Remember the dates were you would just talk? Get to know the person? Consider yourself lucky if you got a kiss at the end.
The look that would happen when you connected with the person the feeling that would follow.
No counting down the dates until number 3 with the aim to be getting into bed but to know the person.
The kiss that would set fire to the pit of your stomach, that you could let go and just enjoy because the kiss was that good. Again with no other aim but to feel a connection through kissing rather than it a stepping stone to the next point.
Or checking you got home safe after dinner. When was the last time you had dinner and just talked with someone.
Now a text does the job. Or if your lucky one five minute date over coffee. Is it any wonder every time i try to get back out into the dating world i find that dating somehow doesn't include dates. When did that happen? You hit date 3 and they just assume your up for it, what if instead you wanted to invest time ? The one commodity that no one seems to have anymore, time.
