Dating : Why I’ll now approach dating like fishing 🎣

“After going through some rough patches in my dating life I stopped to think about it all & this is the story I came up with.” -Daniel

Dating & fishing both require similar things in order to achieve your goals. You need the right spots, patience, hope & most importantly timing.

Two separate people on a Saturday decide to go fishing. A young man speeds out onto the lake with a large boat that has all of the latest in fishing technologies. Blindly following his equipment he slows over what appears to be a school of fish. Without hesitation he sets anchor & casts all ten of his lines.

One by one around his boat he picks up a pole, swishes it around, jerks it & moves onto the next. After only an hour, having several close calls he gets frustrated, gives up & heads for shore.

After packing up he hears a woman calling him. She was eating her catch of the day for lunch. She said to him, “I’ve been watching you waste your efforts on foolish attempts & it’s time someone helped you out.”

He replied, “I don’t have much experience fishing but I thought with all that I had I’d have a boatload of fish in no time.”

She replied, “Let me share some advice with you. You can’t always trust the information technology presents to you. Don’t let an anchor hold you down to one spot. You’ll have some trial & error but let the waves take you. Failure is what it takes to learn how to succeed. You can’t expect to catch something on your own time. Sometimes you’ll have to spend awhile waiting & have some patience before you get results. No matter how good your gear, equipment, or bait, you won’t always get a catch. All you can do is hope your efforts won’t go unacknowledged. Don’t pull up before you know you can hook it. You’ll either lose it or get lucky & get another shot. Not to mention you’ll probably lose your bait.

In the end there’s always plenty of fish in the sea but look at it this way. Maybe if you set your heart on catching just one at a time. Maybe if you give it your all. Even if you don’t catch it, you’ll sure have a good time trying.”
