I had the best time yesterday! I went on a non-date! I went out for lunch and a walk with a man that I am not dating. We are just friends. I do like him and maybe I would rather be on a regular date with him but that is just not going to happen any time soon! So non-dating it is!
Well, there is a lot to be said for non-dating. You don't have to get obsessive with your hair and make-up. It doesn't really matter what you wear. You can go on a last minute date without showering! You are not being judged, approved or disapproved! It's not a real date!
We went for a really nice walk. I could basically talk about anything I wanted to because I didn't have to impress this man. So I showed him the prettiest house that we were passing and told him that I would love to live in that particular house. But, then I changed my mind when I saw a smaller, cozier one with a fenced in yard for my dog! I asked him if he could please buy the house for me. I could ask him anything. We are non-dating!
Then we went for lunch. He treated.....the gentlemanly thing to do. I sort of offered but kind of knew that he would treat. If he let me pay I would have been upset on this non-date. We went for Chinese food. It was so good! And he said "this is a non-date so you can drink your soup from the bowl" (plastic take-out bowl). Well I did and I felt so comfortable eating with him because whether he likes me or not, it doesn't matter. We are non-dating!
I think I know most of the dating rules but I am still trying to figure out the rules of non-dating. Does one kiss after a certain number of non-dates? Does that make it a date? Well, I guess only time will tell and a few more non-dates! We did hug good-bye and I did ask him to take me to the Bahamas for a non-date vacation! I can ask for anything! He will probably say no but who knows.......one day he might say "Yes!"
Did you ever go on a non-date?
