A Quote on Dating (for the gloriously singles)
From the movie Fools Rush In
"Jeff let me ask you a question: What the hell is dating anyway except some long drawn out process of elimination where you both try to present your best side while hiding the real you and that can only last about 3 months anyway because eventually it leaks out and then you have to spend the next 3 months getting to know your real selves and then one of you wants a commitmentthe other one wants to bail and then you have to start all over again. I mean dating...dating...dating is stupid." -Alex (Matthew Perry)

It's so true though...why can't we just dispense of the frivolities...and just get right down to the real deal. All this trying to be someone you're not just to please someone never made sense to anybody. 'Cause eventually everything will come to the surface and then you'll be sitting there wondering why you even bothered doing the dating "game" in the first place. Because that's all it is...it's a GAME.
You go play the game and then when the three months pass and you never get the winning score you've been rooting for...you're going to start thinking how much time you wasted on thinking -
what shoes to wear (high heels? flats? boots? sandals?), what dress to wear (flirty? slutty? cute?), UNDERWEAR (lacy? granny? racy? cutie?), what make-up to put on (foxy? sexy? demure?), what perfume to dab on (the come hither kind? or the subtle come close and take a whiff kind?), how to fix our hair...jewelry...thinking of where to go on a date (movies?)...where to go eat (italian? mexican?)...or do you just settle for drinks (a beer? some cosmos? martinis? margaritas? shots?)...kiss on cheek after? or a hug? or a cute and subtle kiss on the lips?...and THEN if the date is this really awesome person - your place or my place? (haha!) - which may not happen on the first date...
Like,seriously. I hate dating. My brain gets fried already on first date alone. (!)
Can't we just all be ourselves? Like, can't I just wear my baggy ripped jeans...a tank top...a hoodie...flip flops...and just kick it? This is me. Take it or leave it, buster.
Why can't we just have that attitude, "hey if you don't like me, then fck it. NEXT!!!!"
