I heard this song earlier today and thought...I dig it. I guess we always think we're ready for love, especially when we are single and "searching." I actually felt indifferent about..."love" after listening to this song. In this society and these times, love has a new definition. It's very short term. Instead of "I love you," I feel we should start saying "I want to be obsessed with you until I'm not anymore." I meet men pretty regularly and they are all looking for a woman that they have created in their minds. Good luck fellas! Then there are the women who are looking for a man that could star in an animated Disney princess movie.
I no longer live in this haze. I am a clear thinker and as an observer in the nightlife as a single gal...wow!! Very entertaining. No one is ready for "Love." We are ADHD daters. We lose interest in each other quicker than hyper colored t-shirts from the 80's came and went. I loved those by the way. The 40's and the 50's would be ashamed of our behavior. Sit still people, give each other a chance. First impressions are not the end all.
I don't say this as a bitter single woman, I say this as someone who notices how mentally unhealthy we are. I have let go of all expectations in regards to dating. I actually meet someone and embrace them if we have a good time together. When it's over and chances are it will be rather quickly, it's over. It's a square dance. The only difference for me is, I refuse to dance with the same partner twice. I love history, but I won't live it.
Just some random thoughts provoked by a Bad Company song.
"Now I'm on my feet again, better things are bound to happen. All my dues surely must be paid. Many miles and many tears, times were high, but now they're changing. You should know that I'm not afraid."
I totally agree. As much as I think guys are quick to leave because they think their made up girl actually exist, I also leave because I think my made up guy actually exist. I complain about them but I am just as bad as they are. I think it is our generation, our age and having dated for thousands of years.
ReplyDeleteIt's unreal. I feel like things just changed over night, but in reality I feel it's our age. Once your at a certain place in life, all that's left over are damaged people. Trying to get involved with a damaged person is like trying to ride a sea turtle, you are probably too heavy and they are probably too lazy and you're going nowhere.
