Thank you for joining me this evening. We are here to have a
little fun, share ideas and talk like adults. The scenario that
follows is not intended to resemble anyone I know. If it does it is
purely coincidental. I hope my stories/questions are inviting enough
that you will join in the conversation. With that being said lets have
fun exchanging some words…..
If you don't know now you know....:
Life's poem and the Sex Pages
The Sex Pages II: Sexual Eruption
In today's world of dating WHAT is considered a date. All over the place I see "Netflix and Chill" (I could swear I made that up. Somebody somewhere owe me some commission). With texting, facetime, Skype and the million other ways to stay in contact it seems you don't really need to go out to get to know someone. So tell me what is NOW considered a date that was not acceptable maybe....... 10 years ago.
I swear I just had a similar conversation on Sunday. Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but a date to me still consists of in person, face to face time. Now, I have no problem with a nice cozy evening of "Netflix and chill", but I do think it's important to spend time outside of the confines of the house. It's important to see how people are and how you connect with them when you're not behind closed doors. I know people that swear that they are in full fledged relationships, but hardly ever see each other and only text...GTFOH!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah Datenite I'm with you. Face to face, out and about. I like to see how the person interacts with the outside world. Home a chill is cool AFTER we get to know each other but I like to go out. I'll tell you something funny. To me the ideal date is to go out with someone when they are running their errands. I like to just BE with them. No trying to impress me, no putting on airs. Just you and me! Thanks for your words Datenite.
DeleteHi-five on the errands comment!! I feel the exact same way.
DeleteI believe that a date is a being with a person either out somewhere or having a "Netflix and chill" moment. I think that the only way to get to know a person is "in person" granted you can have some intimate conversations over the phone or over Skype, email, or whatever but nothing beats a conversation or spending time in person. You can really feel a person's vibe or get a feel for him/her.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the in person thing MsDee. I think the first few dates should be out of either persons home. After that it's whatever. Thanks for your words MsDee.
