Dating is a tricky thing. It's not friendship, really. And it's not love. You bob into and out of each other's lives faster than the Energizer Bunny on a mission.
So what the fuck am I doing tap-tapping around intimacy with near-strangers? Thoughts like these come to mind at the most inappropriate times...like, 'ooh,' 'ahh,' 'wait, gotta go.'
I'm starting to see it for exactly what it is...exploring a moment of magic where, for at least one date, we are each other's It.
You get to explore your different sides...one minute I'm feeling hippiesh, next hipster, sometimes reminiscing about a cult-ish past, other times talking business plans. It's an opportunity to learn new things, not least about yourself.
And it's a heady convergence with a bunch of chemical reactions taking you to new places.
Study. Travel. Mushrooms. Sports. Now I can add 'Dating' to my list of adventures.
I sound like Frodo on a mission.
