dating? not us.
i somehow got onto the subject of dating with one of my canadian friends. which reminded me of the time i moved to vancouver (3 months ago) and i was confused about this whole concept of dating that seemed to take place in these parts. i wrote home to one of my good friends to see if he could offer any advice and this is what he sent back… i hope he doesn’t mind me posting it…
Dating? I’m Kiwi. Kiwis don’t date. We get drunk and pash. If we have sex more than once, then we’re going out. If we stay together for 7 years without either getting married or having kids, we have to get married, or break up. Simple. Why would I know anything about the subtle and complex art of dating?
needless to say, it never worked out with the guy i was seeing at the time. maybe i have a few things to learn.

Its pretty true what he said tho
I had to consult urbandictionary to learn the definition of ‘pash’. I enjoyed that it is a derivative of ‘passionate’. Much more civilized than ’snog.’
When I started dating back in Mexico, it involved the occasional serenade and sometimes going to the extent to having to ask permission from your date’s parents.
Although, over the years these aforementioned traditions started to fade-away and people started taking dating in a more casual sort of way. So kudos to that!
