“A newly single friend discovered the Internet. Spent much of the 90s planning double dates. I was a regular plus-one. He would have a different date each night. Mine was always the same. A friend that lived on the way to town. We wouldn't call ahead. Just head over to her place. She'd put on glitter lip gloss and be ready to go. We went on over 20 dates this way. Nights in the backseat sharing Taco Bell. Years pass. She has a question – "With all those dates... were we... dating?" We decide that we probably were. This is just how things work at times. You live your life. Then understand it later.”
