I could be flawed in my perception, but I think of time as an arbitrary thing. An element designed to give us a framework by which to base the pace at which we’re going, and to tell us when to start or stop doing something.

I’m thinking of time in terms of relationships. What determines the pace of the maturation? Should you kiss on the first date? Should you wait four dates, or three months to have sex? What if you have five dates in two weeks? Do you still have to wait?

When it comes to dating and mating, time is arbitrary. The only compass you need to guide you is your heart. Sure, you need to use your brain to make logical decisions. It’s not smart to be stupid. However, arbitrary timelines don’t matter as much in the context of getting to know someone. You can get to know someone just as well in two months as you can in six months. It’s the depth of your involvement that determines maturation.
