going on dates to just go on a date

[laidbackfella]

Perhaps I am focusing too hard on the original question which asks:

do you agree to go on dates with people you don't have an interest in just to go out on a date?

How in the world could this be viewed as a positive interaction or even a learning experience?

You don't have an interest in the person.

You, more than likely, are viewing the date with totally different outcomes.

You, more than likely, will not tell the person, "Hey, _______. I have no interest in you. I'm just going out cuz I wanna go on a date."

Maybe it's me but a person's perceptions are more than likely still going to shape their reality in the end.

if you have little interest in that person...

Little would mean some.

But she said:

She's speaking of none.

Which, in the end, can't lead to any productive social interaction.
