I've fallen off the dating boat over the course of this term. Guess I got tired of being around strangers at school with this heavier schedule, so I've been using any non-class time exclusively as either alone time or congregations with already very familiar friends. For the past few weeks, the thought of dating has been completely absent from my mind.

Maybe I should get back into it, since I'll start getting romantically bored again with less to do this month. Fuck, I hate the initial part of the dating process. I'm good at it but don't enjoy it. Can I fast forward? I'm so picky that I have to keep doing it again and again, it seems. And, because of the disappointments occurring 99.99% of the time, it's not exactly a positively reinforcing activity.

Is it my imagination, or do girls get away with being less impressive mentally for most guys - even smart ones - to want to date her compared to the other way around? If she's cute, nice, and smart enough, she'll do...But, at least for me, a guy has to be above average in so many departments. AND he has to value my mind instead of telling me I'm being too cerebral or heady, which has happened several times. So hard to find. Grrr. I may be a Vulcan, but I can be a warm one once I know you.
