I went out with a guy the other night and we began talking about what defined a date.
Women, he said, had too many rules.
Women think a date needs to be a certain length of time spent together.
That a date needs to be declared. One person formally invites another to spend time together.
That a date is when the guy pays for dinner.
That a date usually has some intimate factor, such as "intimate" conversation or physical "intimacy".
Men figure, you meet up and it's a date.
I think when a woman is interested in a man romantically, it's a date.
When a woman is only interested in a man as a friend, it's "hanging out".
We aren't really all that complicated. We just don't want to fracture the fragile male ego so we make it sound very deep and thoughtful. We know that men stop listening when we do that.
About Me
- Lady Sage
- Harlem, New York, United States
- At a very young age I knew I wanted to do anything that involved getting my "opinion" on life out there. I would tell true stories and made up stories. I would sing and dance. I would conduct interviews and draw pictures. I just needed an outlet. My plans were to become a talk show host, until one day my mother pointed out that it would mean I'd have to do a lot of listening too. I realized talk show host wasn’t really going to work since what I really wanted was to talk and have people listen. In time I had to admit that I had much more to say than most people had time to listen to. So, I started to keep a journal. My journals helped me to formulate my thoughts and emotions but I still had no audience. Hopefully this blog will give me that audience. Blessed Be
