Why I'm Never Going to Date
This isn't a thread of whining or a cry for help. This is just a little update. Some of you may remember me as the romantic who, never having been on a date, desperately wanted a meaningful relationship with a girlfriend. Well, I still haven't been on a date, but I've come to realize that I am, in an ultimate sense, fortunate.
You see, a person can't compromise their core principles without losing the very meaning of existence. My personal morality is stricter than that of any major religion. I hold not merely to the "wait until marriage" standard but also to the belief that procreation must be the sole purpose and intent of marriage. I am also, of course, personally opposed to drugs, alcohol and tobacco. I would die any death rather than compromise these beliefs.
There are women who share my beliefs, but based on empirical research, I found that they are, without exception, intolerant ultraconservatives or extreme populists. Let's just say they wouldn't have accepted that gay beggar who was my only friend in the real world until his death. I would, again, die any death rather than compromise my belief in compassion, which is just as important to me as the discipline I described above. Neither is more important to me than the other; both are of infinite importance.
However, my beliefs are so unconventional that I honestly think that they are completely unique to me. I am certain that I will never find any woman who shares them, and I would not date any woman who did not. Accordingly, I hereby forever renounce all interest in any romantic companionship. Being a natural romantic, this is very sad to me, but that is life.
