for myself, i decided to try dating in a more specific manner because i am finding i have much more specific things i am looking for. i am also feeling like the peoeple that i know here i am not finding sexually attractive for whatever reason. there are a few people i have found sexually attractive, but i dont' want to date them because of other issues. (frex: one is in a now closed r'ship, another's r'ships don't look uberstable right now, etc.)
so, i decided to give it a whirl. so far, it's been a good thing, despite added stress and stuff. and besides, i hadn't done it before and i like doing new things. i am learning a lot about myself in the process. and the people i keep meeting turn out mostly to be known to some of my friends, which is helping too.
i seem to be seeking something really specific, and the dating thing is allowing me to meet people outside of my normal bounds. because i can be quite introverted, and because i am such a hermit during the school year (and last summer) i feel like this is a way for me to explore many new people.
additionally, i tend to be sexually attracted very early on. sex itself is waiting, but i can usually tell from a kiss whether or not we're mostly compatable.
i'm waiting for food to cook, sorry if i'm babbling.
