Not picking on you, I have to say that I can't agree with the poker analogy in that, if everyone played by those rules, nobody would make the first move. Besides, my own feeling is that part of what is wrong with the current concepts in dating is the idea that it is some sort of game. If people could drop all the pretense and just be real with one another, we could all have a lot more fun.

But that is just my idea of how I would prefer to have it. I am sure that there are folks who truly enjoy the games.
