Doing the marriage series last week made me contemplate what leads to marriage, which is dating, of course. So this week I am presenting a most helpful and informative teaching series on dating. Chime in with your hints and tips.

 

Big Head / Little Head - Dating 101

 

The Head in Charge

Women, I am about to tell you something you probably already know.  Men have have a big head and a little head.  Sometimes big head lets little head do what passes for the thinking between the two.  Little head can easily rationalize acting really stupid, manipulative, selfish and immature. If big head isn’t maintaining some control over little head then both heads can get in trouble as a result.  They can also hurt relationships, friendships, families, children, communities and themselves.  Little head doesn’t think about those consequences. 

Women, How To Tell

Women, you know, or should know, that men have these two heads. You should look for signs that tell which head is doing the thinking when on a date.  If you feel you are being manipulated in conversation and being pushed into doing something they don’t want to do, in spite of you letting it be known they don’t want to do it, you can rest assured it’s Little Head doing the thinking.  Big head has checked out and is just along for the ride. Women, being able to spot this phenomenon is a helpful quality to have.  It can save you a lot of grief. It doesn’t mean the guy is bad, it just means you might want to wait until his big head is back in charge before you get too involved.

Men, You Should Know

Ah Men, you thought I was going to leave it there and say that it’s all due to you having these two heads, didn’t you? No, it isn’t.  Men, you should know that women also have two heads. If you don’t then you haven’t been paying attention.  Their little head can take control over their big head as well.  Yes, you men seem to let little head take over with more frequency, it’s true.  But women aren’t one headed robots.  They can cede control to little head on a date and wreak some havoc in the wrong situation too. It’s not a one way street.

Master of My Domain

I am hopeful the dear reader does not think I am against little heads. I think they are wonderful and have an important role to play. Some of my best friends, of both genders, have them.  But just as a captain leads the ship on the voyage, big head needs to be master of the dating domain, not little head.
