Are you done dating?

Question

ObscuredBeyond · Accepted Answer

I have a faint glimmer of hope. But I also have other things to deal with that have become more immediately important. Friends getting screwed over by the "justice" "system," which is now little better than a mafia. Finding a better job next year. Paying off my car. Keeping my eyes peeled for a glimmer of a faint hope of being able to buy my own house in the future.

When you add it all up, a woman would be a nice bonus, but not an absolute necessity. Getting some items published, getting royalties, using some of the money to get a lawyer and build an estate, ensuring that estate exists for a good cause so it won't die with me whenever I do, ensuring that my apparent total inability to have children has minimal bearing on the future of the estate I want to have... those are all criteria for things that matter more to me now than having a girlfriend, as nice as having one might be.

That I seem to be a sucker for damsels in distress sure hasn't helped me in the dating world anyway. Some of them, are simply too far gone, beyond my ability to save. Some of them actually deserve their distress. And sometimes, her and I both simply get unlucky. (At least two went and outright died on me!) So it's hard to not feel like my love life is irreparably cursed.

I would say more like I'm on extended leave from it.🤣

If I meet a woman that actually wants to date, wants something real. Wants to build something that 'll change. But no, I'm not going to turn my life upside down for some woman that just wants to play around. No thank you. I'd rather be single. 🙂

Done with it! It's just really one big disappointment after another. Some guys are so into porn and cheat and lie to me - can't put up with it anymore. They'll do you wrong and lie about it and it doesn't even bother them.

Same old merry-go-round, just a different 🐎 horse!

Years ago, I felt that way until I met a guy who I really connected with. We got on so well. I would have dated him, but he wasn't really ready to date. Or so he said. Not sure if he meant it or if was just telling me that, so i wouldn't expect anything but a friendship with him.

coachTanthony · Answer

Never give up... never surrender lol

rabbitzzz · Answer

It's not like I don't want to. But man is the world not in romantic mood. COVID-19, recession, inflation, fuel crisis, russian mobilization.
Would be nice to have a person to talk to. But scanning the winter snow with a ticking geiger counter won't be so bad. It will be an adventure!

DenizLikesTennis · Answer

Yes I am currently dating myself and it's brilliant. All food and drinks for me.

rbow_Z28 · Answer

i think given my current state of physical health - I'm in no condition to date; as I feel no good relationship can come from it. It would be me needing a caretaker which no woman should be expected of - that's a tremendous burden no woman should have to overtake.

UninterruptedMusic · Answer

I barely started.

I find that the more I improve myself (learning about personal fitness and grooming, learning to socialise), the more confident and hopeful I feel.

That said, I'm a late bloomer who only just began dating early this year. Maybe I'll get tired after a few years.

Ian69 · Answer

Yes, I think I’ve more all less decided to call it a day. I can’t be doing with all, the testing and mind games. All I want is someone I can cherish and share things with. I mean, honestly can it be that difficult.

Kinkysportguy · Answer

There's a very small hope but having been single for 12 years and with no intimacy with a woman in all that time I don't see anything changing anytime soon. Nobody seems interested Face to Face and I am not anyone's type on dating apps.

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

Done... I'm not done fucking, but dates are for losers. I might do a date if she's going to buy me food... and she better impress me as well. It'd be better off if she just lets me watch Netflix while she gives me that head game.

Paul09 · Answer

I sure don't try as much as I use to. Extremely hard to find a date nowadays. And when I use to find a date didn't work out. I've liked a lot, messaged a lot. I don't know what to do anymore. I don't have charismatic personality to go up to strangers either. I am so lost in the dating and meeting new people world. I just learned to be more comfortable being single and alone. I think less and less of dating.

TrillXHippy · Answer

To me being in a relationship and dating are 2 different things. I used to be in a long distance relationship many years ago but I have never went out on a date. If that makes sense. So yeah I was already done with something that has never even happened

McKellar · Answer

As much as I don't desire to quit dating, I feel like I'm practically done.

D-Pad_Chad · Answer

For the most part yes. I'd consider it again if I found someone who fit my criteria, however I've no delusion about it. Finding someone like that is extremely unlikely.

SeriouslyFunny00 · Answer

Right now yes, but when I turn 20 next month, I'll give it a shot. 🙈💕

FreyaRed · Answer

I've never had 'I'm done with that' phase. It's just a question of predicting a realistic outcome of most situations.

zagor · Answer

Yeah, based on the premise that if you're a baseball player hitting.087, you need to find another line of work.

TroyDT · Answer

No. A lot of people hate dating because they put too much pressure upon themselves and/or their date. Just have fun! If more develops, great. If not, I still had fun. Unless she's a <BLEEP>. Then I ditch her and have fun alone.

RandomGuy1032 · Answer

What might be the difference between “no” and “i still have hope”?

TacosRAwesome · Answer

Being completely honest, I don't feel I dated enough as I've been in a relationship all the time during my 20s.

ArrowheadSW · Answer

I still like dating. Although I have not done that much of it lately.

Mangospacho · Answer

I am. Since I got married, I realized it’s not for me and nobody wants to date me once I tell them I’m already married. Also, my wife said I’m done with dating so that’s it, I guess.

SolitarySolace · Answer

Yeah, I’ve been done for almost 8 years now. If I find the right Girl I might risk a date but for the most part, I’m done.
