What do you like about it?

What do you not like about it?

i HATE Dating!!! i always have. i dont like the nervousness and getting to know someone with a view to "eh, naw."  or thinking that a romantic relaitonship is gonna be out of this world in an unrealistic way.  I am better just bumping into someone and becoming friends and letting things blossom from there.

i can see why my H and i were not compatible: b/c he has to constantly sneak around and feel the thrill of living on the edge and of having the newness of everything excite him. he didnt like settling for the same thing or it was too mundane for him.  if things get old with someone then we have no hope for the future. lol

I'm exactly the same way.  I hate dating.  Usually people do things to make the other person feel good....but in the end, they are not actually that way.

if anyone would do it the right way and make me get dressed up and take me on a date.. but nope it wont ever happen

[mantyangel]

No I hate it ... just want to snuggle on the couch in my pj's and watch a movie - that would be awkward for a first date LOL

[mommyRojo]

yeah, I haven't been happy dating either.  First dates are awkward and so far, the few that I have been on have been not fun, guy isn't cute...more of a hassle than anything.

I hate dating...there is too much polictics in it so to speak....I hardly get nervous anymore...I just hate hearing the same thing....we r the nicest person, so sweet, I could see myself with u for a loong time. Then for them to end up only after one thing! I think there should just b a list of every person u are supossed to b with..if they r married or dating u move on down the list lol...I do like meeting new people and learning about them.

I'm 27 and I hate dating infact I really feel there are many men that aren't worth my time. Really I don't even know how to handle the feelings,emotions, and the questions that pop in when the relationship starts to evolve. That's when I panic currently I'm really working on not doubting feelings of the one persuing me. After all he is the first not persue sex from the get go.

So far it sucks.....the guy I'm with now was AWESOME for the first couple of weeks...now it's Valentine's day and he's sleeping! We haven't seen each other in over a week and I got nothing!!!!! He gave me a peck and went to sleep! WHAT IS UP WITH THAT!?   He'll blame it on work and that will piss me off because my X blamed everything on work.....I'm tired bc of work...I don't have time bc of work....blah blah blah....how do you stop the cycle? I never thought I would be upset and angry about not having sex, but right now I'm pissed!!!! I just want someone who can't get enough of me for ever..not just the first couple of nights together.

Dating is now fun. Before my BF went on the road, we both made it be known of what was expected. Me: no overnights, no coming inside my house with the children there, and I can't remember the rest. We met online and when i went to meet him in person, I told everyone I could think of (he calls them my posse). Our first date was nice, we had appetizers and a cup of tea. We stayed there for about an hour and agreed to meet again. He is so considerate and respectful. He opens doors, brings flowers and jelly beans, more in tune of pleasing me to thepoint of me becoming spoiled. He set up date night every Thurs, and hand around his house on Sat. I think we are working because we have no preset expectations from each other. I still don't do overnights but he does come to the house.

I think of dating as a means to make friends instead of trying to find a mate. I am happy being alone beause that gave me time to rediscover myself.
