Lesson One - Topic: Dating

Dating, when 2 people go out alone, usually more than once. There's no way I can cover all of the aspects of dating in just one blog post. Here I am just going to explain one thought I've had.

For many, dating is as unclear as mud. Everyone by the end of adolescences has experienced "The game." The period when 2 people try to impress each other. There's one question that comes to mind.

Q: "Why does this happen if 2 people are really interested in each other?"

A: This happens when one person is more interested than the other, or there is a miscommunication

My explanation:

If both people are interested in each other in equal amounts, and they're both communicating to each other, there shouldn't be a game at all. They both acknowledge that they like each other , and pursue on dating.

When one person likes the other more. There's uncertainty, One could be ready to make the commitment, while the other not. One could be completely in love, and the other completely not.

Communication: In dating, people do not want the other to show much more interest. For example, a Boy and Girl are beginning to date. The Boy only calls the Girl once a week. The Girl calls the Boy twice a day. She would be expressing much more interest. She continues this pattern until the boy loses interest. If she would of perhaps lowered the # of calls, the ending may have been different.

Why is this a communication problem?
Expressing interest is communicating, you're telling the other person how much you like them. In my example, the girl ended up heart broken. She should of acknowledged he did not want to talk on the phone that often. But even if she had lowered the # of calls, it doesn't guarantee to increase the boys interest. Perhaps he is just waiting for a better girl... (this will be addressed in a future post.)
