This weekend during a trip to Gattitown with my godbrothers, I came across the most poignant metaphor for relationships that I have ever come up with to date. Intrigued? Here goes:
Relationships are like the game that has all the prizes in a glass box and the player has to pick a toy using a crane to bring the toy to the drop chute.
As it stands, the dating pool to a man is filled with women they want to date in a sea of other women.
Some men actually come over to approach you (some just don't know how to work the crane or get distracted by another toy on their way over).
Then they drop the crane and pick you up- i.e. asking for your phone number.
After that, a few things can happen.
For instance somehow the man drops you after a few seconds as it moves because all of a sudden with the extra weight it starts to swing. It's like the load was too much to handle or greater than they expected.
Another option is that the man actually holds on longer but just before the toy gets to the chute, it still drops you. This is like being in a committed relationship that just ends before you really expected it to.
And finally some men are able to hold on to their prize and make it all the way to the chute and they are happy when they get to retrieve it from behind the glass. This is the equivalent of marriage.
And the smile on a little kid or even groom's face when he gets to behold his toy he worked hard to navigate through daunting challenges is priceless.
Happy Dating!
