okay, so, i need advice. advice for a serial monogamist (that's what my bro and i have decided) in a world of dating.
i used to date around (not in a gross way) and had no problem with that. then, after my parents got divorced and having serious issues with my mom, i no longer want that. i want a quality person to share my life with, essentially. which, i guess is the point of dating. or is it?
and as cliche as it sounds, i'm going to start yet another sentence with this phrase...
there's this guy, and he's kind of nice. i went to college with him, and we always seemed to have fun together.
i'm relatively sure that i'd never want to date him...given what i knew of him and what i still know of him. not in a judgmental way at all, i'm just positive we aren't the most suited for one another.
so, go on a date and have fun with no strings attached for me (possibly he having stronger feelings), or avoid a whole awkward situation entirely?
hmmm. you decide.

Ahh, the eternal dilemma. I myself have had the same dilemma, and depending on the guy, I have made different decisions. Sometimes I've decided not to waste anyone's time (usually for his sake), but sometimes I've decided, "what's the harm in one date?" When I've chosen the latter, it has turned out both poorly and quite well. Once, the guy was far more smitten than I thought, and he ended up getting pretty hurt. Another time, we had a good time and that ended up being it. So what I'm really saying, my dear pretty friend, is that you have to take all factors into account and make the decision yourself. If you don't think one date will break his heart, then go for it. Hanging out is always fun. Right? :)

PS my word verification is "refun." Does that mean fun gets a do-over if it screws up? Or is it that "refund" in the hood?
audra, thanks for the fantastic advice. and, thank you for telling me what the blog comment words was. i live for those things!
