Dating….. the minefield that litters your life until you meet ‘the one’, or at least ‘the one’ of the moment. Before, dating and relationship advice used to be confined to sleepovers and wine bar meetings with girl friends, now they have films laying out relationship woes for the world to see.
Romantic comedies of old were about boy meets girl, they fall in love, something happens that separates them, but they end up together in the end. Now, romantic comedies consist of boy meets girl, they hate each other or have to put up with each other, however they end up falling in love (Ugly Truth, What Happens in Vegas and The Proposal). Or they are the romantic comedies that show the pitfalls of relationships or the neuroses of women, films such as He’s Just Not That into You and How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days.
The beginning of a relationship is meant to be exciting and about getting to know each other. However, because of our preconception with romantic comedies the paranoia of why he hasn’t called gets in the way of your everyday life. You spend your days watching your phone and only be disappointed when it rings and it’s your friends wanting a catch up, this should not be the case, waiting for a loser could mean you miss your Mr. Right.
Some girls may even feel as if it will never happen, especially when celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston can’t get a date.
In times of relationship advice, the friends you need to talk to are the ones who are going to be honest, not the ones that say if he hasn’t called, he may have lost your number, something may have happened etc. These types of friends aren’t helpful if it’s meant to happen he’ll call and if he doesn’t his loss. You will more likely find someone when you least expect it, I know it’s a cliché but I know many people this has happened to as you are just yourself. It’s nice when he does but if it gets serious great is not it was a life experience and something you can look back on with fond memories.
Dating is a something that will forever plague you, mainly because women will never understand men and men will never understand women!
