So, it has been a while.

Anyway, the other day I was asking a few people what they thought about dating in general.

Is it wrong or should it be encouraged?
The truth is no matter how many times we deny it, we have at one point in our life had that one crush from high school ( And had little dreams of butterflies flying in the air and etc.). But do many of us actually do take the chance to ask that "special" someone out? And how many of us actually succeed in getting that person of our "dreams"? Statistically, we would have better chances in getting free food for lunch.

Girls have often asked me why do other girls seem to have boyfriends and they don't. My answer; "You said No".
Simple... obvious and straight to the point. You do not have a boyfriend because you said no to the first guy who asked you. Its nothing to feel ashamed or shy or guilty about. Do not worry too much. Honestly, the stuff girls do just to get the attention of boys astounds me. Its true that when ever we girls wish to go out, we take the extra trouble to look nice or decent. Yet craziness happens when its taken to a whole new level (but lets not get into that).

Boys, ah boys.. the trouble with you to be honest is that you aren't confident in yourself. You run at the opposite direction at the mere sight of that one "girl" and then throw the words "I love you" in her face. You have to understand this, as much as you love this girl; you can't just throw words like that. Be careful of whom you give your heart to and please start slow. Breathe a little, learn to talk to her. The problem starts when you treat her as this Goddess and stop looking at her as a person. Note; try hanging out with her before you decide to let out the "L" word.

Dating is something that has become almost the norm in our life but we have to understand why our parents and elders do not encourage it.

1) safety.
2)You are going out with a stranger.
3)You get so involved in the relationship that you loose focus in your studies.
4)You get so depressed for getting dumped that you loose focus in your studies.
5)You start dating the wrong person whom is in the wrong crowd.
6)You date someone whom does not treat you rightly.
7)You get used.
8)You are cheated on.

*and the list goes on.

Ultimately, our parents cannot stop us from dating. And the decision honestly comes down to us and our principles. And no matter whether we decide to date or not to date, we should all realised what we are getting ourselves into (especially when we say yes.).
