Dating. Relationships. Love.

What is dating?

Many people my age don't even known what dating is.The definition of dating has dramatically changed over the years. Now-a-days guys don't even bother to ask a girl out on a date. Things like dinner and movie, walking in the park and picnics on the beach no longer exist.Guys today just want to SMASH with NO CUFFIN'. What makes the situation wrong is -- the ladies accept it. We are all guilty of it. I say WE because every women is guilty of it once in their life. "Aye, Shawty can I have yo number?" or "Hey, Lil'Mama" is not the way to approach a lady. As young women we should not entertain this foolishness but we see money and material things before we realize what is actually being said to us. WE ACCEPT FOOLISHNESS. This is unacceptable... THERE NEEDS TO BE A CHANGE.

What's so hard about stepping to me and asking me my name? What's so hard about getting to know me and who I really am? What's so hard about learning the little things about me? Can you even tell me what my favorite color is without me even telling you? What do you really know about me? What do we know about each other? Being in a relationship is hard these days, but starting a relationship is even harder.

What happened to the traditionally way of dating? Guy picks girl up and takes girl out. At dinner guy pulls out ladies chair for her , open ALL doors and treats her like a lady. What happened to all that? I thought the older you get the easier this dating game gets. But I was wrong. I have experienced the puppy love. Late nights on the phone "You hang up first" , "No, you hang up first", "Let's both hang up at the same time". Or the I love You's and I love you more's. I have the experienced the ruff love. The love when you don't know your worth and will put up with anything just to have him around. But I haven't experienced the RIGHT love. The love that is worth fighting for during the trying times. The love that keeps you on your toes. The love that makes your heart melt. The love that you will die for. Will I ever experience that?

All I want is a nice guy, who is decent looking, and is successful in life to approach me in a respectful manner. Something like "Excuse Miss, My name is ..." and spark the most interesting conversation that I have ever had with another human being. IS THAT TO MUCH TO ASK? If that could happen, I would give him my number and ask him to call me later.

I don't want a guy who's M-O is just to SMASH and move to the next. I don't want to be nobodies BOO THING or FRIEND, there's no benefit in that. I want to be his leading lady. His one and only lady.

IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?
