[Sparrow]

i'll use myself as an example. my dad had little day-to-day interaction with me and with the job there wasn't ever a convenient time for us to do special outings and daddy/daughter things. my first experiences with being taken out came from my first long term boyfriend--who was a bit of a scum bag--and that consisted of sex. maybe dinner, not always. that didn't ever feel weird to me and still as an adult i don't expect much more out of the people that pique my interest. maybe for the best, i can't imagine being higher maintenance than i am already and it still doesn't bother me being a homebody of sorts, but in retrospect i think i may have short-changed myself some experience and romance.
