I don't understand this at all. What's wrong in not knowing physically. I guess if you really care for someone you'll be great in the obvious department. All it should matter is the proximity and that someone-there-is to talk-to feeling. In otherwords, how'd you get along and not too different in interest and more than anything respect and give-in as much as you can. If people would really forget if they have been physical or not. If these sounds too outdated, call me the last-living-dinasaur. ;) |> |> Of course, this completely grates against the let's-spend-months-getting- |> to-know-each-other-before-even-kissing style many women would like to |> follow if they got their druthers in the dating world. |> |> What results most of the time is something in between these two approaches. |> |> - John
