i've been wondering all weekend...what and when is a date? there are so many definitions and so many different points of view that it's mind blowing!

there's the mommy POV that always gets me into soo much trouble. she thinks a date is when 2 ppl go out. with or without knowledge of any romantic agendas, when 2 ppl of the preferred sex go out, it's considered a date. weird huh? but i guess at that time, that was how things were.

in the US, after the 3rd date u're officially a couple. but how do u know a date is a date? wouldn't it be scary to unknowingly be 'officially' dating someone? horror of horrors!! hehe! guess there's that BIG flaw in non-verbal agreements (which, btw, are not binding under common law. simply means, if a random guy were to say "i'll buy u the moon!" and doesn't follow through with it, u can't sue...just FYI...). there's always place for misunderstandings and miscommunication.

this one friend i asked said that a date is when both parties are aware of each other's feelings for each other and agree to go out on that basis.

i guess that's the malaysian way? what say u?

anyway, i suppose it all boils down to what u define a date to be. a date could merely be goin out, even as friends, to get to know someone better. it doesn't have to be more than that nor does either party need to know of any hidden feelings. or, a date could be a special outing at a fancy place to celebrate an occassion...a one time thing. couldn't it?

the reason i'm getting all...like this(!!!) is coz i like goin out with ppl one on one. i feel that u get to know someone better that way. and, not trying to be weird or anything but most of my good friends are guys which really keeps my mom worried all day (and night). she keeps lamenting that i'm dating like a few hundred guys at a go...but i'm not...it's gonna be a lonely christmas for me...but it's ok =) i'm happy that way. and my mom should know that too!! it's at times like these that i wish she reads my blog..harhar...

btw, here's something to totally gross u out. found this at a forums site my bro frequents. a woman dies after ants eat her eye.

word of the day :
hello dear brother, what have u got there?
nothing! nothing!! u only see air.
don't be silly, i love u very much.
*SMASH*
*giggle* i guess i shouldn't touch =)

    haha dates and prunes? what a title. XD

    anyway, yeah, everyone has their own idea or point of view of what dating is. you've already stated practically every possible point of view out there of what dating could be.

    to me, dating is when a guy is really interested in a girl and asks her out so that he can get to know her and hopes that she's interested in him. and hopes that in the future, they would be more than just friends.
