Why don't I look for other girls? I'm not sure if you're asking this as a joke or seriously. However, I will imagine that you are serious and the answer is really interesting.
I really don't know.

The answer is probably that... I don't want to look for more girls? However that may sound.
I don't want to. I don't feel any desire.
And your suggestion to do it, even jokingly, threw me for a loop. So would the suggestion to fly to Antarctica for two days. Or to buy a Ferrari.
I don't feel like it because I don't see the benefit.
"Why should I do this?" is the first question that comes to the back of my mind. And I don't get the feeling back. Just like today, when I was walking through the clothes shops and found a cheap but ugly jumper.
I don't see the benefit. And I don't need it.
I've never been a big boy. Or a big hoarder of things, for that matter, but maybe that's not the topic. Even in my peak girlie days, when I managed to go on three different dates with three different girls in a day, even then I wasn't the kind of person to hang on to several girls at once.
Here's a question: why should I look for a girl-not-a-friend to talk to when I can talk to you?
Why should I look for another girlfriend when I already have more than I sometimes want?
Why should I look for another hobby when I already have a bunch of hobbies that I like to do right now?
Why should I buy a new car if my current one more than meets my needs?
So that I can choose a better girl afterwards? A better girlfriend? A better car? ...Isn't that maniacal? What's it like - insurance? Like some girls do when they have a boyfriend and a lover at the same time?
(Just don't tell me you're one of those girls.)
No, I don't want to hang on to other girls. Because I don't feel any need to, if I can happily hook you up. Simple joys. Even more so - can you imagine two of you at once? One like you and the other, say, a book-reading kickboxer and a teacher of training seminars?
I would go crazy!

After writing this reply, however, I decided not to stop thinking.
From that thought, I went to buy a cup of hot chocolate, which I simply adore.
And as I descended in the elevator, I realised that the first answer is not the only one. As usual. I'm surprised how often people limit themselves to answering questions from only one position!
I was so confused, I guess because of another - simple - thing - I was afraid that you were serious.
It's funny, but if you had suggested it in a serious voice, I guess I would have dropped it as a joke and forgotten about it after a few seconds. ...Another time you said it in jest. In the middle of a not-so-funny conversation.
It is human not to enter into serious conversations at the first opportunity. That's what people do. I probably do it myself, although I can't remember a single time I did it now. But I am sure I have.

I don't know. I'm confused. I got lost.
This question, especially if the speech had not previously been on the level of jokes and ridiculous verbal flip-flopping, knocked me off my feet. And you were quick to notice.
You have eyes, what else can I say.
I don't want to hook up with other girls because... I don't want that.
Nobody said I couldn't. Thanks to this 100 People Challenge I've met quite a few charming girls. But none of them I wanted to talk to for more than half an hour.
I have to admit, even after writing this answer, I don't feel any stronger. It's a strange topic. And I only write a reply like this because I know that you like to pick other people's brains. That you like what I write. That I like writing myself. And that you, finally, like sincerity.
My God - I'm going to kill myself with my sincerity someday. But hopefully not yet.

And why don't you try to find other guys and hang on to them? What would your answer be? Write it down - I'm interested. 🙂
Confused and not looking,
Daniel
