Online dating is a lot like
Pre-Season Football because it’s all about which rookie is going to make the
team. Your team.
You have your top draft choices going into the first round.
The ones that look the best, show intelligence and know all the plays. They are
the most promising and boy do they smell good.
Then there are the later draft pics.
They aren’t as sought after as the top choices but they can hold their own and
are worth taking a look at especially when the first round pics prove to be
disappointing.
Of course you have your free agents.
They’ve been let go from another team and they have the ability to sign with
anyone who will take them. But the
question always is…why were they let go? It couldn’t be because they’re the
best, something went wrong, yet we still give them the once over.
Some may ask, what about the
walk-ons? Well, that’s only in college football, but I will say from
experience, you will get calls from the young ones. It’s like trying not to
look at a train wreck, you just can’t help yourself. But after a few bouts with
them, you toss them back, it’s catch and release…they really need to grow a
little more.
Pre-season football is about the team
finding its identity, similar to the type of relationship one is looking for as
the meet ups begin. Will it be a hard hitting team, translating to an emotionally,
quick witted sparring relationship? Or will the team be methodical in its
approach on the field, translation – slow and careful, one step at a time
relationship. It can also be an “all or nothing team”-- hot and passionate
relationship or we’re out. One never
knows as we give each and every rookie their time on the field.
Now, for the locker room. Will it be
respectful and dignified, or is it anything goes with no boundaries. Whatever
the off-the-field looks like, and in relationships it’s what happens behind
closed doors, it sets the tone for what happens on the field as each game
brings us closer to the Super Bowl – a serious relationship.
So we go out, put our best foot
forward and we look for the serious players, the ones with heart for the game,
and the one who can go the distance Then we sign them, and watch how the season
progresses. We may have the winning combination, or we may not. But for all
those who just can’t seem to put that winning team together…there will always
be another season with new rookies and the hope that next season we will
finally get it right.
So, what do you do till that winning
player is in your sight? You stay focused on your goal, be passionate with your
encounters, and trust that the best is yet to come.
Game on!!
