The Wonderful World of Dating: Who Wrote the Rules of Dating?
In the millennium the dating status quo has become such a modge-podge of ideals, morals and standards it can really be hard to find your bearings! It has become so hard, in fact, we spend more time questioning what's going on than we do experiencing it, and things are over before they've started, and no one knows what happened.
Is this a date, or are we just friends? Friends with benefits? Girlfriend? What is a girlfriend? What is a girlfriend supposed to do? Are we in love? Or do we just say it 'cause we're sleeping together? He bought me dinner, do I have to sleep with him? Or do I want to sleep with him? Will he even buy me dinner? Is this a one-night-stand? Is he interested in me? Am I interested in him? Where do I set my boundaries? Do I want boundaries? Should I spend the night? Do I want to spend the night? Will I get to even orgasm? Are we exclusive? Should I see other people? Are my options open? Do I want open options? Is there ever an answer? Am I looking for love, or am I looking for a good lay? Should I call him? Will he call me? Is he busy, or ignoring me? Dose he want a girlfriend, or a mother? I do not want to be his mother! Does he want to spend time with me? Do I want to spend time with him? Is he seeing someone else? Is he sleeping with someone else? Why is he single? Why am I single? Do I really want to talk to/spend time with/sleep with this guy, or am I just doing it 'cause there is nothing else to do?
Who wrote the rules? I would love to take a bat to the head of that guy!
