I am twenty years old and I still feel like I am sixteen dealing with the high school football player. I have been telling myself it'll be different once I'm older, but years have passed and I'm still in the same place. Why? Why do us girls let this continue, the games. It seems as though they never end! I currently work at a restaurant, and I over hear customers and my coworker conversations who are in their thirties or forties and even they still deal with the same thing. Does this ever end? The constant guessing game on whether or not they're into you or maybe they're talking to other girls too. Can we talk to other guys too? Do we want to? I mean we know what it's like being just "another option" so should we put someone else through it? Is that how you play this game of dating? It's always the same thing every time too.
*Warning explicit language*
1. First it's all butterflies getting to know someone and finding out you have so much in common.
2. Next is the first few times you two are together whether you're out to dinner, staying in and watching movies, etc. it's nice. You get all worked up on what to wear because you want to look amazing, but not too overly done.
3. Then there might be phone calls, cute messages while you're away at work, surprises even.
4. And then things shift..
5. He isn't answering you as fast as he did before. Is he busy? Is he not interested anymore?
6. "Do I sound crazy?" is the most common thought during this stage, the what happened stage.
7. Conversations start to run dry and you try to think of things to spice stuff up.
8. This is the make or break usually. Either things fall apart and you/the other person give up effort or they realize your worth.
9. Next is either wine and girls night or night in with lots of happiness, rainbows and love.
10. Lastly is you moving onto the next and restart this process over or you two ride off happily into the sunset.
And now here we are, the miserable lonely people because the happy lucky people have found their other person and we're stuck reading this.
