Would it be okay if I just date someone because I'm lonely? (Page 3)

[BeMuse]

Yeah, just keep it light and don’t lead them on and act like it’s serious.

[Leavesbound]

There are probably tons of girls who would love that.

[CapnHawk]

Go ahead and date someone. Better than nothing, especially if you are lonely.

[S_Rose]

If you're honest about it with the person you are dating, why not?

If you don't say that's the reason you are dating someone, then that is a big no no.

[crazy8000]

Just be honest about it.

Some people can't handle it and you need to be the better person and respect that.
( you damage them on a level that many times can destroy that person for ever )

[Anonymous]

As long as you would feel okay, if someone dated you because they felt lonely.

[FilmGuy93]

Nah... that would be a pretty crappy way to use someone.

[sensible27]

Maybe. Do you have someone in mind that you already like?

[FunkyMonkee]

Sure! Why not? Just be careful not to let it become something bigger in their eyes.

[FunkyMonkee]

Two dislikes? WHY? Would you rather let a guy think it's more than it is and then break his heart? Are you INTO having a broken heart?

[CallmeTheKnight]

I wouldn't say it would be a good idea. There's a difference between being alone and lonely, a big difference.

[Havill4nd]

I'm the exact same. I want to date someone but I have no idea how. It feels like there is both a very specific way of doing it and a million ways to do it.

[clampfan101]

Casual dating is fine. Just don’t have sex or anything out of loneliness. Don’t make it a serious relationship unless it’s out of love.

[JackofSpades]

Y

[shouldnobetter]

Sure, everyone has to start somewhere, and that's a good reason. That's how friendships and then relationships begin.

[Vivaldi]

I did it one time but the girl was not bothered after I told her that I don't love her, which was 11 months after we started dating. She just stopped the relationship without feeling sorry at all.

[MannMitAntworten]

You would not be the first and you will not be the last to do so.

[Twalli]

Maybe don't make it a date. My sister used to go to Panera every day after school with a guy. They never had any interest in dating

[RingOfFire]

Of course its okay. That's one of the main reasons most people date.

[Jamie05rhs]

Yes; go for it! Just swipe right on the girls that are looking for "Something Casual."

[eyekneepain]

Yeah that’s like the only reason to date pretty much. Just don’t think dating is easy
