What is the Hardest Thing About Dating?

I think my hardest part is knowing the timing for asking someone out. I have liked the same girl for 3 years and have not felt like the timing was right for asking her out as of yet. It seems strange as hell because I want to ask her out and I know she is waiting for me to ask her out but I just don't feel ready. I know she is waiting around for me because she has not been seeing anyone else, but I know she is getting impatient, but I can't help it. I just have to know inside of myself when the timing is, and I'm just not feeling it yet!

I think one of the hardest parts is finding someone good who is not already dating someone else.

Seriously, though, I think one of the main problems is that people are so eager to be in A relationship that they bite too quickly on any bait that comes along. Both girls and guys do this and end up missing out on someone else who is better due to being too busy trying to fix someone who isn't.

Well for me now, its a trust thing just talking to them, I'm waiting for the excuses to come (I like you as a friend) or as the case usually is, they just don't show up for anything we arrange . I just wish people could be blunt with you about how they actually feel rather than dragging it on (even if they think it's the right thing to do ! )

Approaching a girl is fairly easy for me, but asking for a date is difficult.

Plus, the last 2 girls I went out with told me they were single when they were actually seeing other guys steadily. It felt kinda like they played me, so perhaps I need to ask _exactly_ what "single" means to a girl. Or maybe it was simply bad luck that I met two head-gamers in a row.

All the rejection. It can hurt some guys the next time, and the next time and the next time after that. I gotta say, it scares the snot out of me. I'll do it if I have to (and it's rare when I actually get to a point where I can officially ask someone out for a date), but it's not a pleasant experience.

The whole phone/calling thing just sucks - my personal suggestion is just don't do it - don't ask for their number, just mention where you going to be next time, maybe write that down for them

Girls give away their number like gum, same for guys, its in no way any indicator of an interest level.

I voted approaching. It's the single most difficult thing I can attempt to do in life. I have no problem talking to women at all other than that.

With the anti-man sentiments that has been going on over the past 15 years, my biggest problem is approaching women out of fear of being sued for harassment. I've once approached almost 1,000 women in just one semester of college: no takers. The reasons fell into the "you are not my type" response in so many different rude and disrespectful variations. The Internet no longer works because there are so many fakers and scammers out there, have no idea who to trust anymore. Being the forsaken kind of guy I am(short, old, mixed race, not handsome, not rich) adds to the misery.

Harsh world we live in eh?

The hardest part for me is finding the right one. I am very picky when it comes to dating. I know what I want, and there are few girls that I know that fit the profile. I am by no means looking for the perfect girl. But there are some things that I won't settle on, ya know?

The step that seems to be the most difficult part after the number and the meeting, is getting her to that first date.

Somtimes I'll think about impressing her and taking her somewhere nice but then again, sometimes I'd rather just have a drink to see if she's worth the nicer date.

Or she won't return the call which is a nice way of saying "not interested. " This equating to a minus in Ego.

So I'd Vote "C," Except the guy version which is "calling her and hoping she'd answer. "

When you find someone that you're not interested in and they become the needy, clingy type. When they feel that if they pay that you owe them something, and oh my gosh those people that are horrible at continuing conversations that just sit there and stare at you and dwell in the awkward silence.

The hardest thing about dating is TRUST

I voted for waiting for the call, wondering if they are interested in you. It was always the worst trying to figure out how someone felt about you. And it always seemed to hard just to actually talk about it. Plus I always hated waiting on the call, especially since it was typically days after they said they would.

I would say the hardest for me is meeting someone. I am very shy so I tend to make myself unapproachable. I hate the awkwardness of the one on one, especially the first time with someone I don't know so I tend to be a hermit in my house. It really sucks.
