中年ET

last week i was exchanging emails with ex-coworker, Jo, in LA
talked about the guys introduced to me lately

i was telling Jo how i dont get the current "SOP" of dating
i dont know what action is right or wrong. 
if that guy calling 4 times a night is OK nowadays?
(coz i know definitely not OK back in the old days)

then Jo replied saying yeah she discussed same thing
with her partner, Nana, just recently
she also doesnt think she can go out dating at this age
if without Nana she'd rather be single for the rest of her life

after 2 not so pleasant experiences
all i can say is i am really fed up with the whole dating procedure
i really wish i can pass all the guessing, pretending, faking part
and go straight right to the like a family part............... 

sigh.......................
