Congrats, WSLer. I’d love to have a date, but my wife would be rather pissed about it. ---

So, I’m not clear – where’s the downside in actually _dating_ the lovely Amanda? Go for it, guy. ---

“handy, my statement is based on such a search from a couple months ago. There were only a few results. This is compared to almost 20 pages of results for my current location.” for my area a couple months ago there were only two pages too, but lately, like this week, there were 6 pages all of a sudden. ---

I haven’t been on a date in ages although I still get to engage in over the top animalistic sex, there’s just less growling because we don’t want to wake the children. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by UncleBeer \* > \*\*Ya know, this is really fucking annoying. \*\* Okay, I’ll be good, I promise. As for there being a downside to dating Amanda, well, I’m not interested in her in the dating leading to a romantic/kissing/fooling around/having animalistic grunting type sex kind of relationship, I’m interested in having a _friend_ type relationship with Amanda, and she is looking for the same thing from me. Fair enough? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-went-on-my-first-date-in-over-2-years-last-night/141246.md?page=1)
