Yeah, I make it a point to get to know someone BEFORE dating them, then continuing the process.
It's like going to the library. I don't just walk in, grab a book at random and walk out. I want a book that seems to hold my interest, that may be worth reading cover to cover. I will investigate the books (not judging them by their cover) and when I find what I think I might be looking for, Then I will take the book out...
and the analogy falls apart there.
no comments about overdue fines either, ok? lolz
