dating diatribe.

ok... i can't hold it in any longer. people need to grow up before they start dating. they need to get some self confidence. and some patience. people are messing up! everywhere i look! and i just want to shake them, shake them all and tell them to go to their rooms and think about what they're doing. here are the new restrictions on dating. for the love people!

if you are constantly looking for someone better to date, looking to trade up... you should NOT be in a relationship.

if you see yourself as constantly being wronged by the opposite sex... you should NOT be in a relationship.

if you're attracted to a person's independence but are upset when that person doesn't need you... you should NOT be in a relationship.

if you are freakishly preoccupied with how much a person likes you, rather than how much you like them... you should NOT be in a relationship.

if you aren't happy... you should NOT be in a relationship.

if you have a history of cheating on the people you date... you should NOT be in a relationship.

if you really, really want to be dating someone, anyone... you should NOT be in a relationship.

if you get insanely jealous when a good friend is dating someone... you should NOT be in a relationship.

if you only like a person when other people like them... you should NOT be in a relationship.

there. i've said it. and i refuse to take it back.
you know, not dating can be a really good thing.
all these newly single people might be wondering what they should do. i suggest listening to books on tape.
