Last night I went to Noche with a friend of mine. He and I were having a conversation about dating and the people we were dating. While sitting at the bar there was a slender, young, rather pretty, white lady sitting next to us. She could not help but over hear our conversation as if she was eager to join in. Me being the person I am, I turn to her and ask about dating. The question I asked was "Do you think you can date multiple people at one time?" She smiled and replied with a "Yes".
From that moment on her flood gate (mouth) opened and we could not get her to shut the hell up. Since I don't know her name, for the purpose of this entry we will call her Munkeisha. ;-)~ She goes on to tell us that eventually you will have to choose your path. One of the best ways to make that decision is by deciding who you prefer to call when you get off a flight, home from work, when something good happens. Further, Munkeisha went on to say she unlike a few of her friends do not think dating someone consist of going on 1 are 2 dates. She used her friend sitting two seats down as an example. If he goes on a few dates with someone he will say "yeah I dated her". Myself, like Munkeisha feels the same way, that’s not dating.
Actually dating someone takes time, energy and effort. What I have found is that when I mention the word dating to someone I am dating they consider it to be a relationship. Why is that? Does everyone in this city feel the need to be in a relationship? I don't think I need to be in one. Considering that I have just gotten out of one that lasted 6 years. Another relationship is the last thing on my list for 2008 and/or prolly 2009. I left there thinking about what Munkeisha told us and decided that of the people I am dating I don’t really have to call any of them first. So am I dating?
