What are the best and worst parts of dating?

Question

The bad:

The pressure to text all the time and if you don't reply back right away or eventually then the guy will think you don't like him. I remember asking a guy for a day off from texting because he would try to text me all day every day. He said something like, "If you don't like me then just tell me instead of leading me on." And it's like... I like you but now I'm not sure anymore since you are so clingy and you can't seem to understanding that I have a life outside from you..

The pressure that I will eventually talk about sex with him. Or if we don't talk about it ever, he'll make a move that will make me uncomfortable and I'll have to turn him down a couple of times. Maybe after that we'll have the talk about sex and I'll reveal that I don't plan to have sex until I've been with the guy for a very long time. And obviously I just don't sleep with any guy. I could easily decide I don't want to have sex with him at all in the relationship. It's whatever I am comfortable with. If he only cares about sex then he won't stick around, saving us both time.

The guy lies about himself to get me to like him more. The last guy I talked to i started to suspect that he was lying a lot about himself just to get into a relationship with me. I didn't realize it at first but after a while everything I said, he would like, it started to make me suspicious. I told him I'm not a drinker and I rarely drink (a few times a year). He said he was the same. Every weekend he told me he was drinking with friends or try to hide it for whatever reason. Which is completely fine, but don't lie. So I fear I am talking to a guy who's just lying about every single thing about himself. I don't want to date someone like that.

The good:

The connection we have for each other. I've met a guy where we had an instant connection and it was an amazing feeling. It made dating so effortless, so fun and such a nice experience. I didn't fret about anything with him. I just knew we were both very into each other. He definitely knew too.

Having someone there for you. It's nice to have a shoulder to cry on. Or someone to vent to. And especially when the guy trusts you tell you exactly what he's feeling and doesn't hide it. It made me feel important and to know that our connection is true and real. I want to be there for my guy every step of the way. If he can trust me and allow himself to be vulnerable around me I would easily accept him and comfort him.

Having a best friend in your life. Someone you can tell anything and everything to even if it's weird or sounds crazy. You just get each others humor and you make each other laugh endlessly. You know what they like from food to tv shows to clothes to favorite smells. You just really get them. You are always happy to be with them when you hangout.

When you start dating you start expecting from that person, and if things don't work out, you simple get your heart broken! That's the worst part. We need to realize that dating is just a process of learning the other person better!
And the best part is, it gives you beautiful memories especially when the person with you would be a precious part of your life.

Best: possiblity of a long term soul mate and all the emotional relief that gives.

Worst: possiblity of a bad date, a person who only uses you, a divorce happy partner and a person who would accuse you of anything because they just hate you.

Best: the excitementand discovery. The emotions that go while you are falling for that person. Worst: meeting crappy people. Sometimes clingy crappy people.

The best part is made of little pieces - from so many things we start to appreciate for a change...

We stop taking life for granted when love is alive in our hearts.
We can see beauty where we once only saw insanity.
We enjoy more the simple things, the silly but unforgettable moments you suddenly can perceive.
We behold the greatest elation of being alive.

The bad part may differ. Not all relationships are the same... so, for me, I'd have to say... the end!

Definitely.. it's the worst thing we can endure after contemplating the possibility of a true love.

I think the best part of dating is the excitement of getting to know someone. The worst part of it, it’s realizing you have to friend zone who you initially thought could be a match. ☹️

Leimarie · Answer

I think the best part of dating are getting to know yourself better in the process. What you want in a partner, what you absolutely do not want in a partner, etc.
In my opinion, the worst part of dating is the realization that a person who seems absolutely perfect on paper is just not the right match for you. Besides general incompatibility, rejection can also sting a bit, especially if you are ghosted which is a growing trend.

Best: the butterflies of two people crushing on each other. The getting to know someone process is unique and fun.

Worst: dating standards/ideals have changed so much I am unsure of what "dating" actually means to people 23-38 in age...

Best: Not being lonely, it's fun, the sex. Worst: I'm in a relationship now, and I can barely find time for him because I'm so busy with college. on top of that he's a captain in the army and is always busy.

For a girl with strict parents, best thing is just getting a chance to finally go out with him. Worst is being spotted by a person I know, especially someone in my family or neighborhood.

keshainlove · Answer

Worst might be pressure they give you and maybe their baggage, like smoking or something. Try not to get tempted to follow their nasty ways. That’s for SOME guys tho lol. Good things are their cuddles and affection/company and support ❤️.

Thinking if she actually likes you or is she just talking to you because she likes the attention. As Steve Irwin once said “crocodiles are easy they try to kill you and eat you. People are harder. Sometimes they pretend to be your friends.”
