^ Yeah, I never understood it, either.
On a different note, I was just thinking that I’m grateful for some of the awkward things I experienced around dating when I was young. While they were embarrassing at the time, some of it is entertaining to look back on.
In my church, young people would have “get togethers.” The point of them was not just to hang out but to find someone to court/date - a potential “marriage mate.” Anyway, I ended up being the only woman at one of them. It was so incredibly awkward, but that’s where I met my first BF.
