Dating

I find the topic of dating very interesting.  I wish that there was a class on campus dedicated just to dating.  I am grateful for the time that we have had to discuss dating and it's very many aspects.  We have found that there are many dynamics when it comes to dating, and a great deal of characteristics that are found in a successful relationships.  The many events that lead up to someone dating and getting married is unique to each relationship, but there are some similarities.  What I find frustrating is that when it comes to dating, and the game of dating, it is different with each person.  Dating would be so much easier if we all followed the same "rules."  The language of love is different with each person, and with that, creates confusion and frustration when an individual is pursuing someone else. What is it about dating that is so great and so terrible at the same time?  It can sometimes be bittersweet.  We date in hopes of finding that special someone, knowing very well that it might end in heartache, but we do it anyway.  What motivates you to potentially chase disappointment?
