<\/div>\n
I was having a chat with one of my best friends in the whole world today. We haven\u2019t spoken in a few months; both of us have been so busy. My career is taking off and work keeps me busy all the time. She recently had her first child so she is acclimating herself to mother hood. After all of the catch up, we inevitably end up at the most discussed topic amongst women\u2026. Our love lives. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We both came to the conclusion that the Dating Game<\/a> is in a complete state of disaster right now; At least for people in our age group (25-35). Our first question was\u2026 Where the hell do I find someone to date? The club\u2026 clearly that\u2019s not the best idea. Then you run into the problem of that being the place your significant other wants to be every weekend. Your job? That\u2019s just a recipe for disaster (which deserves its own post)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a>So let\u2019s say by some miracle of nature you find someone that you like and you guys begin the process. Now you run into the issue of, how often should we talk? If I call or text your everyday, does that make me thirsty? Do I want to hear from you every day? How much interest is too much? What do you want from me? Are you looking for a good fuck? Are you looking for a Wife? Somebody to help you take care of your bad ass kids? Or someone to talk to? I can\u2019t figure out for the life of me why it is so difficult for people to just tell you want they want from the beginning. Why can\u2019t I just say \u201cI like you,\u201d and that be enough? Why can\u2019t we just be two people who enjoy each other\u2019s company and grow from there? When did dating become so complex? Ask yourself when is the last time you\u2019ve been on a date? A REAL DATE! The kind where the man picks you up or fellas you go pick the lady up. You go to dinner, enjoy a good meal and great conversation. Maybe a few drinks afterwards, trying to drag out your time because you don\u2019t want the night to end. Then you have that goodnight kiss and GO HOME. None of that trying to get in bed on the first night, developing a mutual respect for one another. Falling in like with personality not just in lust with looks. Finding yourself excited to talk to them the next day and eager to see them again. Talking on the phone till the wee hours of the morning all the while knowing you have to wake up early , but you don\u2019t care. Finding yourself smiling for no reason just at the thought of them. When is the last time you developed that type of connection with another person? <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Why are we so obsessed with the superficial? Men just want to have sex with as many beautiful women with big asses as they can possibly stick their penis in. And women just want to find the richest most famous man around just to fuck him in hopes he\u2019ll pay your phone bill and buy your little bebe kid some Jordan\u2019s. How did we stray so far? What happened that we have removed our feelings and passion from life? When did we become so afraid of being hurt that we stopped trying? How have we learned so well to ignore the innate yearning we have to connect with another human being? Since when did pretending you are to cool to need someone else become\u2026 well\u2026 cool? When did Men stop chasing and when did Women stop being the hope full romantics we were created to be?<\/div>\n
