When I talk to guys in my comments who express desires for ‘a date’ or ‘a relationship’ or ‘a girlfriend’, I want to sigh and hurl my laptop in frustration. Because I know so many funny, smart, beautiful women who are ready and eager for those things, but only if the love is genuine. Specific, not generic. Love that supports and plays with and uplifts and celebrates the unique person it orbits. You’re not buying a pair of shoes, you’re choosing a partner. And for what it’s worth I think this ‘anyone will do’ attitude is doing people far more harm than good.
