Some people date to find a partner. Some people date to get laid. I would say that within a few minutes of being on the date, a person has decided whether they want to get laid, or if the other is a potential partner, or even neither. But yes, some people outright go on dates with no visions of the future, just looking to score. I don't think that's the majority, at least not where I'm from. If it's like that in the States, that's got to be tough to handle. So if you want to find a potential relationship partner, what do you do, if not go on a date first? Seems crazy.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
