Nice article.
They always have and they always will. Dating is deciding if and when you are going to have sex the first time. After that is when the real getting to know a person matters. I got lucky and have been with the same great person for 34 years and the sex is still great, as many times as in our twenties, and attraction is still strong as ever. You have to have someone who charges your batteries to last. Otherwise, I would have stayed happily single forever.
