Dating vs. Mating

citybutch · 01-15-2011, 02:36 PM

When I met my wife I was ONLY into dating... fun, play, sex, no strings... Little did I know we would mate... It took YEARS for me to catch on... Even though I knew I loved her within a year of meeting... We weren't ready to get married until YEARS later. Both of us acknowledge that.

For ME, I think one should date and not necessarily look for a mate. The mating part only comes after a period of time after you get to know each other. My wife and I are truly married in all aspects. If something ever happened to her, and we have discussed this, I wouldn't be interested in another mate. Not at my age. We are a perfect "fit"... and I am not interested in any other... There are too many OTHER things in life to experience...
