living in the wrong decade

either that or i'm just too much of a romantic. i have real trouble understanding the whole concept of not being able to wait a bit to find out if that person you're attracted to could become your significant other for a while. in a world where we work a lot, two weeks seems a bit short. especially if it's been impossible to find 'alone time' (as opposed to there being 20 other people around, i mean).

whilst i'm not out to find a husband, i still believe in minimal courtship, which i realise is totally outdated. i should have lived ten or twenty years earlier. or i should live elsewhere, say in a small remote village where the choice is smaller and thus things go less fast.
