Are you really that thirsty?

Occasionally the desire to go on a wild shopping spree will hit me.  During that fanatic shopping excursion I might spend several hours going through store after store, carefully selecting and trying on many varieties of shoes.  At the end of my trip, my splurge might result in three or possibly even four pairs of new shoes to enjoy throughout the season.   Can you imagine, however, purchasing as many as ten or twelve pairs instead in just a few hours?  Even if I had the funds to warrant the expense of that many pairs of new shoes, would I have the opportunity to enjoy all of them properly?  More importantly, would I have made wise selections in that short period of a time?

The more time that you spend carefully selecting a pair of new shoes, trying them on, looking at them from different angles, walking around to sense their feel, the better you will know if you and the shoes are a perfect match.  Is a first date any different?  Why would you during this time of getting to know someone for the first time, to judge if you are compatible or if you have the right things in common, consume more than a dozen drinks in under three hours? Are you so nervous that you need to consume large amounts of alcohol just to conceal it or are you so confident in yourself that you believe that amount of consumption is somehow okay or even acceptable?  Can your thirst be so great that it outweighs the realization that any chance of moving forward with your possible first encounter has been crushed?  Dating etiquette can be very similar to shoe shopping.  If you stick to less than one purchase per hour, you are probably making very wise choices indeed.
