Dating?

So I had a really wonderful "3d date" with my new friend yesterday. I am realizing that some of the concepts instilled in us growing up might really be just constructs. It all gets back to language and ideas and underneath it all desire and biology. It just seems that the more I experience in life, and the more different people that I meet, that more and more of these "ideas" get shaken. So right now it is the idea of "dating". So technically I have been under the belief that I last "dated" someone in 1999. But that does not mean that I have not fallen in love with many people or had many friends, some more close than others. Back in america it was all framed in a group context which made sense. Kind of neo-hippie and with people who were shedding social constructs and allowing each friendship to be whatever level it is. Letting things just develop, in parallel, with several people, with minimal constructs.

It is funny but the truth of the matter is that there are physical limits to relationships and friendships. There are only so many hours in a week and with a career many of those are already claimed by work, sleep, and basic life maintenance. It basically means that it is easy to figure out who is important by who we spend time with. And the funny thing is that this might really be all that we need. Each friend is who they are, each with a certain level of trust, each with a certain level of closeness. And each may grow or change into whatever it may become. And maybe that is the essence of it all.
