All of us like to think of ourselves as men and women of honor and integrity. Unfortunately, in a lot of dating situations integrity doesn’t always stick around when it should. There are so many games being played and a lot of people are simply out for themselves.
A male friend of mine said that single women he has met rarely use integrity in dating because they don’t really feel it is a requirement. While I can attest to less then stellar dating behaviors when I was immature, I feel like I display integrity to the men that I date now. To me, men are not opportunities, and relationships are not solutions to my life problems. Although integrity may not always be prevalent in dating, some of us manage to adhere to a certain set of dating code of ethics which minimizes dating drama.
Guys, I know you think that you’re cooler than Icey Hot sports cream, but you don’t always display the strongest code of ethics when you are single, dating, and/or looking. Ladies, you (ok we) may consider yourselves to be the cream of the crop but sometimes we drop the ball big time when it comes to integrity and honor. There would be a lot less headaches and hurt feelings if we all raised our integrity game up. Yea, I know shows like The Bachelor, Flavor of Love, or Cheaters would not be as entertaining, but is that really a bad thing?
There are also times when you are unexpectedly faced with a dating dilemma that challenges your integrity. For instance, what happens when you discover that you have the best chemistry with someone who is involved with someone else? Do you back off knowing that your connection with this person is probably a lot stronger than what they have with their significant other? Is it something you should pursue?
How do you handle your chemistry when you both have decided not to pursue things with each other?
Do you think that dating with integrity is really that rare?
Do most men and women act with integrity when they are just dating or does that come later when people are in love?
What would happen if everyone used integrity in dating? How would our interactions change?
