So there's this video floating around about dating in the world today. It was dead on with so many points, I just wish the language was down a notch to share it on my other social media sites. The whole thing is based around the games people play when it comes to dating now, and how it's more about pretending you don't like someone rather than just telling them you like them.
In my own life, I've stepped out there many times to tell a guy I like him, I'm also not afraid to tell a guy when I just don't see it going anywhere. I can't find any good and valid reason to hide either of those feelings. As a general rule, I cannot waste my time in life and I've let too many good opportunities pass me by because I was too busy playing it cool and disinterested.
Dating isn't Netflix and chill, dating is when someone actually asks you out, when they essentially court you because they are interested in you and they want to pursue something long term with you. It's going out, being seen in public, learning about each other, and having fun with each other. Now don't get me wrong, I know that there are those that simply just want to hook up, that's fine too but be up front about it. Why are we wasting our lives pretending like we don't want something that we actually do really want?
I've been single for almost a year and a half now and I'm ready to date again. That doesn't mean I'm running to the alter, that simply means that I'm looking for someone that is consistent, stable, and someone that I can enjoy life with. The harsh thing is that even when I take that step to tell a guy I like him, there's still today's society standing in the way. I am a very honest person, I like being able to be who I am and putting however I feel out there into the universe. I don't like that I'm forced to keep everything contained and calculate how I behave or communicate. I am by nature a very passionate person, when I love it's with my whole being, when I'm hurt or angry it's all the same. I passionately feel with everything that I have. Why can't I just be that person? Why is it that when I'm really into someone, I fear that saying that will ruin my risk of having them around longer?
The world is messed up, and what I would give to go back and be alive three eras from today; but here I am, navigating in a place that I don't feel comfortable in. I'll continue to tell people when I like them, I'll continue to be as open as I can when I can, but it's something that while doing, also installs a great amount of insecurity and fear into me because really, who of us enjoys being rejected.
I want to see more people fight against today's world and they way it forces us to behave. Get out into the light, let the sun shine and let the love flow. We all hide in the darkness of our computers, our phones, and our tablets that we've become such a dark, depressed, and angry society. We spend far too much time hiding and hating instead of loving and celebrating who we are and what we've been given.
If you see that person you've had your eye on, go to them, enjoy life with them and when that moment comes take it! Hug them or kiss them, show them that you truly enjoy their company and value what they bring to your life.
