- Did you ever hear Miss Manners' definition of dating? It goes something
- like:
-
- All dates consist of three things; food, entertainment and
- affection. At first, there is a lot of entertainment and only a
- little affection. As the relationship progresses, the entertainment
- is decreased and the affection is increased. When the affection
- *becomes* the entertainment, we no longer call it "dating". At no
- time may the food be omitted.
