10, eh? You started young. You must be real smooth and very charming by time. No more nerves for you.
It's the spirit of what Im saying not a letter of law. Dating is light and fun yet casual. You can decide from day one to only date that one person you have a gut feeling could be the one.
Cultural, nah. I've always thought of things this way. I guess I just like good old fashion romance and courtship (to use a word of old). Now I have friends that say they "broke up" after 2 dates and Im like "Broke up?" "How could you break up? You weren't even together."
Dating is not a relationship. Dating is nothing more than spending time with someone on a set day and time.
During the time you are dating, you get to know this person. Learn about their beliefs, their goals, their hurts, their pains. You become friends.
Now after dating for sometime you BOTH decide you want to be exclusive with each other THEN you are in a relationship. OR, you may find you're not a love match but a great friends match.
I belong to no one until I decide I want a future with this person. Now mind you, relationships fail all the time.
"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather...To skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming... WOW !!!! What a ride!!!!!!"
You'll find this is a great group of people with great senses of humor. I find myself laughing quite frequently. The imagination and creativity is awesome.
There are also people who need to vent sometimes to get their troubles off their chest. Don't let the get to you (sometimes easier said than done). They just want someone to agree with them so they don't feel so alone.
Others are argumentative just to be argumentative. They like stirring to pot just to wind people up. You will soon be saying "Oh it's him/her again". Once you find out who they are, they won't make you mad any more because you'll already know their game.
This is a great place for stomach exercises though. I find myself laughing hard and frequently that my stomach feels as though it did 100 sit ups.
No worries. While Im waiting for the spell to wear off of I'll just hop on the back of Frost the and slide into the lead. Frost is the fasting belly whopper since he is made of snow.
