To date or not to date

I have been thinking about the ups and downs of dating a lot lately, and pretty much trying to figure out why I bother doing it at all after all the bad/stupid/weird/inane experiences I've had in the past year or so. And then I come across this post:

and I think there may be hope yet of finally having a normal, adult experience. And not as in "adult films" but as in adults actually acting as such, actually acting respectful and responsible and not like the 12 year olds most men wish they still were. Sure, we all f-up from time to time (some more often than others), but if other singles in the NYC metro area can actually apologize for it, get over it, and forget about it, then I might have a tiny chance of growing less jaded with time, instead of more. I have another date tonight; we'll see.
