Okay, I'm bored, so I thought I'd start up a topic.
I was talking with my girlfriend the other night, and we were making jokes about the whole "don't do X before/on the first date" sort of things. You know, kissing, sex, whatever people normally say. So I joked about how even the most trivial thing we'd do would technically be impropriety.
We've been together nearly two years. We've never been on a date, and it's quite likely we'll marry before the first date, because we're unlikely to suddenly decide to go on one. And it hit me that I haven't really had a date in over a decade. And honestly, I never really liked dating. I like just hanging out with my girlfriend, being comfortable and whatnot with her in itself. I hated the whole dog and pony show of dating, and routinely had to go to places I wouldn't normally frequent to engage in a social ritual I don't particularly like.
So now I turn it around to other people: Do you fine Escapists date? Did you ever? Why or why not? Do you enjoy it? How am I going to operate my digital watch now?
