And the gust in my sails advanced the thread a little too quickly. I'll peel a few potatoes in galley as my penance. As for 6A's agreed definition of a date, few people bring wordy contracts along when meeting a new acquaintance of the opposite sex, yes? I think more often it comes down to individual, and unspoken, perceptions of whether it's a date.The Independent Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723383503135303248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12540914.post-1123514405239819812005-08-08T11:20:00.000-04:002005-08-08T11:20:00.000-04:00We could discuss cohabitation, IO, but it wouldn't...We could discuss cohabitation, IO, but it wouldn't have much relevence here, would it?4th Dwarfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11078187712957062528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12540914.post-1123514278598376482005-08-08T11:17:00.000-04:002005-08-08T11:17:00.000-04:00Ah, but what of the theory that living together is...Ah, but what of the theory that <A HREF="http://www.usatoday.com/life/lifestyle/2005-07-17-cohabitation_x.htm" REL="nofollow">living together</A> is replacing dating (once the whole naked thing has presumably been sorted out)?

I was feeling a bit low after Aggie got me on the bragging thing yesterday (were you thinkin' I missed it?) but I'm pretty much 5 for 7 on this list (missed the speed stick and the born-again points; okay, I admit the grey hair isn't premature any more, but it used to be.) <BR/><BR/>And 6A, I know, you're trying to get me to go public with the "Is it a Date" web site. Fair enough, I'll see if I can get something together later today. I've got some other things on my list first.<BR/><BR/>But let me preview the "Is it a Date" site by observing: while 5M says she's not on a date, and some women will agree that if she says it's not a date, it's not a date, you can be sure that Nelson thinks he's on a date - and one that lets him really show his mojo.4th Dwarfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11078187712957062528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12540914.post-1123432771943048712005-08-07T12:39:00.000-04:002005-08-07T12:39:00.000-04:00Right, Anon -- it's one of her new Lavalife contac...Right, Anon -- it's one of her new Lavalife contacts, not Mr. D. <BR/><BR/>And Agatha: Speedsticks and hairy beer guts as a turn ons?
