intent to figure out if that person is "the one" on the first or second date?
What happened to dating as a fun thing to do to get to know each other. I dated a guy who on the second date was telling me he could see us long term and started grilling me on what my future plans were and would I want to live in the country or city, how did I feel about dividing household chores, etc.
My friends date and I hear them talking about all this crazy he's "he's the one, I just know it" after their second or third date. Does anyone date to have fun and keep busy, and if you meet a great guy then bonus for you!!???
I mean come on!! No wonder the dating scene is so messe up. You have those who have no intention of ever settling down and you have those who are on a marriage mission. Where did the fun and taking time to get to know each other go?
Talk about pressure LOL!!!

Now if only Mr. Right would just show up on our doorsteps and save us all this hassle!
Ok, I am 29 and it officially is torture now, not just at 30!!! LOL!
I suppose I'm the only one who used to time the dates with when the fridge was empty... that way I didn't have to cook or put out money for food and could put it off to another day.
And besides, you can try all sorts of restaurants that way!
Some of my favorite boards:
The Single Life, Signature Making for Beginners, Life in Our 30s, Make Him Moan, & Job Seekers' Support Group
...Having said that, I can still say that I *am* looking for "the one", but my approach is different than you described.
