| Have we become sodisillusioned we don't know how to date?
Posted: 10/8/2007 2:47:19 PM | | There is no Mr. or Ms. Right because after the "falling in love" part is over there is the part about sustained love, which requires effort. I think the perfect first date would be one where there is a spark. It needs to be met with the reality that this is now and what the next date holds remains to be seen (strange things can show up later). I am mature but I still crave romance. Whatever happened to courtship (you know - flowers, phone calls, nice dinners or outtings on more than just one or two occasions)? I have met a couple of men who are busy like me because we have careers, families, established lives, older parents...whatever. But they seem to be so wrapped up in their busy lives they forget that I have a life too. So when they call Saturday at 5pm and want to know if I want to go out, it bugs me that they think I may not have anything better to do or they just needed to make sure THEY didn't. A wise person suggested I need a Wednesday date rule (or close to that). In other words: if you don't call by Wednesday or Thursay, I am busy Saturday, regardless of my true plans. If you say you are going to call Friday and I don't hear from you till Tuesday - I am busy for a while to come and may not answer the phone on Tuesday. Sorry if that sounds stuck up. I am just tired of the romance dying before it even gets off the ground. It feels like being taken for granted after 21 years of marriage. | |
