Hidden evils.... of dating?
Yes, believe it or not. There ARE hidden evils of dating. I'm sure most of you are aware of that, especially if you have not been so successful in the "game" of dating we all love to hate.
I'm curious though, why is dating often referred to as a "game"? Why do so many people hate it but still continue to do it? Is dating really necessary? What do you think are some of the hidden evils of dating?
(Once I get some feedback on this, I will share my thoughts)

I can think of one... the not knowing the other person's intentions part.
i dont even get the point of dating. some say it is for one to learn about different people, but i say why cant you just learn about them from being there friend right? kinda stupid.
idk. i dont date. lol everybody calls me a werido but hey, its all good hahaha
People hate it but continue to do it because they perceive it as a necessary evil. People think that without dating they won't find the right person to marry; they won't get to know someone else well enough to determine if a person is marriage material; and they won't be able to grow as a person and themselves be marriage material. In theory, that's the point of dating.
The evils of dating? The games that either party plays. The fights and heartache. The costs of both time and money. The possibility of breaking up and losing a friend.
@Katseye4pirates@xanga - But are those really "hidden" evils? They seem to be pretty out in the open and well known evils to me.
it is referred to as a game because until really recently there were tons of rules which had to be followed to participate. many books from erasmus to the bible created a convoluted and lengthy list of rules which you could expect of everyone else to follow... during the 20th century we gave up on those rules.
why people behave ironically is beyond my comprehension for the most part. i bet it has something to do with politics.
is dating nesscesary? idk... without long term relationships to give people a sense of ground, allot would not be able function.
hidden evils? i'm not sure... i don't really get what 'evil' is... i'd guess 'lying', 'cheating', and other not ideal behavior.
what do you think?
@lenybobsyouruncle@xanga - I agree with you for the most part, but I think dating and a relationship are two different things.
@rageforlove - where does a relationship become dating?
(just curious... :) if it is where i think it is... all the guys on my HS football team were dating.... each other :O
@lenybobsyouruncle@xanga - I don't think a relationship ever becomes dating. To me, "dating" is when you go on dates with different people in order to find "the one." Once you see the same person on a regular basis because you find you are compatible with each other, then that is a relationship. Does that make sense? I am fighting a migraine so I am having trouble explaining anything...
