I don't play games. Every woman's mantra when it comes to dating. My question then becomes what is considered a game? You don't call me, so I don't call you. Game. I'm going to ignore your next three texts since you ignored mine yesterday. Game. I'm going to write on my facebook status about how happy I am and how much I love life, knowing that we've been fighting, to make you question what I'm referencing. Game.
The dating game is something I will never understand, and although no one wants to admit that true love is a game, it is.
For the last few months I have been "talking" (one of those game-esque "titles") to a guy that I met downtown. Great guy, great morals, great body (go ahead, judge me). He has a child whom he loves more than life itself, and a job that he's dedicated to. He thinks it's his destiny to be with me. So please explain to me then, why he won't call for a few days because he's busy, yet when I don't call him, it's an issue. Why it's okay for him to respond to every other text from me, but if I allow more than 5 minutes between the receipt of the text and my response, I must be mad at him.
Double dating standards.
Games.
I've decided to play a little game of my own. It's called, date me and act like an adult, or don't date me and act like an adult. The rules are as follows: Admit you want to date, answer when I call, unless there is reason, call when you want to talk, and agree to not freak out when a response is not immediately rendered. Or, in the alternative, admit that you aren't looking for a relationship, don't call me every day (because "just friends" do not text/call non-stop), and don't ask me on dates. We're just friends.
Why does it seem as though those rules are impossible for people to follow? Silly people.
Is it Friday yet?
