But...

As soon as I became single, my guy friends warned me about the tough dating world. "There are games...so many games...most men you meet will just want to sleep with you..." blah blah blah. One of my girl friends had a different view; she told me I didn't have to worry about a thing..."you're young, you're pretty and you're easy to get along with!" At the time, I wanted to agree with my girl friend.

Little over four months of dating made me realize that finding 'someone' had only a very insy bitsy thing to do with your age, your pysical appearance and friendliness. It is the first time I realized that the dating world IS tough out there.

For example: You meet a guy who you have a ton of fun with for 16 straight hours BUT you're not attracted to him in that way. You meet a guy who consistently treats you with thoughtful surprises, BUT it's just too awkward. You meet a guy who you actually like BUT you find out your brother is not fond of him, neither is your sister or both! You meet a guy who motivates you and is utterly attractive, BUT he reminds you of your ex. And...you meet a guy who is so warm hearted and has taught you how to love and be loved, BUT...

I'm not a type who is very critical and judgmental of people that I date. They say you have to connect. I connect with many potential people out there on different aspects and in different levels...BUT where is the balance and satisfaction? Or does it even exist?

It's completely fine to just be 'okay' with something BUT if you rather admire and enjoy what you're about to endeavor, the key is you have to WANT. You have to want what they have...BUT...
To every key though there is an inlet, an entrance whereby the critical question must be asked..
BUT do you have what they want???
