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.
