Dating Advice: Act Your Age, Not Your Shoe Size

Love does funny things to a person, don't you agree? It's important, though, to try and keep your feet on the ground when you think you've met somebody important or special. Lot's of times, in the dating game, and many other places, people seem to forget that its important to stay grounded and not to lose your integrity. "How old are you?" is a question I'm often asked by some of the girls I've dated. The truth is, how old I am doesn't really matter in the big scheme of things. "Your only as old as you feel," is something that is said a lot, and I think that this is pretty much true.

Really, though, a question about age isn't a nice question to ask, because its often very indiscreet, it generally shows that you're not really paying attention to what's being said. But if you want to ask, go ahead, I suppose. Sometimes you might get the truth, or sometimes you might get a funny, creative answer, who knows?

So love can change us. It makes us act younger or even older than we are, and its important sometimes to remember where you stand. A strong relationship must be built on a strong foundation, and to do that, it's good to keep a strong sense of self-identity that the other person can believe in. Are you a kid anymore? Probably not, nobody can stay young forever. Do you know more than the next person? There's a chance, who knows?

It's kind of silly the way we, as a society, seem to refuse to grow up. Some people maybe feel kind of short changed when they grow up, and they yearn to still have a good time, but they often end up sad. It's too bad that this happens, but it seems like there are things we can do to change it. If you really want to do something well, just try acting like the person you are, instead of something else. It's a compliment to the listener, and will bring you a lot closer to finally gaining the traction in life that you have been looking for. Act your age, but don't lose your interest in the things that are important. A balance of pragmatism is essential to anything that works well, especially in the dating game.
