It’s quite obvious, since it IS Women’s Day this post is all about women! But if you’re a man and you’re going to stop reading, I suggest, don’t! You’re going to get some healthy or not so healthy insights into a woman’s life and this could help you be a better man (READ: more appealing to the women / easily dateable!)
Women love to go out on dates! They love to be looked in the eye while talking! They love the randomness of conversation! The excitement of adventure! The thrill of being wooed! But most of all, women ‘love’ to not reveal this side of them! It’s true. Very true. “What will my friends say?” “What will the guy think of me?” “What if I won’t be able to say anything?” “What if I say something weird?” “What if he doesn’t like how I look?” Just some of the questions I’ve been asked since I started DateonDate.
Women across the world are debating over the need for such a day, shouldn’t it be celebrated everyday? they ask. I agree! It has to be celebrated everyday, but it won’t be… Not until every woman thinks it’s okay to get out of her boundaries and explore her options! Not until every woman disregards social stigmas and does as she pleases. Not until every woman considers everyday as women’s day.
A recent exchange with a ‘candy-date’ made me realize that we really need this day. After several male registrations, I get my first female entry. All at DateonDate appreciate her bravery and admire her spirit to go out there and meet somebody she’s never met before. I was happy. I was told that women will not take me seriously; this registration was a slap in their face. I knew women wanted to have fun, I knew they wanted to date, but just didn’t have the right sources or didn’t trust the service! So with all my excitement I call her up and fix up a date with one of my closest pals! He’s sweet, he’s a gentleman, he’s cute (not in a jugal hansraj way, but in a govinda sorta way), he’s a musician, the works! But most of all, he’s a talker and knows how to start a conversation… any conversation! Sadly, while she may have braved the waters to come forward and register, she didn’t think it fit to date him. The whole point was to meet someone new, to get insights into a life you might never have thought off. “Not comfortable!” “I’m simple! His likes don’t match mine!” “We won’t have anything to say” “I’m not good enough for him” were some of the answers (I wouldn’t call them excuses).
Hmmmmpphh… Here I thought I had won a battle, but sadly, I hadn’t. The same woman’s celebrating the spirit of womanhood today, the freedom, and the independence (her facebook status is a blaring example!). She needs a women’s day! She needs a day to be free! She can’t be it everyday and she’s not alone… most of us are like her.
Coming back to what I know is the spirit of being free, having fun and most importantly, giving yourself ‘most required’ bhaav - DateonDate - a service that enables you to find yourself, while making friends with others! Don’t be afraid to Date, it’s only a beginning to something you won’t know, unless you find out!
Happy Dating!
