Dangerous Romantic - Laugh, Love, Live & Learn

Beware of the dangerous romantic. Sometimes being romantic can be dangerous because ladies fall in love with the illusion of love and the grandeur of romance that they feel when they are with you. The sense of adventure and the unexpected can be a bit of a drug and provide arousing feelings, which most women rarely experience on an ongoing basis.

That being said in my own life I have been inclined to live wholeheartedly no matter what I do, or whom I'm with. As it pertains to dating this has proven at times to be destructive as women are easily seduced and I easily mislead. It is easy to move hastily and prematurely into a relationship, without having taken a full and thorough inventory of the qualities of a person.

The emotions, endorphines, and hormonal rush that collectively come into play during dating can be quite deceiving and convincingly persuade many that this is how life will always be with a person. In a long-term relationship however, such is not the case.

Soap operas never show laundry being washed, dishes be cleaned, and bathrooms being scrubbed. This is for a deliberate reason. Soap operas want you to experience the thrill of romance, not the reality of daily life.

Dating is no different, which is precisely the reason why one must take adequate precaution when deciding whom to commit to within a long-term relationship. Because real life is less romantic and far more practical. On the long-term someone who is practical, committed, has a good business mind, communicates well, and attends to daily details would be far better than a passionate lover who cannot be counted upon.

That being said we must be more purposeful and deliberate when evaluating a person before committing to the relationally. Just because someone is hot and makes your motor run, doesn't mean they are suitable to be your spouse. Uncontrollable emotions eventually will cool down and you will sober up once you are in a daily life pattern and long-term relationship again.

Therefore learn from me and don't be the dangerous romantic that captivates and captures women on the illusion of love and how they feel when they are with you. The important question is how do you feel when you are with them dealing with daily life details and romance isn't in the picture?

Are they a fair weather friend just suitable for passionate romance or are they a keeper and able to endure the challenges of life?
