I asked this question to a younger lady on my last of several dates with her. Her answer was something like, “to make friends.” She asked me, ‘what is your idea on this.” My response was something like, ‘to see if I want to get to know someone better, you know like to take it (friendship) to different levels.’ To which she responded, “oh, isn’t that the same thing?’ I dropped the point.
By younger are you talking 18 year old hottie or moody. prudish old hag the older they get the more moody, bossy, set in their ways they are, but also they are master manipulators and expert ball busters

You sound like an octagenerian on electric wheel chair. You discovered the truth in that early age, and must be genius. Absolutely true. I consider myself being fortunate for living with one women over three decades. After she passed away and went through a few 'old hags' spending a little fortune, I said screw it. I'm done with any more hags. It is so peaceful and lovely by being by myself.

So... what is the purpose of why you date ?
For me, the concept of dating has been known as trying to find a person whom you can trust, rely on, and over time, fall in love with. To meet with someone and find out if you have any mutual interests or other common ground is the first date objective. Many, even here on CS, would say that it is just to do the dirty. Those people are incredibly shallow, and seek only a superficial relationship. Real dating is for building the foundation of your lives together. Some tell me that I am just a naive visionary for thinking so. I believe those comments come from bitter people that have been scorned, and need to work on developing a higher quality of being. Sure, relationships are not for everyone, nor are they often effortless. All of those who have been rejected, take this message to heart. There will come a day when you meet someone that you are so compatible with that you will find it hard to imagine your life without her/him. If you get rejected, accept it politely, and move on. Being hurtful because of your pride's fracture is immensely immature and not attractive to anyone in the least.
A little long winded sure, but these are my beliefs. There is a chance that many here on CS feel the same way. I hope that this serves to help further your endeavours in the name of love.

I enjoy an active dating life. I date for interaction, conversation, laughter, learning about myself, companionship, and developing relationships organically. Some of my good friends are men I have dated. Simply go at it with no expectations, an open inquisitive mind, and leaving negative stuff at the door. Be someone others want to be with.
