heh you're probably right about that one Sage.
I still have this idea in my head that people who have been through too many relationships tend to develop unrealistic expectations on what a relationship should be. Or haven't developed an idea on what their role is in a relationship. Perhaps the relationships aren't working out as they hoped because they are unwilling to make compromises? Although this compromise is inevitably part of life I think. Will they ever be truly happy with anyone?
Many people manage to date around so much yet they learn very little in the process. One could argue that you never really know everything about a person until you get as close to them as to be dating, but I don't think that's totally true. People date without a concept of what the future holds for the relationship. Although you could say that in those stages of a relationship, you would be looking for more information than was necessary.
Sorry if this is so rambling and vague. Perhaps i'm just soured by the ignorance of youth. I've seen so many people have SO's over the years and their time together seemed meaningless. Meaningless by my idea of what relationships should be anyways. And based off what the highschool/grade 7-8 definition of dating was, back when I was that old.
