Do people still date?

[cth2188]

Go out on dates, get to know the person, and have coffee?

What happened to dating?

[OlderAndWiser]

I am living with my girlfriend but I still take her out to dinner, and I take her places on the weekend, such as the beach, or Saint Augustine. If I was not in a relationship, I would be dating, taking a lady to dinner, concerts, the zoo, the beach, foorball games, antiquing, etc.

[Zondahyura22]

Yup i personally prefer this but there's few if any woman that appreciate and willing to spend and worth dating. also Social media ruined the show already. But still i see every now n then old fashioned couple like walking in garden or beach and having coffee at quite place. Its not fun to be in the bed always

[cth2188]

Sadly I may have to go over seas to find traditional partners

[cth2188]

Like Canada or the UK

[Zondahyura22]

Hmm in my opinion its not good idea to search for it you just live your life and such things show up in unexpected way its kinda fate to meet the right one

[cth2188]

I’ve been single 7 years how long am I suppose to wait clearly not enough traditional people nowadays

[Zondahyura22]

Well agree with you no much traditional people.
Hmm i feel i would like to know you more will dm you if you don't mind

[cth2188]

I date women honey

[Zondahyura22]

Alright

[cth2188]

My mate would have to be pagan

[Zondahyura22]

So what are you bringing to the table to the traditional dating Market? Wondering

[cth2188]

My mate would have to be pagan once again it’s not about being traditional those words don’t exist in my world pagans are neither traditional or modern were spiritual people

[cth2188]

Do I come from a traditional background yes , but I’m spiritual

[Zondahyura22]

Best wishes

[WhitneySnow]

Some people in my school do but it’s a lot less formal and more like they ask you out but you don’t actually go out anywhere if you know what I mean. But people definitely still pair off into couples.

[cth2188]

That’s not dating :(

[WhitneySnow]

Oh ok. Sorry.

[cth2188]

I pass with dating of today

[Novacane]

Because people are realizing that nowadays is not worth it, especially with the type of people out there. Nowadays people would rather be casual dating which is just having sex with one another and that's it.

[cth2188]

You right

[cth2188]

Screw it

[Massageman]

People who actually expect their relationships to last until death do they part may still be dating to find appropriately compatible mates. Our "me, me, me" culture and social media-driven society has really put a crimp in the pleasure of the chase!

[exitseven]

yes, believe it or no I used to like to go out on dates. One year I dated 6 or 7 women and none of these ever went anywhere but it was fun and I had some cool adventures.

[Massageman]

@exitseven I believe it -

[exitseven]

I wonder about this too. I think social media had messed it all up.

[DragonDraggin]

Did you go on dates 10 years ago or is this something new in the water

[cth2188]

I haven’t dated in 10 years and I’ve been single 7 years

[DragonDraggin]

So what's the issue are you not getting asked out, are they just hooking up

[cth2188]

I’m not in the dating world and dating is too over sexualized

[DragonDraggin]

No people aren't dating. According to some stats.

And if they sre they dating the same few dudes for hookups

[cth2188]

Why I’m single and will remain single

[DragonDraggin]

Date older men they'll appreciate you and want companionship

[cth2188]

I don’t date men I’m lesbian

[cth2188]

I’m not seeking anything with anyone

[iJokeTeeth]

It happens, it's just not as traditional as it was; dating is a lot more fast paced these days

[cth2188]

Idc for it

[cth2188]

If it’s that way I guess it’s back to dating solo as I have been

[iJokeTeeth]

I suppose it depends on much patience you have, you can give up or keep trying, it all takes time

[cth2188]

I take myself out - the way how people date isn’t traditional and I’m traditional

[iJokeTeeth]

Fair enough

[cth2188]

I don’t want to deal with this dating world

[iJokeTeeth]

I can understand that, it's nightmarish and frankly not worth the effort sometimes

[cth2188]

Yep single 7 years

[iJokeTeeth]

So what exactly do you mean by traditional?

[cth2188]

Clearly not society’s standards

[cth2188]

Traditional has many meanings

[iJokeTeeth]

Perhaps. Would you ever consider easing some of those self imposed restrictions in order to maybe not be single anymore?

[cth2188]

Nope

[cth2188]

Not in this climate anyways

[cth2188]

Rather be single

[iJokeTeeth]

Well that's fair enough, at least you have your pride

[cth2188]

Yep.. I’m fine single

[cth2188]

I don’t expect anything anymore

[scott04sa22]

I don’t date but I’ll like too 🥺

[cth2188]

If I were dating she would have to be pagan

[scott04sa22]

Finding someone like that is very hard

[cth2188]

Yep why I’m hidden

[cth2188]

Why I’m in a coven I don’t dare religious or non pagans

[scott04sa22]

I see

[cth2188]

Date “ I don’t have time for judgmental or discriminative people plus I’m at home

[scott04sa22]

I don’t have time for that either. I wish it was simple

[cth2188]

Yep I stick to my own

[cth2188]

Not hard finding pagans it’s hard being accepted by norm society

[scott04sa22]

That is true, it’s very hard to find a girl who would stay with me then running off to someone else then gets married so quickly ugh… 🙄

[cth2188]

Yes it’s better to be with like minded people

[scott04sa22]

Open minded yes but I had women who told me their opened minded when their not too opened minded. I can be good in bed but not not enough for them to stay over night then the next day she’s talking to her soon to be highly potential husband in a few days or more

[cth2188]

For me like minded I don’t openly talk about my practice as it’s in my blood like

[cth2188]

Generational stuff

[scott04sa22]

Well everybody is different

[cth2188]

Yes I rather not deal with outsiders

[cth2188]

It’s protecting blood lines

[scott04sa22]

I see on

[cth2188]

Closed practices

[Iron_Man]

Yes they do but do they last long

[cth2188]

I don't know I didn’t realize people still dated nowadays

[Iron_Man]

Yeah they do

[cth2188]

Probably wouldn’t be up to my par anyways

[Iron_Man]

Yes I can completely understand you

[cth2188]

Nope sadly

[Iron_Man]

I do we’ve talked before

[cth2188]

Yep..

[Iron_Man]

I’m sorry

[JuanVeIasco]

I put it in her, on the first date.

[KrakenAttackin]

Why would anyone date? Just Netflix and chill.

[cth2188]

Why would anyone Netflix and chill?

[cth2188]

No morals or standards

[KrakenAttackin]

True enough. FYI, I like your "We The People" banner.

[cth2188]

Thanks

[Danny_dan92]

I haven’t in years
