Relationship Advice Column: Volume 2, Edition 1 -The Relationship Food Chain

When I previously wrote regularly back in 2011, every Friday I would write a relationship advice blog.  Sometimes I would have people write in, others I would just go on some most likely confusing talk about a topic in relationships, so I thought I would bring the advice column out of retirement since today is Friday and all.  It baffles me how being attracted to someone works.  It always seems like whenever someone likes you, you could care less.  I mean you dig the attention and all but in reality you want nothing to do with them. This mostly is solved with a lot of ignoring.  On the other side you are always chasing after someone else.  You like someone but they are always ignoring you.  It seems like when looking for a mate, most people chasing after you are inferior and the people you are chasing after are superior.  It just baffles me.  Every single person who has ever dated is guilty of this.  When you ignore someone, they want you more.  When you give them attention, they pretty much want nothing to do with you.  It's just odd and I can't figure it out.  If any of you have the answer please let me know. I will call it, The Relationship Food Chain.

Why does game playing even exists?  Is it because human beings have the ability to lie.  Why do women play hard to get when all they want is to be with someone?  Why do men pretend to be into a girl when all they want is to well you all know what most men want?  Game playing makes no sense to me.  Someone is always hurt in the end.  I get that no one is ever themselves on the first date.  You are like the date version of you on steroids.  You dress the nicest on date 1.  You smell your best and you use your best jokes and never bring up your flaws.  I understand why.  It's almost like a job interview.  Everyone does it.  You may actually be yourself just like an exaggerated version.  I just wish it were easier.  I wish people were just themselves.  I want to see what you will be like on Date 12 or Date 279. As you get to know someone, little things start to show up that may annoy you.  Maybe someone licks their teeth, or taps their foot.  Stuff like that may start bothering you.  Every couple has this.  If you can fight through this and let the little things go, you're going to have a successful relationship.
