It never occurred to me during the years that I was dating that I was dating in order to get sex. I dated for the simple readon that men asked me out.

At one point, for 18 months, I had a different date every single night, 6 or 7 days a week. A guy asked me out for supper, - I wrnt. A guy asked me to movies - I went.

They paid. That was the way it was done. Although it has been a long time since I have dated, I would never pay for a date. They ask me out. They want my company. They pay.

In years gone past, I have been very blunt that I wasn't interested in them romanticallyml. Men would beg me to go out with them. They would tell me they just wanted to be friends. They lied. After I accepted them as friends, they them 'wanted to move to the next level.' After that happened to me a number of times, I stopped dating.

I wnt out with men because they asked .e out. No other reason. If I have to take off my clothes for them in return for whatever money they laid out, I would rather stay home and read a book.
