I both agree and disagree. lol, I'll elaborate a little. I don't think dating is impersonal at all. What your describing to me is not dating. It's some crazy idea that I don't recognize. Dating to me, from a man's perspective is more like "Wow, I think you look amazing. I've only talked to you a little bit but I'm hooked. I'm definitely interested. I'd love to get to know you better. I'm going to be myself and let you see me, and I want you to be yourself so I can get to know the real you". To me, THAT's a date. It's not like "Well I'm holding interviews todays, please submit your application and give me references. Please include phone number and denomination please....I'll call you for an interview if you have the qualifications for the position".
Also, though you may say you have a low score when it comes to dating. YOU only think you have a low score. Let me tell you sis, there is a man out there (Not only man, MEN as in multiple) that are going to think you are amazing the second they lay eyes on you. They are going to love that you don't want to get trapped up in small talk and don't care about the "social rules". Just because you think that your low value in that department, doesn't think that all men are automatically going to think that.
That's my response, though I have to add. I don't believe in friends first. I believe in go for the Gold right from the get go or don't go for it at all. I'm not saying friends first doesn't ever work, but I think it's very primitive and useless in comparison to immediate pursuit.
