Again, I wholeheartedly agree - but for many of these folks, the dating scene is the immediate forum (for them at least) wherein their battle for personhood seems won or lost. Looking back now - in my own case, I feel I would have become a more mature, fully developed person - mentally and emotionally - had I spent *less* time getting involved with very unsavory women - merely to say I was 'dating' or 'in a relationship'.
If I had it to do over I think I might have spent more time - if I was on campus, in getting involved in various volunteer efforts. And - strange as it may seem, genuine relationships often blossom as a result of such involvement - in which 'dating' is not sought as an end in itself.
