I’ve written a few posts about dating. Examples of how not to message a girl while online dating: parts 1, 2 and 3. My dating tips for guys. My take on being single. I’ve had many interesting conversations with friends – both men and women – about dating, being single, and relationships. And then I came across this post in an e-magazine I read – and it could not have come at a more perfect time (see link below after my rambling).

I enjoy hearing different takes on dating because there is no secret formula. What works for one couple will not work another couple. And that’s the beauty and the frustration of dating all at the same time.

Here is the post that spawned this post, along with recent experiences. I agree with some of this post and don’t agree with all of it. We all go into the world of dating with one thing in mind that, with certainty, morphs over time into another thing. We can’t expect to know how a relationship is going to start, progress and/or end (if it does). And a relationship should definitely be a give-and-take (greatest point of the article) – whether dating, engaged, or married. Both parties should make an effort! Enjoy reading!
