Ready For Love?

 We live in a dream world.  A dating dream world.  People have absolutely no idea what they want much less who they want.  Frankly, they just don't know themselves.

I admit to finding Patty, the matchmaker extraordinaire, on Millionaire Matchmaker a bit Judge Judy. She is blunt and plays for the camera.  I sure hope she isn't that abrasive in public. Patty is said to be a third generation matchmaker.  She apprenticed which is rare in many professions today.  She is also spot on when she accesses potential mates.  I think she is a bit harder on the men, though. She wants them to 'man up.'

My limited dating experience has taught me one thing.  People date when they are not ready for a mate.  They play date.  Go through the motions.  Then disappear.  They disappear mostly because they don't want to commit.  They got their warm and fuzzies and they move on to their next victim.  These types of people always find a victim.  Until the victims grow up and want more.

Everyone wants love.  But not everyone is ready.  Are you?
