Did you know there’s a 20-year limit on relationships? Have you noticed that high school sweethearts usually break up when they hit that 20-year mark? Or that sometimes people who marry late in life find everlasting love? That’s because of love’s expiration date on relationships. So, you have to decide if you want to be with someone in your twenties until they hit their mid-life crisis, or would you rather bask in their golden years. It’s rare nowadays, to find couples whose relationships transcend a lifetime.

Relationships in our early years are fraught with Dateface. It’s not until our forties that we’re comfortable with pulling off the Dateface, which can lead to pain and strife for any relationship.

Does Reciprocal True Love Exist Today? Is Love a Myth?

Nowadays, reciprocal true love doesn’t exist. Every relationship is off balance in one way or another. One of the parties involved has more feelings for the other party. It’s never equal. So, true love can’t exist. True love is eternal; true love survives all things, is still there after the bad parts. True love is that “ride or die” love; true love exists in spite of, and even when we don’t want it to. The normal dynamics of a relationship can vary, from both people being in love until one “falls out” of love first; which isn’t really love in the first place. You can’t fall out of love. You either love somebody or you don’t. Plain and simple. Sometimes in a relationship, one person is “in love” and the other person is “in lust,” which leads to hurt because the parties are in different places emotionally.

Even if two people start out really digging each other, eventually the pendulum of power swings to the person who is less involved emotionally. In line with survival of the fittest, the dominant person drives the relationships. Dominant does not necessarily mean physically stronger; dominance can take the form of psychological prowess.

Can You Have a Romantic Relationship Without Dateface?

How do you know the person you are dating or engaged to is showing you their true colors? Sometimes, I wonder if pretending to be something you’re not is a normal part of relationships. But the question is, can a person hide behind the mask forever? At some point, doesn’t the mask crack, revealing unattractive or disagreeable traits? How many times have women “let themselves go” after getting comfortable in a long term relationship, only to be dismayed when the guy kicks them to the curb, citing the old bait-and-switch? How many times has a woman ended up in a domestic abuse shelter or worse DEAD because the man she thought loved and cherished her let down his DATEFACE to show his true HATEFACE?

Do we really want people to be themselves? If so, why do we go out of our way to make slammin’ first impressions and then crack under the pressure to keep the façade up? Guys, do you really think your girl walked around all day in full makeup and hair, micro minis, and stripper heels before she met you? No! It was a ploy to get you hooked. But you should already know that. Isn’t love a game? So, don’t get mad when she let’s her hair down and rocks the Tims or the Nikes and a comfortable pair of jeans.

Keeping up pretenses can put strain on a relationship. But, what can we do? The only thing to get that special person’s attention in the first place is to be on your best behavior and look your best. So, I ask you, how can you tell when you are dating a person if they are true to themselves or just putting on airs?

The start of a new relationship is usually euphoric and full of optimism. You’ve met the man or woman of your dreams; they appear flawless. You cross your fingers. Have you found your soul mate? Rose-colored bliss can last many months before the Dateface rears its ugly head. My mother, wise and witty, can break down the Game of Life in intriguing, interesting ways. About six years ago, she introduced me to the concept of Dateface. At some point, everybody has to deal with Dateface in their relationships. We can’t change people; however, there are signs to warn us that the person we’re crazy in love with has crazy quirks that we just can’t stand? Some issues can be worked out with a little conversation and quality time; others, cannot and it’s best for all parties to just walk away, instead of staying in unfulfilling relationships. What does a newlywed do when she wakes up to a stranger? How did she get there?
