Quoted:
I think you can date someone with no intention of marrying them. You'd have reasons for doing it... nookie... company... money.. whatever...
A few years ago, I missed out on this little hottie that liked to screw and such, but she was as dumb as a box of rocks and wasn't very fun to be around when we weren't between the sheets, so I didn't pursue it. In hindsight, I should have. Constant nookie would have been fun.
Now, I won't really waste my time anymore, but nookie would be desireable...

What happens when you knock that poor "dumb as a box of rocks" girl up? She's carrying your kid and maybe she plans on keeping it. Either way, you've just attached yourself to that girl, whether you plan on marrying her or not.
My father gave me two pieces of wisdom before he died.
1: Don't shit where you eat. That works on so many levlels, from the literal to a rainbow of metaphors.
2: Never screw anyone you can't stand to be involved with for the rest of your life. Mistakes/accidents happen and you have no honor if you don't live up to your responsibilities.
I've followed those two pieces of advice with excellent results throughout my life. Not that I didn't sleep with some crazies or some people who in hindsight were bad ideas, it was just that I didn't notice they were stark raving nutjobs at the time. After enough of them, I got good at avoiding them.
Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas...
