“I married my best friend.”
This is the banner of so many who experience their love of a lifetime. Single men and women seem to have the same sentiment. However, when they begin dating that idea tends to fly right out the window.
So why do so many insist on dating someone they really don’t know . . . basically strangers?
Who are they? You don’t know. Who are you? They don’t know.
Getting entangled in the addiction of ‘wanting to be in love’ or giving into the age old ‘I want sex’ drive, too many singles continue to stay in a cycle of relationship pain. With the expectation of the current attraction, dating begins in the excitement of the hope that this could be the one.
But, what does that matter because in the fun of dating each will be discovered. Before too long, the passion ignited by the human hormonal cocktail leads to physical activity overpowering even the most rational mind. But the stark truth that appears once the onslaught of emotion dies down too often leads to the ever popular ‘breaking up is hard to do.’
The broken hope that this is not the one perpetuates the cycle of painful relationships for many singles today. How will single men and women ever get there – the love of a lifetime – when they start here – no idea of what they want or how to get it?
Is it even possible that men and women could refocus their pursuit from the hope of ‘this could be the one’ to the hope of wanting to ‘get to know you’ before the entanglement of two emotionally-driven hearts meet?
What do you think?
