Games

I love games, not the ones that hurt your brain, but the ones you get to know people better through participation in, the ones that make you laugh, the ones that make you feel just a little lighter in your heart.

Have you ever tried to play a game without knowing any of the rules?
Picture someone just randomly throwing out Settlers of Catan. Would you ever figure out how to play?

I feel a little like that when it comes to dating. What is this game? What are the rules? How long does it take? How do you win? Can you win? Who am I?!?!?!

Just when I think I've figured out the rules and I may actually be able to win, someone changes the game on me--rips away "Settlers" and hurls at me "Monopoly."

Unfortunately, Larissa, there ARE no rules, no official ones, at least. And just when you think you have found an adaquete instruction manual, a new player enters the scene and ya gotta start all over. Nope, no rules.
