Yes. That is the only way I can ensure some intelligent conversation ;-)
I sent my Soul through the Invisible,
Some letter of that After-life to spell:
And by and by my Soul return'd to me,
And answer'd "I Myself am Heav'n and Hell :"

Not now, because I would probably compete against myself in a dance off and break a leg or something stupid like that. But I would have dated me in my mid twenties... They were the fun years.
It must be so, I suppose.
No way, there are much serious people out there!
Dating demands a heart to start with and a preparedness to end with.
Between these two points you will enjoy dating yourself.
If you are cowardly to face the undesired better not date
“Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””
“If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
This makes a deep sense.
In fact I have seen people dating themselves and when they have to peaking it something gets in the way and a partner shrinks back. The other feels hurt. And prepares for another time and the first experience hangs on and things go on like ebb and flow unendingly and all else end up in getting no one who really cares for her. I have seen too many flaws when people date themselves. Dating becomes an obsession, a very bone-dry obsession

I always thought you were philosophical, now I know you are...
Well done my friend.
Maryd, can you teach me how to de-philosophize myself and come to terms with the commonplace

Blaze,
Dating oneself has two common meanings
1. (Pretty common, and the point of this thread) Imagine going to dinner or spending a romantic evening with ONESELF. You trying to get kisses from YOU, etc. Instead of dating a beautiful woman, you are dating YOURSELF. ('to date' means 'to have a romantic appointment, perhaps for dinner, etc.')
2. (Also common) This phrase can also mean "to provide evidence of one's age." So. if you say your first favorite band was the Beatles, that might place one's age in the 40's or 50's or whatever. And if one says that one doesn't know what an LP (long playing record) is, then maybe one is less than 20 years old... That is 'dating' oneself, ie. assigning some particular range of ages.
Maybe this will help explain the confusion between Blaze and MaryD

Thank you bill, I agree I had been slightly beside the point. Maybe dating is rather uncommon in the society I live in.

I think, then, you are probably referring to cases in which someone becomes, "introspective." Or, more harshly, "self-centered."

Maybe you are right bill
