The Dating Pool

Dating, a cesspool of calamity designed to determine what you really want in a relationship. However, if you find yourself to be one of those lucky ones, these experiences will determine for you who’s worthy of your time and commitment. It’s all about your mating call.  Who you are, is typically who will attract. What you accept in a relationship is where the margin begins. Better to create the boundary sooner than later if you want the expectation to be clear.

Through this grueling process of elimination, you are bound to encounter a multitude of personalities.

Text Offender: Lacks social confidence but is extremely creative. He or she has the ability to draw you in while creating an expectation that they themselves cannot fulfill.  Typically fantasty driven and deceptive. You’ll find them cowering behind a persona on any random social networking site or any form of digital communication.

Social Thespian: Avoid at second sight because you may not catch their intensions upon introduction. Usually, you’ll find a male in this role. Lifestyle and career achievements are totally exaggerated but is generally a harmless guy because the lie falls apart rather quickly. Therefore typical pursues are women who fall short of esteem and are a bit naïve. A woman in this role can conjure havoc on a man’s emotions because she herself is emotionally unavailable. She allures her male’s interest by creating a false sense of dependency, AKA the "damsel in distress". The relationship suffers in the long run because it was never based on any real substance; Selfish to her own need to nurture her pending deep routed issues, whatever they may be. This is an opportunistic relationship and will end with only one survivor.

Bedroom Bully: A secret fan of woman but can come in the form of either gender. Sexually dominant, confident, and exudes a physical prowess that’s both alluring to the curiosity and even perhaps intimidating. Only good for one thing.

Holier than Who?!: This is the ultimate contradiction. This person says they have a connection with God but suffers from a disconnect with faith, AKA the “Praying Atheist”.  While not adhering to the code of their beliefs, will contend with all they perceive as imperfect in your life. Truth be told, this person is just a pain in the ass.

Community Service: This person is a “hoe” lot of fun. Promiscuous, dishonest, and sexually wreckless.  Typically great lovers but a high risk roller.

Conviction Addiction: Run! Run! Run! Nothing wrong with a thug in your life but having a Bible sized wrapsheet should set off some alarms (no pun intended). Good protector, poor provider, and has a temperament that will tick tick boom! Usually filled with excuses regarding their under achievements.

Horny by Nature: If you’re not a sex-crazed adolescent or getting a second wind at your sexual peak, this may not be for you. Living by the creed, “Your Place or Mine”. Being spontaneous and uninhibited goes a long way with this person and when two of its kind get together, the results are explosive. Even if you’re no longer with this person, they are never forgotten.

The Crutch: A total emotional dependency. This person lacks the courage to move forward and out of a bad relationship. Requiring uninterrupted companionship for self-validation, this serial dater never gives themself the opportunity to understand there’s a profound difference between being lonely and being alone. Very clingy and falls head over heals rather quickly.

If I Only Knew: The ideal package. This is the person that everyone wants to be with or strives to be but lacks the propensity to achieve. Family oriented and beautiful to the core. A fruit couldn’t be more ripe for the picking and here you come to screw it up. Not only for yourself but your corruptive behavior can be infectious, ruining future prospects for the Heaven sent. Typically, this person possesses a good will for forgiveness and this keeps them on a path to success in their love life.
