Well, one example for me, is that it feels like... dating someone is like taking an exam that you haven't studied for. (Nor can you anyway.) and failing it CAN be a big deal.
Sharing a bed. Ugh I need a bed the size of my room. I keep getting bruised ribs from having his elbow in my rib 😤 I swear it's worse now with a Queen bed than when we had the double
Lies head games constantly arguing so many things can just make you absolutely miserable in a relationship. Also there’s a good positive side happiness bonding snuggling and holding each other having great conversations going out doing things really clicking
The worst part of dating is the uncertainty. The worst part of being in a relationship is not always agreeing with your partner and having unnecessary arguments/disagreements because of that.
I thought it was fun to meet new people. Mostly there was no second date but so what? I always went with no expectations so I was never disappointed.

Honestly, I used to worry about strangers constantly hitting on my girlfriend. I would worry (regardless of knowing that she won’t cheat) whether someone is asking her out rn, following her around, catcalling her, etc. And yeah, it would annoy me.
If I can recall correctly, it was obligation part of it. Sometimes I just wanted to many days alone. Not to mention, I felt like sex was a chore and sometimes I didn't feel like working
I'd rather be in no relationship than a bad one. Likewise, I'd rather be in a good relationship than be alone. *NOTE: "bad" and "good" may be subjective.
Good question. I'm big on "we aren't breaking up. We're going to sit down and figure out how to fix whatever the problem is" and sometimes that's a difficult thing to do.

I hated the deceit and the lying. I hated ll the games people played and I hated that people made me play games too.

Also forgot to add:
While the girls, (in general) either:
A. They HAVE been able to study for it.
B. They had the same issue, but (unintentionally) makes it look like they have it easier.

It's when they don't respect and are not honest with you.

in my opinion it’s the getting to know him stage and deciding how much to trust him and what to share. Deciding if I can feel safe with him or …

Exploring the possibility of an exclusive relationship. The questions, discussions, the doubts, the desires, so many things you don't expect.
Pretty much agree with you. Relationships are great, it’s the bullshit you have to go through first that sucks

The amount of totally undateable women who think they are the most amazing person in the room. *facepalm*
Excluding them, dating is fun and easy for me. Unfortunately they make up the majority of women.
Most of it lol. The searching, asking out, etiquette, assumptions and trying to interpret signals are all unenjoyable and stressful.
The lies and misconceptions people propagate in an attempt to get "lucky!"
Would struck in a loveless marriage for the sake of kids count?
The whole putting yourself out there because I don’t like going out I’m not a club person I just like hanging with family and friends
Breaking the ice, figuring out what you can and can't say so you know how to be comfortable around them. Structured conversation in general
