The Godfather Guidelines!

1. Acquaintances

We start with a lady named Debbie who works at a grocery store and how she becomes an acquaintance over time as a conversation grows.

As you get into your fifties, every seems to have been through enough relationships that they become single and independent. They like to have a companion, but are not really interested in romance. They are more like an activity partner and enjoy conversation. With getting to know Debbie as she is found to be stocking some shelves and you may have a bit more conversation with her, you learn of your common interests like going for walks and Debbie is willing to join you as you would explore the city together. Debbie would be a lady in her mid 30's to mid 40's. At this level, she is still a female friend with no romantic interests that you are aware of. As a part B, there is another scenerio that is called "Friends With Benefits" where you can be very romantic, but you go home at the end of the day and you are just helping each other out since both of you are single.

In this level, you find out that there exists a "connection" between you and Debbie and after your walks together, you go for coffee and talk more and more as you find yourselves drawn to each other.

Casual dating is where you just date to enjoy a good time and you can date more than one person since there is no commitment. With the case of Debbie though, you both want to date and get to know each other better as you might be candidates for being a couple at some point, but you both need to put the time in and talk about many things. In this arrangement, your female friends take a backseat and you do not date others since this lady just might be your life's partner.

After 7 or 8 months dating Debbie, you decide that both of you have found your partners for life. After 2 years you have seen your partner though many different scenerios and how they react. You create goals together and share your dreams of where you would like to go together.
