Well, there are 52 weeks in a year and 4 years of high school.....So I'd say I went on hundreds of dates.



It was my hobby.

I tired of guys very quickly and I wouldn't keep dating someone just for the sake of having a date. That wasn't fair to either of us. I'd do the, "It's not you, it's me," speech and we'd go our separate ways. Because it REALLY was me. They could hold the interest of most other girls, just not me. So I figured we might as well both get on to dating the next people, since we might "click" with that person. If I wasn't "going steady" with a particular guy, I might date several guys at once and that added up. One Friday, another Saturday, another on Sunday. I just liked meeting people, going out and having fun. A lot of guys, I just dated once or twice and that was it.
But when DH came along, I'd dated enough guys to know a keeper when I saw one.
Being a girl, dating was easy. A guy asked and you accepted or declined. I felt bad for the guys. The one or two times I had to ask a guy to a banquet, (because it was a girls' organization) I really didn't like it. They accepted, and one turned out to be a case of "be careful what you wish for," but the asking was not a lot of fun.
