Women, why are you into dates? Is there appeal to it outside of being treated to an outing? I am genuinely trying to understand.
Dating should be just an opportunity to get to know someone. That’s all. You don’t have to break the bank or fukk anybody immediately. It’s just a chance to see if you mesh well and get along. Can you spend copious amounts of time in somebody’s company without getting irritated by them? Do they want you for only one thing? (I.e. money or p*ssy) Do they give off red flags? Are they soothing to be around? Are you compatible? Any signs of depression?
But men and women are in predator mode these days. Both sides seemingly want to see how much they can get out of each other with minimal effort. Too many hurt, rejected, ignored people in the field clogging up the space for normal people.
Personally, I enjoy dates because I like people anyway. Even if we aren’t compatible, I enjoy interacting with others.
Also I’m not into casual sex fukking just to be fukking. I don’t judge others who are into that but its just not for me.
So courtship is pretty much a must for me. I like giving and receiving small romantic gestures from romantic partners. There’s a sweetness to it that is lovely to me. In order for me to view you as somebody I want to be with, it takes time to get to know that person. To see if they are reliable, keeps their word. Not just playing games.
It should be enjoyable for both parties and not a sacrifice for either one.
