At one time in United States history, men and women went on a few dates, then, were considered “a couple.” After a short time of dating, they got married and produced offspring. These universal size relationships were the norm. Now days, things are a bit different. The terms “friends”, “seeing someone”, “casually dating”, “companions”, “exclusive dating”, and “serious” mean different things to different people, but are often used interchangeably.
Dating, relationships, and sex have become more of a task rather than an enjoyable experience for some women. There is a point we reach. We get annoyed, frustrated, and exhausted -- because it seems as if every date is the same. We need to be on our best behavior. We need to dress to impress, have our nails manicured, put on makeup, and have our hair styled. During these dates, many times the conversation becomes stagnant and we get bored because the same issues are discussed; politics (he is usually a liberal when you are a republican or vice versa), family, work and/or school. We see the same people out wherever we go, order the same drinks and the same entrees, hoping that we will strike it rich, which in many cases is nothing but another let down! So how do we change this?
Does dating a variety of men simultaneously make it more interesting by breaking dating monotony or does it breed anger, frustration, and exhaustion? This depends on the female. It could help break the monotony, but it could also produce a lot of frustration and aggravation. We have to remember where male A went to school, where male B works, what male C likes to eat and what male D.s favorite sport is. Perhaps, for a short while it breaks the monotony and redundancy, but then we eventually end up back at square one! When we continuously play the field with two or more men, it could ultimately cause more stress than it is worth. So before you decide to take the challenge on, make sure you can handle it.
Excerpt
If you don’t want to date or be married, then take this time for self-development. Again, spend time with non-critical and nonjudgmental family and friends. Spend time on your career or go back to school. Figure our what is best for you. Don’t rely on others for self-validation because it does not come from others; it comes from within. Be aware of who you are and what you want out of life. We only get one shot at life, so please try to make the best of it.
