Dating
Game,
How Far Do You Want to Go?
Choosing the right person to start the dating game requires some self
assessment. Why do you want to spend time with another person? How much
time, and what do you hope to get out of that time spent? Is there a
certain type of person that is ideal to spend time with, or will just a
person of interest do?
Something to think
about! Now what do you want in a
relationship? Are you looking for someone to meet your needs, stimulate
you so your life will not be boring? How far do you want to go in this
relationship?
You want the right
person, but what do you bring to the
table? Who are you? What do you like to do? How well do you get along
with others? Are you open to compromise? Do people like you? What do
people think of you, say about you?
If this is not
clear in your mind, then registration in
online dating sites won’t do because you don’t have
a clear
picture in your mind of what you want. Right now, if your starting
point is what you don’t want, then start there.
The problem with
relationships, one or the other has a
clear objective and the other is led unsuspectingly to disappointment.
It is what it is: a chance to swim in an ocean full of fish, narrow
your choices, make the catch of the day and release.
That
doesn’t sound very pleasant but a quick
reflection on your dating experiences—if one chooses to be
honest—confirms what has been written. Acknowledge the truth.
Give the other person a chance to play the game with you.
That’s
the only fair way to deal in this game. Oops! Okay, maybe you are
offended at the thought of it being a game.
Remember, every act has a consequence. Nothing in life is just a casual
meeting, fling, or thing. What you do and how you do it affects others.
That is the world we live in. You are an adult. You deal with adults.
Adults can choose whether they want to play the dating game or not. We
reap what we sow. So what would you like to reap for your dealings with
other people?
