Maybe it's better not to go on "dates" at all but instead to just get to
know people you find interesting. Anticipating keeping one's youthful vigor
for a long time would seem to take some of the urgency out of finding a
spouse or mate or whatever you want to call it.

Personally, I'd like to see prositution legalized and elevated to the status
of an honorable profession, so that the physical need to f**k could be
relieved and the process of getting to know a person intimately could
proceed in a more leisurely fashion. If you REALLY want to know someone's
opinons and taste and intelligence, you have to watch how they act over a
relatively long period of time, not just listen to what they say over a
candlelight dinner.
