We all search for the illusive butterfly of happiness. We know our soul mate awaits us if we only knew where they were hiding.
We all have unrealistic expectations when it comes to life, yet especially when it comes to love. Why are pets so popular around the world. Animals give humans the need to care for something that loves them back unconditionally. Isn't that what we are all searching for? Unconditional love?
We meet someone and they put their best foot forward. How long they can stand on that one foot, varies with each individual. Sooner or later, life takes a toll and everyone reacts to life's disappointments. They say you can really get to know someone if you take a trip with them and they lose your luggage at the airport. How does this person respond to a crisis?

Some people always look at the brighter side of life and others live in dark clouds. Dating allows each one of us to see someone in another light, usually not a realistic light though. Out to dinner, to a movie, a walk around the park, how wonderful is that? Not much to worry about and not too many decisions to be made. No real proof of how this individual will spend their money, share their money or save their money. Give their love to someone or be selfish and look only for their own needs to be met. Provide a shoulder to cry on in times of heartache or mostly just thing life is one big game. Frivolously going through the motions and not emotionally becoming affected by any of it.
Dating allows teenagers, young adults and older adults to experience a perfect scenario, one they conjure up in their minds. Everyone looks their best, and smiles throughout the date. Laughs are heard and everyone is so entertaining. A genuine concern comes across to the other person. All of this is a mirage as the person is merely seeking self approval and love. People want others to like them. People want others to enjoy their company. People want other people to share their lives with them.
What is sacrificed for a moment of companionship. Bad habits, bad language, bad manners? All these characteristics can be placed on hold while anyone heads out for a date.
While people judge others by their first appearance, this does not give you a true idea of what this person is like behind closed doors.
Dating gives everyone the impression they are going to find "Mr. or Mrs. Right" and they can easily overlook many red flags the other person demonstrates in order to be in someone
