for saying this, but if you're going to spend the rest of your life and forever with your spouse, what's the big rush??? Stuff is still fun right now! So, no you're not alone :-) And I love your response to the FreshExpress post. Not to sound redundant, but I feel you! I have this convo with a friend on a regular basis.
