I have a secret...  I don't like the dating game.  I often wonder if it's as weird and hard for younger kids, in this day and age, as it is for mid-singles.  I know that when I was in highschool and college, dating was really enjoyable... of course there were funny, weird issues, but these days issues seems to be more frequent.

Actually, most of my dating experiences have been really good, I could say GREAT, in some cases!  The part I'm talking about being difficult is the in between time.  The "after the desicion to stop dating" or the time where you think someone might be into you, and you know you're interested, but the other person seems to have no idea that you are.  It's annoying! 

You sit there and weigh all of the different options... do you really want to stop dating?  If you've changed your mind, is it too late?  (Usually :))  How honest about your feelings should you be?  Do you take a risk?

Other things that are difficult... You see a guy that is obviously into your friend, but she's not seeming to notice.  Do you tell her?  Sometimes, I wish my friends would hint to the people I've been interested in, but of course there's a chance that would scare them away.  You see men being led on...  do you tell them?  This one is tricky, because a) guys think that it's jealousy, when I'm not, I just want to save them, or b) they just think I'm gossiping, and don't realize my intentions.

There you go!  I'm getting off my soapbox now!
