D.A.T. I. N. G.

Discovering Authentic Trustworthy Individuals Never Guaranteed

By JD Mason on Unsplash

You never know what you are going to get when you’re dating.

People can be the opposite of what they are portraying.

Nice looks, but there character is flagrant.

I grow jealous when I see people have found their person — wishing that was me as I watch them celebrating.

It is frustrating in this thing called dating.

You have to constantly filter the real ones from the ones who are fakin’

The ones claiming they are single when in actuality they are taken.

The ones that claim they want a relationship but have no real intentions on mating.

Then there’s the ones who ask you to send nudes of yourself —without even considering to ask you “do you find nudity degrading”.

The world is aging.

Times are changing.

More people are feigning.

Genuine connections are fading.

I am constantly contemplating,

should I continue this thing called dating…?”

What is the purpose in me giving you my number? Why are we even engaging in numerical exchanging?

Everyone’s end goal is companionship, to marriage, to engagement. But, what is the purpose of giving us a shot when there is a great possibility that the relationship is going to lead to dissatisfaction and complaining which is ultimately going to end up in multitude of things ranging from —separation, divorce, and estranging.

If others is who you are entertaining,

and if you are engaging in unethical non monogamous relations,

just know that you are paving—

the road to a relationship failing.

You are the one who you should be blaming.

And not the temptation you are proclaiming.

Devoting Attention To Intentional Noble-minded Gentleman

Look at all who have went from who you were dating to who you have dated?

Don’t you see that actions commonly contradict the words they have stated?

Most men are more than willing to propose but what is their intent behind putting one knee on the pavement?

Some men want control and don’t want a woman to have her own because they want total control — succumbing her to marital or relationship enslavement.

Devoting Attention To Intentional Noble-minded Girls

On the flip side, there are some women that want a companion only because they can’t afford to do it all on their own because the prices on everything has inflated.

Then there are those who are dating only because they want to fulfill their sexual desires due to their hormones raging—

wanting to jump at everything just because their kitty box is tingling, throbbing, and pulsating,

thinking they have to obey their body because sex is what it is insinuating.

As for men, you don’t have to sink it in a hole every time you feel your rod and mushroom tip elongating.

Did you not know that during sex souls are entangling, and energy is exchanging?

But many are overpowered by their thirst and fall for anything instead of dehydrating —

and saving the moment for that one person that is worth the waiting.

Devoting Attention To Important Noble-minded Guys/Girls

But not me!

Instead of unintentional mating, and bad soul ties interlacing,

I am going to continue to keep my distance like a paragraph and double spacing,

until the day I am taken…

until the day I can find someone that shares similar aspirations…

And that similar aspiration shall be someone who is INTENTIONALLY dating.
