You are going to cause me competition !
Anyway I have partially the same way to
see things as you do.
However I did already have a first love
(still often thinking of her) ; and I also
did twice date girls I
wasn't
completely into. In both cases, it wasn't
worth it. It's more frustration at the end
than benefits in the beginning.
The first time was for the wrong reason:
forgetting the person I still think of.
The second time was more out of curiosity:
what if the spark comes
after
the first meetings? The spark never came
for me. It did work for a friend of mine
though, he tried the same thing.
I won't even start about one night stands,
never done that but I think my mind won't
accept it. Maybe if I get drunk, but
that's just as rare as a reliable
government in Belgium.
Anyway after that, I made a promise that's
a bit like yours.
However though there's no need to look
like your ...English...major.. or
whatever. Minds do change, so if one day
you're like "Frost it, I'll date and see
where it goes", so be it. It's not your
promise that rules you, you're allowed to
cancel it when you want it. I'm not
pushing you to jump on any train though!
I'm just saying having a promise is nice,
but it's not like a sentimental movie
everyone's watching, only you are aware of
the promise you talk about.
So, you actually may want to say to your
"potential her" about your promise, it
might filter out those who really want you
from those who want your genitals.
Stick with it but don't let it control
you.
