All these trends, "pocketing" and now "hardballing"...

There's actually a good dating trend out there and it's called 'hardballing' Relationship expert Susan Winter says that "hardballing" is a great way to put your needs first. It's true that most recent dating terms — like pocketing or ghosting —are cause for concern.

Never heard of it but seems like love is a lot harder to find these days then way back then.  Maybe people stop believing love exist.

Best way to date and the reporter needs to take notes from me is this...

Fail and fail miserably on the first few dates.  In this way, you can get all the bad stuff out in the open.  If she sticks around, she is the one for you as she will be there for you through thick and thin.  If you like me when I'm at my worse then imagine how much you will like me when I'm at my best.
