What Shall I Do?

If you long long enough
If you are patient and kind
If you put your heart on the line
If you go along sometimes in uncertainty
If you make yourself the person they want you to be
Will you find love
If I don't...what shall I do?
What shall I do if I think I am ready for love, but I am not.
What shall I do if it doesn't work out
What shall I do?

-A Black Girl's Blues

Don't date just to have shit to do...date with a purpose

I date to find someone compatible. Someone who enhances my life. Someone fun. Someone intelligent. Someone I would want a future with. After 1-2 dates I know if this is someone I'd like to spend more time with. Dating just to have shit to do could lead to the other person feeling like they have a chance when you know good and damn well they don't. If I have learned anything in the past two years, it's that actions don't necessarily dictate intention. Do you date just for shits and giggles? If so, Why?
