Yea, I sort of miss that dating scene, too....     But, the funny thing is
that I don't remember it in the same way.  That is, there were male and
female friends and then there were the girls I dated: most of the time
these two groups of females didn't overlap.  I guess it was seen as like 
dating one's own sister or the likes; you just didn't think of it.

The thing I really miss about that time in my life was that people seemed
to be so much more like real people.  We got to know and like or dislike
each other based primarily on personality.  Now, out in the post-college
world it's physique, job, social standing, and financial health,... and
then personality is considered!  It's like I'm no longer "me" but a set
of social & economic stats.

P.S.  I also agree that it's a very bad idea to date any work people just
for the reason you mentioned, Weezel.
