Welcome to Friends and Benefits. Follow our new sex and relationships columnist into the lives and psyches of men and women, young and old, gorgeous and tragic, divine and insane. All names and identifying details have been changed to protect the privacy of the bachelors in question.
This is a column about dating. What is dating? It’s a kind of optimism, in yourself and in the world at large; putting it all out there to feel something—to be scrutinized, rejected, used, and maybe changed forever.
I’m 29 years old, and have spent the last half of my life dating: I’ve dated across the country and across the internet. I’ve dated for romance. I’ve dated for sex. I’ve dated for sport. I’ve even tried to date for money. I believe deeply in love, all the while questioning what it even is.
