Date a girl who dates. Date a girl who spends her
money on boys instead of books or clothes or travel. Who has problems with closet space
because she has too many boys stacked up there. Date a girl who has a list of boys she wants to date and that's what she ever wanted to do.
You’ll know when you see her because she'll have a boy around, taking her instructions. She’s the girl sitting with her boyfriend in the coffee shop down the street. Sit down. She might give you a glare, as most girls who date do not like to be interrupted. He might give you a glare too because boys who date also do not like to be interrupted. Ask her if she likes the boy who's with her.
Buy her another cup of coffee.
Let her know what you really think of the guy she's sitting with.
It’s easy to date a girl who dates. It's much tougher to date a girl who doesn't. That element of coercion is no longer considered legal in most countries. Give her boys for her birthday, for Christmas, for anniversaries. Give her the gift of men. Give her Homer, Joyce, Neruda, Pound, Sexton, Cummings. Or other men without funny literature-type names.
Lie to her. If she understands men, she will understand your need to lie. It will not be the end of the world.
Fail her. Because a girl who dates knows failure.
If you find a girl who dates, keep her close. For obvious reasons. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a boy to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. And him. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. Though the guy might too, sometimes. Lose the guy preferably.
Date a girl who dates because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. But if you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who dates.
Or better yet, date a girl who dates girls.
