Dating is like Touch-Football

Dating is like playing touch football with a bunch of teenagers who just hit puberty..

Its painful, it has no point and really in the end you walk away hurting all over and wondering why you even played..

The dating game is set up much like a highschool touch-football game. Everyone is placed into a team. Of course you lose out to the fastest guy, the prettiest girl and so on. And once the teams are filled your left with a sideline of losers who want to play but weren't cool enough to be picked..

So we sit and watch everyone else play hoping that maybe if we cheer hard enough we will be noticed and maybe picked the next time around..

.

So we sit and watch our prettier friends get bashed, beaten, tackled and all around bruised and scratched up....and we still want to play?.

Its a painful train wreck to watch and yet we still want to participate in it. Than finally someone gets injured and one of us sideliners gets pulled in. And we are all excited and ready to play. And our teammates give us all these "tips" on how to play..

Honestly...we should have just read the rule book or just paid actual attention to what they were doing and concluded what not to do. But we are so excited to be apart of the team we just do what they ask. The game ends...they walk away and the lil sideliner crashes and burns from inexperiance and pain..

They say, oh you'll get better with more practice! So keep trying!.

Finally one day you have that one kid, whos sitting on the sidelines watching. And he or she goes...screw it this is stupid. And decides to play his own game. Which only requires two players..

So he goes to his little corner and plans his game. Now he looks for another player. But for someone strange reason...no one will play. Why? Because its not "cool" so hes left in his corner waiting for someone who's willing to play a whole new game..

So the question is, are you game for a whole new game?.

Are you willing to play?.
