Thoughts From The Frontlines: Dating
In short: don't do it -- ever.
If you require something a little longer to convince you, here's my Top 10 reasons why you should never go on anything remotely date-like or date adjacent -- even accidentally.
In short: don't do it -- ever.
If you require something a little longer to convince you, here's my Top 10 reasons why you should never go on anything remotely date-like or date adjacent -- even accidentally.
- 1. Dating is something Americans do. It almost universally makes them miserable.
(I'm from the UK and subscribe to the Queen's English rules of engagement between the sexes, which generally involves more alcohol but less angst.) - 2. Dating is something kids do. Adults need to grow up.
- 3. A date is like Christmas, it can never quite live up to the hype.
- 4. The best times involve zero expectations. Dates generally have lots of them.
- 5. You can take yourself for dinner and a movie.
- 6. People are on their best behavior during dates -- making them pointless as an exercise in getting to know someone.
- 7. People are nervous and not themselves during dates -- making them pointless as an exercise in getting to know someone.
- 8. Dating is something people do while they're waiting for the right person to come along.
- 9. Going on dates will generally get you more dates -- not a relationship (see above).
- 10. When it's right, it's right, no date required. (But, tragically, the very fact you're on one may stop you from realizing it -- see points 1 thru 9.)
So, yeah, just say no kids.

If it's right...it's right---but how do most people find out?
Dates
I'm just playing the Devil's advocate
