10 Extremely Damaging Dating Mistakes? Part 3

It’s the shitty Hollywood script we’ve all been sold — love at first sight, the instant “ chemistry spark.” I kind of see it like clicking ‘I Agree’ on the Terms & Conditions without actually reading cause you just want to buy or play the product. It’s fast and exciting, but five months later, you’re locked into an emotionally unstable contract that drains your battery, sells your data, and updates every 28 days with a completely new personality.

Trust me; it can be that bad. Any man with half an ounce of wisdom knows that you never rush into battle nor into love; he studies the terrain, counts the costs, and only then marches forward.

A man who masters himself is a man no one can master.

Instant chemistry is not real life; I promise you this. I like a good romantic comedy like the next person, but I take it for what it is, and so should you, a nice little fantasy.

HOLLYWOOD IS MAKING MONEY OFF OF SENTIMENT AND WHIMSY.
