Lelsia Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) This may seem like a man hating rant but I really need to get this off my chest.. I really don’t like all the games that people play in the dating world. I don’t mean to generalize, but having recently turned thirty it seems to me that even the guys that where once ‘nice guys’ in my age group play these games. Where does that leave ‘nice girls’? Yet another relationship for me is now over because of this. Relationships should not be about power plays and mind games, love should not be a battlefield, but built on a partnership of mutual respect and trust and just generally enjoying each other’s company, but why is this so hard to find? I’ve been dating long enough to know what I want, and recognize when I’ve met someone that wants the same things and know it could be something great. Is it such a bad thing to show affection and that you still have a heart? I’m not talking about being stalkerish or smothering, just putting some effort in to making things work and making the other person feel special, is that so hard to do? It seems that once one person starts showing their softer side, the other person walks all over them. Is this really what people have come to? Guys say they want a woman who is independent, strong and confident, but in my experience as soon as they meet a woman like this it threatens their egos and they like it at first but then put a wall up... and tell you to stop trying to control them. I don't want to give up on dating but I really don't think I have a choice at this point. Edited November 8, 2011 by Lelsia code showing Link to post Share on other sites
