Do you have a pre date checklist for yourself or your date? Part of mine is listed below.

1. Are you truly available to date a few times a week?
2. Are you mentally emotionally and physically stable and in a good place?
3. Do you know what you desire in a partner?
4. What are the absolute deal breakers?
5. Do I have an exit plan if things are not going well?

Tell me what you think.

Who in their right mind goes on several dates a week? :o once a week is already a lot

@666Maggotz That is a very interesting point I would like to explain. When you marry someone you come home to them all the time. If your goal in dating is to find a wife or husband yes you will need to spend a few days out of the week getting to know them. We are different ages so you comprehend things that you have experienced. Back in my day if you did not take a woman out twice a week you did not show her that you were interested. Now people text, we back in the day would actually pick up a telephone and talk for a few hours. I understand your experiences are very different from mine that is why what I wrote seems odd to you.

Also it was very common that you asked permission from a parent to date someone before you asked them. It is very different now that is one of the hard parts about dating when you are my age. I wish I could take you back to the early eighties and show you how things once were. Even the early nineties was very unique and different.

@666Maggotz That is typically what a guy needs to do in order to find one woman worth keeping for life. We need to date hundreds of women just to find one good one. Most women are terminally single now whether they realize it or not. They all expect too much for the too little they have to offer. Men need to stop paying for women, or at least make them pay their own way.

Well I’m a lesbian, so I guess it’s different 🤷‍♀️ I get burned out with too much socIal interaction. @Anonymartyr

@Capt11 wow that is incredible

That statement (Who in their right mind....) is off base. If that is his and his date's preference, it is great. Regarding other comments, a date can be any number of activities, and not necessarily a dinner date....@666Maggotz
