The Dating Game

So tonight I went on a pretty good date I must say. I think dating is such a funny thing only because its like a job interview. You are asked about your background history, what you are doing now, your interests, and your main goal is to weed out the bad and find the good. I find that some people use dating as a way to find out if somebody is cute and date them based on that and tell themselves that they will work on the social connection later. That's whats wrong with America, or society in that matter, when we want something (like a boyfriend/girlfriend) we want it now now now! Why do you think fast food places were made? So my point being here is that one should take the time to go on several dates with one person to see if they have the certain qualities that they look for, then decide if this is the person that they want to be with.

So back to this date, I was very pleased that he gave feedback on answers that were under his own opinion. Usually when I go on a date, my date agrees with everything I say because they think I will like someone who is on the same page as me. In actuality, I like a guy who has his own opinions and can speak passionately about his own beliefs. Another thing I liked was that he showed that he didn't want to be rude when something came up, for example, when his phone went off he knew it would be rude to be on it but he had to check it so he told me he was sorry for that. All good pluses in my book. However, there were some moments where I was turned off, but they were rare moments. Any who, that's expected by anyone.

So going further back to what I said in the beginning, dating is definitely like a job interview, on the contrary, you are both interviewing each other. So what I am saying is, be the interviewer, don't focus on what he or she thinks of you, focus on what you think of them. Be confident, and be yourself.
