Love Columns-Rejection

The dating world nowadays isn’t that complicated. It really isn’t. The part where you find someone compatible (obviously the most important) can be difficult to attain. You will meet a ton of different personalities, and it will be a funny or even a disastrous experience. The hardest part is when either you or the other person is no longer interested and you have to cut em’ off. Rejection is tough. But it WILL happen. I myself am too nice of a person and most of the time I can’t really communicate to them that I’m not interested. I stop texting or calling as often, but sometimes people are pretty clueless. I have been rejected before, but I move on. That’s just how it is. So to avoid all of the heartbreaks during dating, here are a few suggestions to help you staying hopeful for love and not a brokenhearted pessimist.

 

1.       He/She is not the One…

If they don’t take the opportunity to reach out to you. Whether it be from a phone call, a text, or even an e-mail; how could you have a relationship if you’re doing all the work? If the other person slowly stops responding to your texts or phone calls, forget about it. Just keep doing your own thing. If that person is still interested that person will call you.

2.       The “I’m not looking for anything serious” Phrase

If a person says this, it is OBVIOUS that they’re dating not only you, but someone else too. Don’t put all your eggs into this basket, because you’ll end up getting heartbroken when you find out that the person chose someone else over you. My suggestion for you? Date someone else too. You never know if there’s someone better.

3.       Midnight phone calls

If you’re looking for a relationship, but the person you’re dating is only calling you after midnight, you know what you’re made for. It doesn’t matter if supposedly he/she works all day, and wants to see you only after midnight. Seriously, if all you do is “play”, then please don’t be so naïve and think that they may be serious material. I remember some idiots would text “Hey I’m not a lunch/dinner kind of guy, but I do like to drink late night”. What a damn insult. I know what my worth is homie, and you should know it too.

 

The best advice I can give to my single folks is to just let it be. If you really like this person, but they don’t like you, don’t fret. There are plenty of fish in the sea.

Paint in my Hair

Hey, it’s Erilou giving you a whole different perspective on “love”, “relationships”, and all that mush… First off, I’m not much of a writer myself so I’d like to keep this simple and short. I’ve been in a committed relationship for quite some time now and, like Daisy, I am no expert on this topic (trust me) but here’s my 2 cents on what I BELIEVE keeps “lovers” happy.

DO THINGS TOGETHER!
“It’s the simple things in life we forget”, we’re so caught up with this complicated thing called “life” sometimes we forget what genuine company feels like. This past week, I was able to put everything aside (work, school, friends, family, stress of life, etc.) and just enjoy the company of my significant other. Finding time to do things together I believe is important in any relationship to keep the bond as strong as it was in the beginning if not stronger.

First stop, Vegas. Yes, believe it or not, if you’re not searching for clubs, Vegas is do-a-ble for couples. There are other things to do in Sin City together like see a show. We had the chance to see Cirque Du Soleil Ka, which by the way was “legend… (wait for it)… dary”.  Vegas has an array of entertainment to choose from that both can take pleasure in seeing. There’s also the option to gamble. In one Black-Jack table, I witnessed a total of 3 couples who were all having a good time laughing and supporting each other over a game of cards.

Next stop, Tahoe. What more can I say? It’s snowboarding season (woohoo) and, in addition to that, there’s skiing or just good ol’ sledding. Neither does one need to acquire such skills for any of these activities; just as long as your out playing in the snow with each other it should be one hell-of-a time. For me, since the slopes were closed due to the weather (bummer) it was putting tire chains together in the snow that stood out to be the most amusing time on the trip.

Ya’ll don’t have to do much or go very far to do things together. Take a walk to the park, attempt to do P90X together, play co-op mode of Twisted Metal or battle online with others on Halo, go to your local coffee shop, watch a movie,ETCETERA, ETCETERA, ETCETERA. This is one way to keep happy in the relationship, just find time to get away from what can be a “messy” world.
