Default What is your main reason for dating?

Okay, we seem to be getting a lot of talk about boyfriends and girlfriends and all kinds of questions about both sexes. Soooo, here we go - tell us all your main reason for dating (or not). I think everyone has a certain priority when they date someone so spill it!

Married people need not vote since they shouldn't be dating anyone (in the normally understood sense - never stop dating your spouse!).

Would have voted twice but obviously I couldn't.

I am with my girfriend because I feel that she is a "good companion for life" In that respect, she satisfies the "companionship" component of why I date. You can only talk about sports and cars with your male buddies for oh so long.

I put down the main reason, life long partner, but it can vary depending what I want at the time. I never lead a girl on with blind promises however.

I really wish c3 and crew would implement multi-option voting. I'd pick 1, 2, and 4 from your list, in the reverse order. In other words, date for companionship and a good time, if things work out it might lead to a more serious relationship and sex, and if things keep working out maybe you've found that special someone... At least that's my take on it

C'mon people - there has to be more than 33 people in this forum that date! Do the poll and post your reasoning.

My main reason for dating is to find out how old something is.



(I've been married for almost 23 years so you said I'm not allowed to vote so I figured that my explanation doesn't count anyway so I figured I could say whatever I wanted. So there.)
