The games we play in life change as we get older. We start off with Peek-a-boo, then to Candyland, and then Grand Theft Auto. The rules for some games are crystal clear, while for others, they seem to vary or simply do not exist at all. One thing is for sure though, the more you play any game, the better you will get at it. This is especially for one specific game that is played by just about every person, and that is the game of dating.

Like all games, dating is trickiest when you first begin, and there is certainly no manual to guide your way (though, they certainly seem to pretend to have manuals for it in the bookstore). This game comes with a lot of pressure from other players, known as friends.
Since there is no manual, Kiwi has answered some questions about the toughest spaces on the board game of dating that are a result of peer pressure.


Do you actually have to be in this game?

It may seem like everyone is dating because all your surrounding friends have boyfriends and girlfriends, but this doesn't mean you have to jump into the dating game. If you're feeling like you need to date so it will be easier hanging out with all your coupled up friends, you may want to rethink the scenario.

Take a look at your friends. Are they possibly dating because others are dating? Do they seem to be truly interested in the person that they are with? You don't want to waste your time dating a boy or girl just because you feel you need them to fill up some time and space. The reality is that you might date them for the wrong reasons, and end up passing up an opportunity to meet someone you may have genuinely liked.
