Side note: From time to time, if one of my Facebook post receives a few "likes" and comments. I will try to take the time to expand on that quote a bit further. Try to give a quick back-story as to what lead me to say the things I say.
Why do we always succumb ourselves to this sort of torture. We meet someone, either in person or through one of the million of online dating websites. We meet up, do the small talk, have a few drinks, quip about how we have something in common (most of the time At this point I am usually faking this. I mean come on, does it look like I watch Grey's Anatomy. Do I care really care that you have magically powers and can somehow communicate with the animals...No!).
As the "guy", we try to assert that we have that "funny personality" you are looking for (because everyone knows women love comedians...*sarcasm*), we can be your protectors, we are financially sound and not some closeted momma's boy. Now as the "woman" you force yourself to laugh through our endless parades of corny jokes, hope he shares your love for everything cats (seriously this kind teeters on borderline creepy crazy), giving off an aura of being a nurturer, and hoping that the man across from you is not some creepy stalker.

Dating can be described as many things: a delicate tango, a difficult game of chess, a roller-coaster, a boxing match or like interviewing for a job with no chance of advancement or promotion. Whichever analogy you decide to choose, it boils down to this. The whole dating process and having a relationship is never an easy ride. We must all go through it, until we end up with that one person who seems not to want to go away or can tolerate us for more than an hour.
It's this long drawn out process that I find frustrating. There are so many things that go on during a date that must be taken into account. Since I cannot speak for what goes on in a woman's mind, I'll give you my perspective of a normal date. I think as most guys will say trying to read a woman's mind is like trying to find the holy grail--many have perished along the way trying to unravel their secrets. Most of these dates are like trying to figure long complex calculus problems. If she touches her hair a certain way does that mean she likes you or has a nervous tick. When she laughs at your mediocre jokes she either likes you or is trying to disguise a fart. She offers to pay half for the meal...well that's just a sign she's not in to you---I would think that is an obvious sign.
And while all of this is happening, I am mostly thinking: Damn! This girl can eat and this is going to be an expensive meal. I wonder if there will be sex tonight? I wonder if there will be sex tomorrow night? I wonder if she's cool with sex? Stop staring at her boobs! Nod and pretend that you are versed in everything Twilight and girly medical dramas.
I do not know if I will ever be an expert in the ways of dating. I will gladly go through many trials and errors to make sure I get it down pact. And I say this because if I do not do it, no one will.
