I believe in dating.

I'm sure that everyone has realized that today--at least in southern california, the custom of 'dating' has ceased to exist. People jump from friends to significant others at the drop of a dime. I detest this. I think the act of dating should be continued--it allows for a non-emotional, get-to-know-each-other-in-a-romantic-situation, sort of experience. No attachment, no commitment, no angst.

I've never been so bothered by this as I am now, simply because I go to a school where dating is not only common, but it's almost taboo. People want to marry their first boyfriends, and the act of going on a date is seen as something almost slutty. What the crap!?

The other problem with this state of mind being so prevalent is that it affects even the way I think. And the way other people thing--people I wouldn't mind dating, if they shared my opinion.

I guess that's the end of my rant for today.
