Casual Dating
Not too long time ago, I was reading magazine called Tokyo Notice Board. I did the photography for the magazine before, and I was leafing through it in coffee shop in Shinjuku. Then I saw the announcement for "International Casual Dating Club." I was wondering, what does "casual dating" actually mean?
Does that mean a relaxed date, when couple wears matching trainers, leaning back in restaurant and trains casually? Perhaps "Casual Dating" would mean hanging out in some casual place, like university campus or say, library. And the couple tells casual jokes, talks about casual topic like, say, a morning talkshow on TV, or global warming.
Maybe if you wear a tie, you are automatically kicked out from such club.
No, I don't think the advertisement meant that kind of casuality. I thought maybe it means dating without a deeper purpose. I don't know about others, but if I date a woman, I do want it to have a deeper purpose. Hell, yes. I want to love so that it's real, even if it would hurt at some point. That kind of pain is OK. If it's real love, it will hurt, and afterall there is nothing you could do about it. That's how we human beings are constructed.
Unrequited love is OK for me too. Whether I get feedback or not, makes no difference to my feeling. I want to feel such love.
PS. I bet Darth Vader don't like casual dating either. He is not that type of person. Plus I never saw him wearing trainers.
Pain, pain, pain, pain, pain.
