Because the way I see it:
observe potential partner that you find attractive
See if you have matching personalities and both like each other
Gradually become comfortable with each other
Do the grown up


And thats about it....maybe its cause I just got out of high school and im a freshman in college so I have never had to "approach someone whom I didn't know anything about"...

What I notice is that a lot of people on this forum are utterly incapable of distinguishing between a general statement (i.e. one that is broadly true, but has exceptions) and a categorical statement (i.e. one that is true of every single person). A lot of people on this forum treat every statement as if it were categorical. So, if you say anything about anyone at all, somebody always has to jump in and say, "That's an overgeneralization."

Ugh!

Way too many threads get bogged down in that kind of endless, needless nit-picking...

Absolutely. Paralysis by analysis is a godawful way to live. And nobody wants to be tethered to someone who dithers over every. single. thing.

Paralysis by analysis, love that!

My feeling is that there is too much thinking and not enough doing going on. We used to learn by trial and error. Nowadays it seems some people want to take shortcuts to get what they want with no risk, only reward, so they ruminate but don't take action.

Come back when you're 30 and unmarried and can't figure out why things don't work "the way you see it."

Love that statement, "Paralysis by analysis" btw; or, someone's been watching too many episodes of "Seinfeld".

I believe it.

You just have not lived long enough to understand why people do what they do.
