I read a lot in here about dating. I guess I am way too old fashioned for my own good. When I have in the past asked someone on a date it was not to just go to dinner and casually get to know the person. When I have asked in the past it was strictly to meet and get to know this person with the intent and possiblity of finding a mate/husband.
It seems many date now-a-days just for something to do on a Friday night. They’ll meet you, have dinner, and be friendly but really not want anything more from you other than sex. When you ask someone on a date what are your intention towards them.? How many of ask people on a date with the intentions of only getting a free meal? Have sex? Or both, with no intentions of having anything go any further? Do you really know what you are looking for when you do this? How do you approach dating?

In the past I have treated my dates as interviews, particularly the first one. It's a time to listen and ask questions; and be listen to and answer their inquiries. It's also a time to self-evaluate; to take stock in yourself and growth. Yes it can be very romantic; with the potential of love and fresh starts. You can really learn a lot about a person, on the first date. Things like; punctuality, personality traits, social skills and how they manage themselves.

Granted, I've been out of the dating scene for the past decade, but I don't see the problem of dating to fill an evening.
Getting to meet new people and maybe even find a friend or two along the way seems completely harmless to me.
Sex for sex's sake seems completely shallow for me, but that's just me. I don't judge those who enjoy casual sex, as long as they're both concenting adults, and use protection, sex can be fun!
I must admit, I have, in the past, had a few "dates" just for the purpose of having sex later. But they were very rare. I usually dated to get to know a person better on a more intelectual level. Away from whatever circumstance we had met. One on one.

Dating is fun. You get to know different people and possibly make a new friend. I would not go out with someone whose intentions were only for sex. I can get that and not have to waste an entire evening trying to get to know someone! It is not about all of that to me.

I usually dated women to get to know them for potintial marriage. As far as men are concerned I have a covenant with the 3rd g0y I started coresponding with over the interenet we are together for life and we never dated so I don't guess I will be dating a lot of men. LOL
