Most people know “Tom and Jerry” as a classic cartoon that is watched by many different ages, shown in various languages, and loved by many people across the world. If ask what is “Tom and Jerry” it would probably be described as a famous television cartoon about a cat and a mouse that was established in the 40s. I however would argue that it is the current model for dating; the cat and mouse game.
The cat chases the mouse and the mouse teases the cat. This dating ritual can be seen when going out and all the “cats” are chasing “mice” or even through people whom have already established a sort “relationship”. But, is it really a relationship if you are still playing games? As related to Tom and Jerry, both parties can have equal roles in engaging in tormenting each other and at times they have equal enjoyment. At what point are games no longer acceptable?
Is the chase the only thing to be found interesting in a relationship? What happens after the prey has been caught? It seems that the interim between the chase and whatever is next is where it gets blurry. Is it so difficult to keep a relationship “spicy” without playing games? Is it really that uninteresting once they actually call you back?
And then there are the “rules”. Don’t call her the day after the date, wait three days before calling him, say you are busy the next time they ask you out…REALLY!!! Is this what is necessary and required to enjoy the company of the opposite sex?
I am no expert on the ins and outs of dating and will not use this venue to pretend to be. I however will caution people to engage fairly. Tom, if you are interested in only the chase, make for certain that Jerry’s into it. Jerry, if you enjoy teasing Tom with your wittiness and opportunistic personality, make sure he likes the chase. Most importantly Tom, when you find a good mouse, do what it takes to hang on to it. Remember, Jerry always gets away!

Gotta say I really enjoyed this one. The whole male/female dynamic always intrigues me. I've never been one for even trying to attempt to understand the "rules". You make a great point though, do you really have to play games to keep things interesting? I don't think so. I will admit that on a few occasions, my only interest in Jerry has been the chase, but I think making your intentions known (whether by coercion or doing so on your own) and letting your actions support that is the best way to approach the situation.
ReplyDeleteI love it. Actually I have the answer for what supposed to happen after the chase. Whatever euphoria "the chase" promotes, turns into a very quiet real love between the Tom and Jerry. A love that is not fleeting, and that last through out the years. Yeah, it will not have that crazy high "tha chase" brings, but it is a solid love that is steeped in real emotion. In order for a couple to truely achieve this love is only through a union of three, man, woman, and God. Like the bible says "Three Strand Rope isn't easily broke." Plus I agree, once Tom finds a Jerry worth the chase, Tom needs to hold on and see what a beautiful union it can be.
