So he was dating because... he just wanted someone to talk to?
Speaking of society and relationships and kids... I just watched "The Lobster". What a mind f**k that was. I can't imagine the person who dreamt up the story line and what place they were coming from, but it makes some interesting observations on relationships and life. I also found it depressing as hell and I'm normal an upbeat kind of guy so not sure I'd recommend it to you.
Im really not sure why he was dating, I think at first he wanted something but then regreted it. He also offer to do "other things".
I will consider the movie :)
