Apparently the rules have changed. Or, maybe I’m just a throwback to the 50’s. What I’m learning is that when people “date” these days, it simply means they are friends. People who are dating are allowed to answer other personal ads, date other people, and have sex with whomever they want. From what I’m learning, until you sit down and have a talk and agree to be exclusive to each other, anything goes.

Now for me, that’s garbage. To me, if you are dating, you are getting to know someone, and you should have that person as you central focus. If you’re still perusing personal ads, then you’re looking for someone else or someone better, and that isn’t fair to the person you are dating. Friends can go out as friends but not hug or kiss at the end of the night, as people who date do.

Me, I went to be wooed. I want someone who wants me and me only and devotes their attention to me solely. I won’t be looking at other men or wanting to meet other guys so why should you be able to do so?

I think I’m just too old-fashioned to be dating in this century as I have such outdates ideas and ideals of what dating entails.
