Okay so the last time I was in a 'serious' relationship (if it could be called that) was way back in 2005. Well it ended in 2005 but that's not the point... well it is but... okay right the last time I dated a guy seriously was about three years ago!
We had gotten together when I was 15 and he was my first for various reasons, which I am sure you can guess what I mean when I say that.
Anywho! So the other night I went on my first 'grown up' date. I've been on a few dates over the last couple of years, which have been more 'immature' or have been absolute disasters! Including one where they guy spent the whole time discussing his ex to which I told him to get back with her already!! Or another where I ended up turning it into a one night stand.... so yeah there have been flaws on both sides.
What I really want to know is when did dating become a game of chess or hell even warcraft (I've never played either)
Who changed the boundaries and re-wrote the rules whilst I was busy off doing my own thing? Huh? Because I'd like a quick word with them in a darkened alley with a baseball bat thank you very much!
As Carlene says 'a punch in the face is free thank you very much' and the way the rules have changed I reckon I've had my fair share! Sporting a few too many bruises for my liking as well!
On Thursday I am seeing him again, going bowling and for a meal. Which reminds me I haven't text him back yet (no not about the date just a random text!)
Right as I was saying... the dating game.
Everywhere I look online the theories and rules seem to disagree! Yes to kissing on the first date on one and no on others. Should girls be more forward? Should the guy pay for the whole date? What to talk about? What not to talk about?
If I'm honest it's all a little bit much to deal with.
So my question is...
Do the rules really matter or is every game a litte bit different depending on the people playing?
