[Mess O.]

A big part of why I pushed it as such this time - despite getting the impression that she was ambivalent at best - is that I'm getting the increasing suspicion that, for the average dude at least, steady relationships, let alone even a 2nd goddamn date is rapidly heading towards extinction, given the sprawling oasis of options all these chicks have to continuously draw upon to trade-up. And so, in order to get some freakin' affection & companionship, I get the urge to just jam as much into the 2 hours as I can reckon, even if I doubt it's the most optimal route for a long-term success.
