What is a Date?
Published by Paul 3 years, 6 months ago in MiscellaneousHello! My dating sabbatical is going great. It’s quite liberating.
Recently I met a woman I’d love to get to know better. The question is, how do I do this and maintain my dating hiatus? Is it possible? Do I tell her of my dating sabbatical? Do I be honest and say I’d like to get to know you better because I think you’re cool? But I’m not going to date.
In a few weeks a friend is hosting a party for a company he’s starting. He invited me and I’d love to invite this woman. Would that be considered a date? Some say yes.
This woman I’m interested in was over at my house last night. I hosted a singles event through my church. (Brief aside, I’ve stumbled on the absolute best, most relaxed way to meet women. By hosting this group there are at least 4 to 5 women I want to meet every gathering. Now before you judge me let me say that is not the sole purpose of this group. I priority is for everyone to connect and make new friends. This just happens to be an added bonus.)
What is considered a date? Where is the line between getting to know someone and a “date?”
Tomorrow will mark 3 months into my sabbatical and I don’t want to give up.
I’m sure it’s fine if you ask her to a party. I don’t think it’s considered dating if you KNOW you’re just getting to know her as friends and don’t have intentions of starting a romantic relationship.
I agree with Posh. Don’t put so much energy into categorizing it as a date or not a a date. Just enjoy it.
