Just a few nights ago, I did just that with someone whom I hope will become my SO. After cooking dinner together and then going out to a movie, we sat in my car and then in my living room, just cuddling and talking for three or four hours. Very enjoyable, and definately to be recommended as a means of getting to know someone well. We hit it off very well, and it is just my bad luck, that I am now out of North Carolina for two weeks on vacation, but I expect to see more of this young lady soon enough. I agree with what Beth said and feel that I must add that really getting to know someone well, seems to be glossed over much too quickly in many relationships (perhaps in part explaining the high incidence of divorce? possibly.). In any event, I've done it before and I'll do it again, without a doubt. On loan from the Archives of NCSU...
