Letter to Amelia

Amelia,

I commend you on saying it like it is!

I feel we lost the art of dating as we begun our stroll into year 2000. We lost the delicate art of treating the woman and man right just because it is the right thing to do. We lost our sensibility of not hurting the other out of our own selfish motives. And not the excuses made not to date are more beyond ruthless. When we dated those days we dated because we wanted the experience with another human being that would take us to a place that no one else in the universe at the time would take you. Hurting was not in the vocabulary but I guess it happened to a select few because they kept each other honest or someone simply fucked up. That said, the age we live in now makes me quiver at the thought of dating...the process has almost reversed...let's have a drink get high have sex and if we click me move, if not, it's been real I'll see you when I see you. The process has literally been adulterated where younger women wanna marry older men and older women wanna hook up with younger boys...those conversations between the two groups are never on the same lines...it's about money; time for sex; my hair; my car; my and more my's.

Where oh where did the old script for dating go to...I am simply packed and ready for a life with myself than a life of misery with another who's excuse for not treating me right is "I'm not ready for the level of commitment (and yet we are intimate) or just simple things such as we don't click after months/years of devotion to each other"
It bites me deep in my heart when I look at my mom and dad and see that seamless connection that they have with each other that is beyond husband and wife and more like friends and life partners....that is what I want.

I hope you find that one Amelia...

Yours Truly
