b122 (1.27-2.2025): i don't 'date'

      i don’t date [i]
by n. o. dates 
 
i don’t waste my time with silly games i really hate
i don’t waste my time (or money)
i don’t: 

i don’t date

_____________________________
 
·       traditional ‘dating’ (e.g. dinner and a movie; coffee; drinks and a show) is a waste of time and money, for me.  sitting across from someone and ordering overpriced coffee in order to 'converse' my way toward romance ...is not only time-consuming, but it is also ineffective. 

·       if i want short-term, we can meet somewhere at a group event.
·       if i want long-term, we can go for a walk.
·       if i’m not sure, i defer to short-term.
