The Mine Field

When you are navigating through the Mine Field that is today's dating world, you have to keep in mind the fact that all it takes is one wrong step and it is going to blow up in your face. All men and women have issues. When you become single at my age, issues are part of the landscape. All of the women I have been out with have issues but when the issues start to stack like arrests on a rap sheet, then it is time to move on. Daddy issues? Trust issues? Control freak issues? Drug and alcohol issues? Already blaming me for every damn thing issues? You name it, I have probably encountered them all. It is what you are willing to accept as an issue that is the key. No one is perfect. I know it is going to come as a shock to those that know me, but not even I am perfect. I have been afflicted with the most serious of the man issues, and that is commitment issues. Commitment can be a good thing, a healthy thing, but if I am not feeling it, then it is not going to happen. I should be committed. Maybe a little bit of time in a mental health care facility would help give me some perspective on what issues really are.
