Perhaps I love love and desire desire. But how am I to know whether this is only longing for longing or whether you are the you I imagine you to be? Where do we begin? The first date seems so much simpler on TV, where pop-up balloons and a host in the Matchmaker limo are there to interpret every movement, each exchange.
