The demise of dating
I find the demise of dating (and the rise of the hook-up) very sad indeed. I still date, and my desire to do so often works against me. Of course, I can't say that it works "against" me, since I'm probably just eliminating douchebags (or at least those with douchbag tendencies) by eliminating those who are primarily interested in the hook-up.
I just believe in getting to know someone. Especially before hooking up.
I'm dating someone now with whom I had a bit of a courtship. We met. We met again several months later. I found him on Facebook. A brilliant written correspondence ensued. We went on a couple dates. He asked me out. Then we kissed. No hooking up, but a lot of getting to know each other.
It's great. No. It's totally awesome.
It's a pace that suits me and seems to be working well for us. I think that, after this year, I have post-hook-up-traumatic-whatever-syndrome. Which means that I take a little time and effort.
I'm worth it though. I'm pretty awesome.
