The gambler, Kenny Rogers once said, you gotta know when to hold’em, know when to fold’em, know when to walk away, know when to run.
He went on to say a number of other insightful things but we’ll save that for another day, but it begs the question, how does one truly know. The Single Guy has dated a number of girls over the last little while, no, he is not a manwhore, but he also hasn’t found that connection. That begs the question, really, what is a connection, and how does one really know.
Don’t get me wrong, he’s met some great women, and he’s also met some psychos, trust me, and they have been well documented here, have they not?
But as the gambler once said, how do you know when to fold’em, or when to walk away, we all know how to run.
Are we really being too picky? Are we looking for that perfect match? Granted men are not perfect (Flag on the play, yes, ladies, we can admit that), but are we waiting for something were never going to find? And as a result of that are we leading women down a path that is only going to enrage them down the road.
Take for example this case. Last fall, The Single Guy started dating this girl. She was fun; they had a great time together, going on adventures, going out to dinner, playing sports. She was a lot of fun; however, there just wasn’t that connection. He knew after about 3 months (woah, 3 months, yes, I know). But yet, he waited another 3 months before he cut the cord.
Why, you might ask?
Well, he wanted to make sure it wasn’t just him (although he’s beginning to think that). Did he really give her a chance? And if it didn’t work out, why didn’t it work out? Wow, don’t I sound like a big old girl right now.
I guess in a long rambling way, I’m trying to figure out is it better to cut the cord early, or give the girl a shot. I’m torn, and ladies, this is where I need your help. Perhaps we really need to delve into this issue deeper.
As always, I welcome your thoughts….
Happy Monday!
