Bob comments on Jen's What is up with the big hunt and chase, post

Bob comments!

Jen

I feel your pain. The answer to your question is no, games are not worth letting someone good pass you by. However the question is not addressing the bigger picture. Does the hunter value the pray as a toy or dinner.

Sorry to say but this is not just a man thing dear. I have done it and been the recipient of it. The hunt is fun. It is also fun to play. I think any hunter when ready to eat, will eat. The game of dating can be fun. It is exciting to discover new people. For some people it is fun to see how far you can get with someone, even if you have no long-term plans. I think when even a player decides that he/she has found what they are truly looking for they will shut a good bit of the games down or at least make you think they have.

If someone is still playing cat and mouse to quote the movie “he just is not that into you”.

I myself am crazy picky and a lot of that is because I think, “Do I want this person part of my child’s life”. Still it is fun to play and I try and find that balance to not hurt someone in the process. I have been called to cautious and to protective. Fact was I did not think they, would be an appropriate role model for my children. Other times they hung around and out of sure boredom, I continued to play.

If you have taken that leap and they are still at the top of the cliff, good chance they just do not want to jump with you. It sucks and it hurts. They may like you enough to keep you in their life but a good chance you are looking for another hard fall when they find what they want to eat or you are headed to the friend zone. You have to decided what it is worth to you.

Is your life complementary to his way?

Isaiah 5:28

I decided, instead of commenting on what someone else said on the web, that I would use my Sunday blog to help better my own Bible study.  This may also give my readers a little refresher course or words of inspiration.  Today, I opened the Bible and Dave picked the verse. So today we will take a look at Isaiah 5. 

In the most basic summation it is about the consequences of Judah’s worship of other gods.

The people of Judah think they are safe and can do what they will, because of their covenant with God. God tells Isaiah, to let his people know that the covenant only works if they have followed Gods way. When they commited idolatry (the worship of other gods) and where unjust and cruel they broke the covenant. By doing this they lost God’s Favor.

I see it this way. God gives you the ability to live a life that, through him allows you to accomplish your goals and dreams. If you do not live a life that is complementary to his way, then your life is no longer directed by his goodness. This opens you up for all types of unholy spirits and circumstances to come into your life. You may prosper for a certain amount of time but ultimately you will have to answer for not living your life in the spirit of God.

Tim Burtons ~ Alice in Wonderland ~ Little Space Monkey Reviews

"Tim Burtons ~ Alice in Wonderland sacrifices the books minimal narrative coherence -- and much of its heart -- but it's an undeniable visual treat.  The visual splendor is more than enough to feast your eyes on, so it's too bad that the dialogue in the film couldn't live up to its look. It reminds me most of Sleepy Hollow: empty, faux-atmospheric, and without soul. Tim Burton's latest assault on the senses is partially redeemed by Johnny Depp's brilliant acting."  Check them out at Rottentomatoes.com

Above is what I would say if I was movie critic reviewing a kids movie and taking my job way to seriously. Really?? Now for some real reviews from the intended audience:

My 9 year old Sara Ashley says when ask if she liked the movie: : “Ummhum it is Awesome!”

David my newly turned 7 year old says: “It was awesomely amazing and spectacular:

Owen age 5 and  Jen’s boy said: “Avatar is my most favorite move but this is my second most favorite.”

I can not hope to do a better review than that for this movie. Cause I am not a pretentious prick who over analyzes what I can not do. I will say the IMAX is great but not necessary if you want to save a few bucks. It is a dark movie, as most Tim Burton movies are but feel very comfortable taking your children.  We think it is very kid friendly and a treat for the adults who go with them.

WHAT IS UP WITH THE BIG HUNT AND CHASE?

After being out of the dating scene for so long, I realize that there is so much that I do not understand.  I feel like a fish out of water, yet I keep trying to swim. 

I just don't get the whole game.  Why do people feel the need to play games when dating? Is it really that fun?  

In my opinion I feel that we should be able to say who we are and if someone doesn't like you for who you are, ALL OF YOU, then I say don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out! 

Seriously, we can all try to put on some act to try to be what we THINK the other person is looking for etc.. But, really how long can you keep it up? And how friggin' exhausting, I don't have the time or the desire for that kind of game. 

I get the whole men want to hunt crap, really.  But c'mon already, isn't the goal for you to find what you are hunting for?  If a woman feels the same way why in the hell can't she just say so? Why do we have to play all coy and continue to let you chase us??  Isn't the fun part liking one another and exploring the possibility of where things can go?  Or, even just having fun while it lasts and not waste all this time unnecessarily playing cat and mouse. 

I like a challenge much like anyone else but becomes daunting after awhile.  If you don't get what you want then chances are that you are gonna move on to something else. If you are playing games with someone whether it is a man or woman and they don't get it or want to play then they will find someone that does want to play. 

I know I am only 36 yrs old, but I have been through some pretty crazy stuff in my life and it keeps on a coming.  I am just as scared as the next person to get hurt etc..  But as scary as that is I feel that I owe it to myself to take a chance. 

How will you ever know how great something can be without taking that leap???  I have fallen before and I am quite sure I will fall again but that is just the chance that I am willing to take.  I hope that you guys do the same!!!  =)

I guess what I am asking you all: Is the game playing worth letting someone good pass you by?
