We've discussed the dating game before. I don't like to date. There are simply to many stigma's attached to the term based upon societies views of the subject. The point of dating is to see who can get what out of whom. It isn't a social event, it is a contest. Winner take all, so to speak. I much prefer to simply spend time with people I enjoy. Too many people don't seem to understand that you don't need to go through the dating cycle to get to romance. Romance can show up and bloom under many circumstances and I've found that playing the 'game' tends to inhibit it much more than it does enhance it. chuq -- From the ledge of the seventh cornice: Chuq Von Rospach {amd70,fortune,hplabs,ihnp4}!nsc!chuqui (408) 733-2600 x242 If you let a smile be your umbrella you will get rain up your nose.
