When the music stops...

Dating is so much like musical chairs. You roam around and around grasping for a seat when the music ends.

In the dating world not all the chairs are the same.

Some are low and soft, some are high and leave your feet dangling.

Some are comfy, some are painful, some are polished to a high shine, some are worn and rugged.

Everyone seems to enjoy the game, it's fun.

But there are the times when you don't get a seat, which isn't so fun.

Then there are the times when you find a great chair, a nice place to land, a lovely fit.

Unfortunately, you too often find, that great seat was manufactured far away, and although the music has stopped and you've found a comfortable spot, soon you'll have to be moving again, with one less chair in the room.

Great metaphor. I always felt like I couldn't even hear the music playing, much less find a seat.

Not only must you end up liking your seat, but your seat must like you back too; and it better be sturdy, or there could be two less chairs left in the room.

Nice space you got here by the way.

I've had a fair share of chairs return to their point of origin after too brief an acquaintance, so I hear you loud and clear. It's almost better never to have found such a comfy seat in the first place as it means you miss it all the more when it's not there anymore.

Unfortunately, spending too long playing muscial chairs can be rather exhausting.

Hope you don't mind me linking you =)

Well, maybe this chair is portable. After all, it has legs...

You never know if you don't ask.

ergo - Hmmm, this chair would need to have strong arms...there's a lot of water in between

There is a story here you're not telling...

The thing to always remember though is the chair changes from being sat on. Always look for a chair whose design looks like it will change in the right way with you.
