Pitfalls of Dating:
"Parroting" - How many people here have had endless conversations with others, where the most common response is "Oh I agree" or "Oh I like that too", only to find out that it clearly wasn't the case?
"Guarding" - Have you ever noticed that the things we most commonly guard about are the things most important to us? Isn't it better to put those things out there and see how the other person reacts? Isn't that what determines compatibility?
"Omissions" - How many of you have entered a relationship, only to find out about a secret that, if you had known before, you would have made a different choice? Why do we set ourselves up for failure that way? It's one thing to want to put our best foot forward...but we need to be honest about who we are, where we've come from, and what we want out of life.
"Exaggerations" - Have you ever picked up on something that the other person clearly liked, and sometimes even without thinking, embellished on it, or brought it out more than usual simply to impress? You see this quite commonly with women in regards to sex. This clearly doesn't work, because it's ALWAYS only temporary...you can't maintain something that clearly isn't "you" forever.
"Overlooking" - How many times have you noticed something that you really didn't like about someone, and decided it was A)no big deal or B)something to work on, only to enter a relationship and discover that it A)IS a big deal and B)you can't change the person? Lets not overlook the important things, people. A small pet peeve like nail biting is one thing...but the important things really should be examined well beforehand.
As usual, comments and critiques are welcome.
