Dating : Just a reminder that sometimes what you want most isnt good for you.

Dating : Just a reminder that sometimes what you want most isnt good for you.

If you date to have fun, this might not apply, but if you date to find a permanent partner, remember that what you like about somebody could be unhealthy for you or for them.

I just got done talking to this girl I know from college. Shes really sweet, loves the music I like, loves me, loves Jesus, all these great things. But as we started to talk more and more, I noticed that she has the tendency to let people walk all over her. This bothered me, cause I have a tendency to walk all over people.

There was a vacation/work trip to Atlanta that a bunch of us alumni went on, maybe ten of us, and she was there. We went to a rock show (S/O to Mayday Parade and Sad Summer Fest) and dinner a couple nights, but I kept things guarded cause I was still trying the water.

This girl is a great person, and she cares about me, and shes still a great friend, but by the end of the week I had to cut things off before they got too serious, and i took her out to waffle house and told her that even though we both were dreamy-eyed for each other, we had to be careful. And I was down to earth and told her what would happen. We’d have a lot of fun for 4 or 5 years and then one of us would get resentful and I would take and take and take and then one day I’d wake up and the car would be gone and I’d be single man.

It took a lot out of me to be honest with myself and with her about that but I think I made the right choice to reel it in and cut ties. So…

Tl;dr: dont ever let feelings or emotions cloud your judgement regarding what’s best for you and for someone you’re into, even if they’re everything you wanted when you were young.
