Those of you who know me know my concept of time/money. That time is worth money esp. to the self employed, etc. People who are busy, etc. I am much more flattered if someone wants to spend time with me than lay down a wad of cash on movie tickets where we don't get to talk and dinner where we can't talk cause our mouths are full and it's not polite.

Nope a Date can be romantic like walking at a park, going on a hike or bike ride simple is Good in my book!

Can you ever really know someone? Knowing another person is a function of O (their openness) + A (your attentiveness) * T (time together). (O + A)T = K (knowledge). It can take years to get to know someone and even then it's imperfect knowledge. The problem with relationships today, as I see it, isn't that people don't know each other, it's that they don't choose to love one another once they do get to know each other.

That aside, you can't fall in love, you can only fall into infatuation or lust with a person. Love takes effort and time. Love is a choice and is hard work.
