From The Past: July 27, 2004

I was thinking about back when I was still in school. If we were dating someone, we would say that we were “going with” them. When someone wanted to date you, they would ask, “Will you go with me?”

I use the term “dating” now. Andrew is dating his girlfriend. He has been dating her for three years. It would seem totally funny to say that Andrew is going with Christina. He has been going with her for three years.

My dad used to say, “Where the heck are you going?” Now that I’m an adult I ask myself that very same question: Where were we going?
