Why do people date? Some believe it’s because every one of us is on a quest for Mr./Mrs. Right. I don’t necessarily agree. The “right” person could be there, you may just not be ready for them. Take this example: Lets say you had $ 50,000 to buy a car. You can either choose to go for the classy yet reserved kinda car lets say, a Volvo, or get yourself a sexy red convertible. You chose the convertible because although you know the Volvo is a safe bet, the convertible is risky and it provides you with the element of fun.
Dating is fun. It’s fun to feel the excitement before stepping into the shower, it’s fun to pick the outfit, it’s fun to wine and dine with someone new ( and cute), it’s fun to feel the butterflies in your stomach when your hands touch and it’s fun to hear yourself talk about yourself to someone new.
Dating stops being fun when a) you’re on a mission to find Mr. Right and b) when your hunting for sex.
Then it starts feeling too forced, people sense the urgency in your voice and smell the desperation in your actions.
Of course many of us date to find that special someone, all I’m saying is that shouldn’t be what drives us. I’m a firm believer in this cliche notion of love happening when you least expect it to.
I think I’m in Love.
Bisoux

Very nice post Ivy!
So weird cause most of us out there ARE either looking for a serious relationship OR sex!
The advice u gave was nice and true. When you get in there with the lowest expectations possible, you might actually end up with something sweet.
