Throughout our college years Greg referred to the Greg _____ theory of dating. Now that he is a priest, he still encourages single folk to practice his theory of dating. There is a more elaborate story to the Greg theory of dating, but here are the basic premises:
1. The purpose of dating is to find an ideal mate.
2. There are a great number of people populating the earth. Approximately 6.6 billion people currently inhabit the world, that means there are some 3 billion potential mates for each of us. In actuality the number is reduced by the number of people who are already married, or not of the marrying age. However, the fact remains that there are large number of people that could be our potential spouse.
3. In order to reduce the number of "potentials" and place the odds in our favor, we must date many folks.
4. In order accelerate the process single folk should date lots of people to find a future spouse.
5. The Greg theory of dating boils down to dating lots of people at once to enhance the probability of a match. And, that dating is not a serious committment. If one knows on the first date it is not a match, move on!
I'm sure there are finer nuances to the theory, and I would be happy to discuss these with y'all.
This random post was spurred by conversations with Fr. Greg this weekend as he reminded me that I should try his theory of dating and that I might have better luck than the non-existent luck I am currently having. Thanks Padre Greg, I'll take that under consideration.
