DFW Blogs

DFWBlogs just added their 500th blog to the list. I decided to celebrate by going to the happy hour last night. Though, it wasn't really happy hour by the time I arrived, since I had to go to class first. All the same, it was great to see a bunch of the bloggers. These are my people. Love them.

Caught up with a bunch of people and heard about their lives. (Congratulations, Alex, on the new job!) I really miss the days when I socialized every day of the week. So it was a ton of fun to get out on a Wednesday night. I felt very hip for once.

Due to Micah, conversation had an interesting turn near the end of the night. Micah shared an experience he had recently dating someone he met online. The conversation including, Leia, Connie, and Alex quickly grew into a discussion of dating. It all came down to this for me, though I'm not sure if I ever really said it - if you like someone enough to date them, you should like them enough to discuss things that matter to you. For example, there was discussion about who pays for dinner. In this day and age, it's not at all unreasonable to go dutch (or so we agreed last night), but there are still many women who don't think dutch is acceptable. When who pays becomes an issue, you really should discuss it with your date. If you don't know them well enough to discuss, should you really be dating? (But that really brings up a whole new discussion which revolves around how do you get to know someone new?) I'm not much for blind dating, which might be why I like long distance relationships so much - because of the distance, we're forced into talking about things, because all we have is conversation. I could go on and on, but I have to go to work. It was a fun conversation and I totally think someone should have a slumber party so we can stay up all night talking about dating and relationships.
