Too Lazy To Date

A new phenomena is sweeping the nation. People that are too lazy to date. After a discussion with a friend last night I started to think about this... According to him he's too lazy to date... He has a job, place to live, and is a fun guy. And he's one heck of a good listener... Hell he's my own personal Dear Abby.... His advice is good and most of the time right on the mark. Except for the agreeing with my Saran Wrap idea, THAT was not one of his greater bits of advice.

But back to the laziness....

So this friend has a great (most of the time) night job, and most of the time he's off work he's either asleep or doing something equally non social. Usually sitting on the couch, drinking beer.
Sounds like someone else I know... But that one's got a day job that requires him being there at like 6 in the morning... And he's also been getting out more... (I'm so proud I could cry...) Though since he gets off work at like 3, I think he has enough time to take a nap and then go out but thats just me....

So why this laziness?

It is just an apathy to dating or is it an loathing for social situations after having to deal with idiots all the time?

I don't know.

Personally my problem with dating is that I hate it. I like to call it I hate datingitis.... :0)
The whole does he like me do I like him song and dance.... And its the whole weird akwardness of the first date... The nerves... The uncertainty... I can't stand it. Makes me wanna join a convent or something....

Though at the rate I date, I don't think I have to... I'm the next best thing to a nun.... I can't remember the last time I had a date... Or kissed someone..... Or... Yeah.... That...

Though some may say I just don't want to make time or put forth the effort to date, I think I devote a lot of time into it, though I don't actually date.... That seems to be a contradiction in terms almost... but I do spend a good deal of time thinking about it, and flirting... Its just for some reason when it comes to that next bit after flirting and hanging out and the trading of phone numbers I suck. And not in a good way...

Anyway I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the whole too lazy to date thing... Is it that they're too lazy to date... Or that they don't want to and are just looking for an excuse?

I'm not sure...
