Dating: 2 in/1 out
Okay, suppose you've met a two interesting women. You begin to date them both casually. They're both loads of fun. You like them, they like you. But one edges out there other and you're on the verge of intimacy. Obviously the right thing to do at this point is to give up the other girl.
But do you call her? Or do you just cut contact? What's the best policy, and what do you say? "You're wonderful, I really like you. But I'm starting a relationship with someone else. I'm sorry!"
God, so atrocious in the Old Testament, so attractive in the New--the Jekyl and Hyde of sacred romance.

If people are good only because they fear punishment and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.
