Do you ever get tired of the process of dating? Do you ever feel like you’re just going through the motions and that the longer you go without being married, the more likely you are to end up being married just because instead of for love? If this is you, imagine living in a world where the dating responsibility is taken from you and placed with someone else. Imagine if your parents or a collective of individuals who’ve watched you grow up chose who you should date instead. Radical idea, I know but, here me out!
How many times have you heard from family and friends that you just don’t know how to pick em’? Countless times, I’m sure. In all honesty, most of us are terrible decision makers. From the people we date to the places we choose to have lunch at, our ability to choose for ourselves is severely lacking. It’s not like we help ourselves by seeking counsel from other members of our inner circle before we make certain decisions in our lives like dating. What could be so wrong about allowing those who know you best to provide you your dating prospects?
To be clear, this isn’t so much of an arranged marriage as it is an arranged dating experience. Think of it more like the old MTV show Parental Control where parents who were fed up with their child’s significant other decided to interview a number of people who they thought would be better dating choices for their child. The idea isn’t to force you to marry this person. It’s just an additional way to potentially find your happily ever after.
None of this is to say this idea will cure all of your dating ills. Not every group of friends pays as much attention to each others dating patterns as they probably should so inevitably, there will still be bad dates. That said, what you’ve been doing so far hasn’t been working so why not spice things up and try something so crazy that it just might work?
