Aren't we dating to find the person we want to marry?

That's right, girl. The main reason people date is because they are trying to find the right partner. You will know whether the person you are dating is compatible with you after having been with him for some time talking about things that do not really matter, and things that truly count. If you share the same interests in various topics you usually move on to the next level of knowing the guy. His interesests, his plans, the family, his friends, how he spends the weekend. Others though may be using dates for other purposes but that's beside the point. Let them worry about that. Of course, we go through this experience because we are doing our best to be able to pinpoint the one who suits us best. For everyone deserves nothing but the best.
