Is it possible others are in the same situation? We would like to date but that’s all. A little bit of night cuddling, but not with any aim toward a “committed relationship”.
Remember when we were in school, and we dated all the time? There might be some going steady, but it never felt like it was a trial for a long-term relationship necessarily.
When you get older, (I’m in my mid-40s) it seems like everyone wants to size you up for your “long-term potential”. I don’t want that.
I met a woman who said she doesn’t want to start a relationship. I said, “I just wanted to start with a dinner.” Why is that so impossible? Why can’t we just get together for fun? Take away some of the goal and live in the now.
I want someone in my bed tonight. But not necessarily tomorrow night. But the weekend’s coming.
