OK I've seen it again. A couple who just started to date, traveling and basically "living" with each other. And one of them saying "if it doesn't work out, maybe we can still be friends."

I repeat.... Does anybody "date" anymore? Or do I just need to "get with the program" and realize that things are different now?

There have been a few (well, maybe two) over the years that I would have liked to "get busy with". But I didn't, thinking I had to follow the perceived "rules." Well, I'm about to say "to hell with the rules" and just do what "I" want to do, instead of what I think I "should" do. Things are changing with me.

I'm sure some will disagree, but....

Thoughts? Criticisms?
