Sure, lots of people do it just for the company. It is nice to have friends and it is nice to have freind sof the opposite sex. As long as you do not mislead somebody.
Get a pet if you are lonely. It is a substitute until you are actually ready to date and be with someone. Going into fake dating a person you know the outcome is you hurting them. That's not fair to them
I mean, it’s kinda dumb to expect that to change anything.
No I don't think so, that's how you meet the one. I met my hubby in the weirdest way we had common friend and we just met one day by chance and it's 11 years later
I am lonely too especially in this COVID era. I mean I was lonely before COVID. I remember I wanted to kill myself because I was lonely. But now I feel better now since I found myself as a gay escort. I mean I am a transgender but working as gay escort because I look better as a man than woman. It looks like all transgenders are working as a hookers and all women in America are hookers. I mean I am not a hooker but I want to know how popular I am so I am using escorting website hahahah..
It's useful to you, but straight up using and abusing the other person. You should at least let the other person know ahead of time that you're not looking for a super serious relationship right now.
It's fine to date someone just because you are lonely, as long as your are upfront, and make it known that you only want to be friends.
At least find someone who cares about you, not someone who takes advantage of you
@gwenhwyfar please tell this girl ho Ard it is to fine someone like that.
Just play along; at least you won't feel as you are being used
Is it really? @S3ntnl @Gwenhwyfar
@sensible27 it’s not that hard
Not hard? You know all the ones I met
Isn’t that why we all date? We all want a partner to come along the ride with us?
Yes but tell her your intentions from the beginning in order to not cause an ugly fight in the future.
Yes and no. I think it's better to complete yourself as much as possible at a person should be an addition to yourself not a completion of yourself.
You are getting older at 26? Plizz dont be that ridiculous. Ask that to a person who is 50 unmarried no kids, no date no boyfriend no nothing. I and then you say you are lonely?
Isn't that reason why anyone dates? i mean why would i want a girlfriend if i didn't feel lonely without one?
That won't be fair, to either of you.
You shouldn't be dating someone just to fill some hole. And the one you date also doesn't deserve to simply be chosen to cure your loneliness.
I’d say it’s kind of desperate try dating someone you actually like and care for not just a random person that you don’t like.
Speaking as a guy, we generally have to settle. I dated two women in my life I was honestly attracted to, the first for two weeks, after which I discovered we were a bad match, the second was a one-night stand and she had a boyfriend and drunkenly punched me twice during the date.
Most of my female friends can date up very easily, so I think women assume that is true for men too. It rarely is.
I can't blame someone for doing that, BUT you will ultimately be happier if you date someone because she is compatible with you.
Done this before. Ended up developing feelings. I was honest about it from the beginning but it did not end well. Best not to.
I think it’s fine as long as you don’t lead her on.
Or Mary her!
I mean don’t people normally date because they feel lonely every so often?
No, that’s codependency
Seems like you just want someone without the strict attachment of actually loving them as a partner and a person. I'd say get a friend with benefits then.
