Dating: The Interview
Dating: Isn’t it something like a trying to get a J-O-B. First you put in your application (The flirt), Waiting for a call back (The response), Going for the interview (The 1st date), Waiting to see if they are interested in you (The callback) and then if they do hire you, the probationary period could possibly last for 90 days, if not longer (Thanks Steve Harvey, thumbs down ~ Smile)!
But seriously, sometimes dating does feel like a job and until you find that special someone you most likely are willing to work overtime trying. If you’ve been out of the dating loop for a while, it might really seem like work to you. Technology has totally changed the dating game. People don’t talk on the phone any longer, they text or email. More people meet online nowadays rather than in person because people spend more time in front of their computers and on their phones than they used to. You must find out how to bypass a person’s personal representative before you are able to meet them face to face. Where else do you spend a lot of time on the computer and on the phone? I’ll tell you where. Wait for it…at work!
So should people take dating as serious as they would if they were trying to get a job or are they totally different from one another? The process to me seems very similar and to some people finding a mate is as essential as their financial stability. When it comes down to it, if you are ready to settle down, you most likely are very serious about your dating experiences. The proof is in the pudding: We put on our Sunday's best, we ensure we are well groomed and smelling nice. Ladies we get our hair and nails done. Guys you get fresh haircuts and maybe even some new kicks. Aren’t these the same rituals we perform before job interviews? I think you get my point…
Yet and still, there are some differences between dating and a job. For one, you’re not getting paid to date, well actually you might be but that’s a different topic coming to a blog near you lol. But instead, you are paying to date; especially if you are a man (chivalry isn’t dead). If you are serious about your money, of course you are very particular about how it’s spent, right? In addition to money you are also paying with your time and I'm sure you’ve heard that old cliché, “Time is precious and not to be wasted” so we should do our best to ensure every moment counts for something worthwhile.
So the general consensus is...(drum roll please!) Dating is like work! And no matter how we try to front or fake it, we take it very seriously and why shouldn’t we? If you are looking for that certain something that could possibly last a lifetime, it should be taken seriously. And after all of the time, money, grooming and etc. we spend on dating, I’ll tell you this much...The benefits better be BOMB!
Until next time, Tiffany Michellé
