L Let’s talk about the love game or the game of dating. Yeah, I think some people consider dating as a game. American movies portray it as such in my opinion. We know that a game has a winner and a loser. A game also has players and a set of rules. The players in this play are the two persons that are dating but there is only one rule. The loser is the one who chases.

GUESS HE WANTS TO PLAY, SHE WANTS TO PLAY

We already have encountered this love game that I am saying at some point in our lives for us who already have dated. The typical example of this is that the other person will play out as he or she may seem not too eager like he or she will wait an hour or a freaking day to reply. Heck even just accepting a friend request, we wait. I am guilty of this. Haha! Another example is that the girl will just call for the guy’s call after the date or in our own culture, maybe the girl will wait until the guy will make the first move or “ligaw”.

Well… It is really a push and pull of the two opposing love birds. In our country, it is prevalent that the guy courts the girl and thus we likely think it should be that way. We think differently of a girl who does do the first move but when a guy does the same thing; no one bats an eye. It is a double standard thing. Some of you may argue otherwise but in my opinion, it is completely normal. If a certain female wants something and sets her eyes to have what she wants to carry out, it means she’s empowered. Almost all my female friends are empowered ones but with a kind heart. I don’t why I am drawn to them but maybe because my mother is a good example of a lioness. Haha!

IT’S COMPLICATED & STUPID

With that point done, I think when it comes to dating, I don’t believe in playing the game. I mean why do we have to play it? The end point is for the both parties to check if they would click; if the other person is the one. (This part is an another debatable thing haha) I get why most people do this because they want the other person to value them for all the hardships and sacrifices in order to them. I also believe in that but there are also stories that relationships still didn’t work or the person who made an effort still called it quits after getting the person.

ARE YOU IN THE GAME, DANS LE LOVEGAME

With that point done, I think when it comes to dating, I don’t believe in playing the game. I mean why do we have to play it? The end point is for the both parties to check if they would click; if the other person is the one.

At the end of the day, I know that what works for me might not work for you but you don’t have to play the love game to meet your partner and have a fulfilling relationship.

You have probably guessed by now why my outfit is a bit sporty. We’re talking about a game just seconds ago, right? I opted to wear a thrift varsity jacket to give off that sporty coach vibe and I paired it with my matching pair of shorts. Underneath the jacket is a simple printed white t-shirt for contrast. It also gave off a character to the getup. To make me more athletic, I wore a high length white socks paired with my white slip-on.

So there guys, what do you think? Do you agree? Sometimes dating is fun but honestly, I’m just tired of the cat and mouse play. Again, why do we still do it? Haha! See you. 😉
