I've said it before, but I just don't get dating. All semi-structured relationships, really. And it goes beyond just my aversion to touching. When someone says something about boyfriends or girlfriends, I cannot for the life of me figure out why I should want one or vice versa. It's like one of those bullshit Magic Eye things, maybe? I don't know. But I'm positive this will come up when I'm out to dinner with my parents.
The other thing is that when you even talk about this with someone, esp a girl, you keep hearing the same meaningless platitude: "All I'm looking for someone to make me laugh" or something about a sense of humor being most important. It's not true, I think. Because the people that probably make you laugh are actually kind of miserable people. Let's be honest: who reads a book about the middle ages and says, "Boy, I'd sure like to have a sustained, meaningful relationship with the court jester and also have lots of sex with him"? No. It's the knight. It's always the knight.
