Lorna,
At this point, I will assume that you have probably had your fill of speaking to people about the events of last week. However, in case you would like to speak to someone else, I would like to let you know that I am available to listen to you.

Lorna,
I have used the wonder of the internet to look up your pop culture reference, but I am still not certain as to what you meant.
Please keep in mind, I have never taken part in the "it's just a date" idea. Different people have different ideas of fun, and to me, spending time with someone simply because of the way he looks is quite a foreign concept.

C,
All hail the mighty internet. Todd was the name of Elizabeth Wakefield's boyfriend. He too was pretty, yet useless. Like I said it wasn't a very good reference.
Oh, I'm aware. I'm just telling you why I went out with him. It's not a complicated equation or anything. He was cute, he asked and for a while, it was fun. That's all that I'm really interested in right now. I've done the 'get all invested, imagine forever and then realize you're too screwed up for that sort of happy ending' relationships. They're rewarding but oh, you pay for it in the end.
It's like going to the movies...okay, yes, usually you want quality and not just a way to pass the time. But sometimes you want a lame monster movie and not Citizen Kane. I'm in the market for silly buddy flick, not Best Picture of the Year.

Lorna,
That is a very interesting idea. Well, I suppose that if it is fun for you, this is what is important. Where do you meet these men you date? I know that it is not at work, unless you have another job.

The usual places. Which...of course you probably don't know because you don't date. Um, dance class, bars, clubs, through friends/acquaintances. Going out places. The bookstore. The grocery store. There are people everywhere.
I don't spend all my time at school, you know.

Lorna,
I am well aware of the fact that you do not spend all of your time at the school especially considering the fact that you are not one of the current residents at Xavier's. I also realize that the world is full of people.
However... you would actually agree to go out on a date with someone you met for the first time? You say yes to a man you happen to meet at the grocery store? On the spot without knowing anything about him other than the way he looks, and perhaps his shopping habits?

C,
Well, how else are you supposed to do it? Dating friends or coworkers? That always leads to badness. Trust me, I'm an expert.

Lorna,
At least that way you already know something about them, though? That sounds better to me than dating someone you do not already know anything about.

It's a matter of preference I guess but...dating is about getting to know people. Seeing how you match, learning about them. If you're going to start dating a friend, how is it any different than just being their friend and adding making out?
Though, to be totally honest, when it comes right down to it, long term? I'd want him to be my friend as well.
