Clearance Dating...

I can’t help but thinking when dating someone…”what’s wrong with him?”  I will think this before we ever go out.  When we do go out I will still think it, I actually want to ask but I know I won’t get a straight answer since most men (and women alike) don’t know what’s wrong with them.  My best friend is recently divorced not due to any fault of her own, her husband decided to no longer be an active participant in their relationship.  Therefore she is being forced into a dating world that she is unfamiliar with against her will.  I can’t even say she is “getting back into the game” she was never part of the game, she was with her husband since right after high school and as she mentioned to me the other day, dating in high school is a lot different then dating in your 30’s.   Getting back into the game is an understatement, she is playing a game she never played before a game where rules aren’t included in the box, and if they are they are most likely not in English.

            So she asked me “is dating really worth this?”  My response was simple…dating is like shopping in the clearance section you have to spend a lot of time looking, and usually you won’t find what you are looking for and if you do happen to find something worth while 9 times out of 10 once you bring it home you will find out there is something wrong with it.  I am pretty sure this was not the motivation she was looking for.
