Life is a game.
Warning, do not read if magic to life comparisons make no sense or offend you.
SO, I've decided to start looking at relationships the way I would a game of magic. I mean, if you think about it, we've all got a deck of some kind. . . which is yours?
Some of us are aggro decks- we come on really strong, force the other person into liking us, but burn out really quickly. Plus a few choice cards can just destroy our game play, and we run out of cards in hand and have to hope for the top deck.
Others of us are combo decks- when we go off, we go off BIG, and the game is won. Meet the right person, play the right cards and you're in a long term relationship that works out for a good chunk. GG, clint. Of course, you have a tendency to just crap out and lose to any other format. When things are right it goes off.
The real problem here is- I play control. Can you play control in life? Yes, but it makes you not a good person. A control player manipulate's his cards, his opponants cards, the playing field to get the W at all costs. This means moving other peoples lives around, baiting out the counters, and removing other creatures (in this case other contenders for your potentials affection) from the game. The idea of being cutthroat enough to live life this way is horrifying to me.
Which deck do you use?
