Dating at 25

dating at 25 can be an overwhelming and incredibly fucked up experience. with a few little tips from someone who knows nothing except for how to be 25, I hope you will at least find humor in the trials and tribulations of dating, no matter what age, and hopefully realize the plethora of women who are still seeking for just Someone- not just "The One".

The first thing you have to do is discover what you want in a man.

Phyiscally, for example: How old? What color? How tall? With or without hair? may be a few questions you want to ponder. Emotionally is he: Mature? Aware? Content? and Mentally is he: Competent? Affluent? Educated?

Secondly you must consider his level of courteously: Does he open doors? Call you mother ma'am? Speak highly of your friends? Make you dinner?

Next component is extracurricular: Is he active? Does he have hobbies? Do you share these hobbies (or at least find them interesting)?

All of these questions can be answered "yes" or "no" depending on what you prefer to have a someone who shares the most intimate part of your life.

It goes without saying that there are many men who will actually fit the mold for what you are looking for and absolutely be the worst possible match you could make. So it goes. Keep moving. Life is a short ride, albeit, bumpy, with potholes, and slick spots, but it is the ride that makes everything worth it.

I like using the road analogy to relate to life. It's simple, but makes so much sense. Every time you get into your car and drive away from your home, you enter onto a road filled with the same and very different people and suddenly everyone is on the same playing ground. Sometimes you have a choice in the direction you want to drive. Sometimes, it is the only way to get to where you are aiming to go. But along the way are many other routes. Exit ramps to deter you from the route you planned on. And once you decide to exit a route, there awaits twenty other roads that also look compelling for you to accomplish what it is you were setting out to do in the first place. Or compelling enough to forget about whatever it was you were setting out to accomplish and accomplish something different instead.

Whatever road we end up taking, it is for a reason. What is it? you may ask. Ah, but only we can determine that. Or resolve not to determine it and just let it happen. That is the difference between getting somewhere you want to go and letting the road lead you to where you should be.

Hopefully, somewhere you find along the way someone who is also going in the same direction.
