I was recently introduced to Amy Webb's TED talk on how she hacked online dating. While hilarious, and quite true and correct statistically, I must admit that the message she left me with was simple, "to get what you want, make your own rules."
In today's day and age, all of us with our own individual talents, our unique personalities, and our little quirks are looking for that uniquely different match. What really matters is how far are you willing to go, to get what you want. Ultimately its down to your efforts and luck, but what also matters is how much are you willing to put into the relationship.
That is hoping you know what you want. It's surprising to see how many people don't know what they want, and keep shuttling from pillar to post, in search of that perfect someone. Those people ultimately end up confused. I like A's eyes, and B's smile, and C's style... go on order a kabab platter... a little bit of everyone ;)
Then there are those who have converted dating into a game.
"If you ask her out one evening, and she says she's busy, you must refuse to go out with her the next two times she asks you, saying you are busy (even if you aren't)! That's how one must play the dating game," says a friend. I think that's funny, for it sounds like a clear case of ego. The games people play!
I once heard, 'Treat a woman like a Queen and she'll make you her King, treat her like a game and she'll tell you how it's played.'
To each his/her own, remember you make your own rules, you may not find what you want, but if you try sometimes, well you just might find, you get what you need. Oh and remember to thank Rolling Stones for that!
