When it comes to dating are you practical or impulsive?

Question

TruthBringer · Accepted Answer

Most definitely  Practical. All my actions in life are calculated. I know what I want in a partner and why that is. I take as much control as I can to control an outcome and leave as little as I can to chance. This mindset has helped me tremendously in dating, development and career. I've dated impulsive people before and the difference between me and them is as day and night. I can't imagine letting myself get dragged by impulsivity. No wonder their lives are a mess. If I stayed any longer then my own life would have been a mess as well. Good riddance.

I have no clue really. Maybe impulsive but I might be too nervous so I'd do practical.

More Refusal… refuse to date these days because of what/how dating has become…I’m good with the memories of a better time… memories may not keep you warm at night… but neither does hook ups, friends with benefits, arguing about who pays, etc, etc blah blah

I am willing to sacrifice a high income option if the guy is virtuous but not if the guy is good looking. I love good looking guys but will not marry a guy for his good looks.

A bit of both, maybe more on the Practical side.

I've been very practical in my dating. I date younger women, healthy, with low to no body count. Family oriented/ close to family (particularly their dad) and fairly intelligent/ educated to be able to contribute. They also improve me in some areas. Beautiful enough to be attractive to me, but not too much to where they're full of themselves.

Lately I'm nothing lol But usually when I date I listen to my gut feeling, while still having my brain on, I don't jump into things and I don't rush things but if I have to do a decision I do rather listen to my gut feeling.

Anemone978 · Answer

I am very impulsive... I am beginning to see my faults so much more clearer the more people I meet and interact with... I suppose this is why I can't find love. I hurt people on impulse and I ditch things before they can start. 😅

More practical. Maybe in my 20's I would have been more impulsive.

However, the last month of so, I've been more impulsive, just picking up and going somewhere.

Ottawa a few weeks ago and Niagara last weekend.

My dating days have been over for a while now, but I was definitely practical.

Azbionica · Answer

I am practical only after years of understanding that impulsive dating generally leads to volatile relationships because it overlooks the person standing there looking so gorgeous and not realizing i was ignornig the knee deep sea of red flags surrounding them.

Potteplante · Answer

I'd say impulsive which hasn't always been that beneficial to me. Time will show how I'll be now in my 30s when I'm ready to date. 😅

TacosRAwesome · Answer

I'm trying to be practical but it's not giving results. Although if I'm honest, I'm not that sure as to what I want. All I know is what I don't want.

DizzyDesii · Answer

Too practical in the beginning. Almost a con instead of a pro

LazerBean · Answer

Practical. Enough so that the first man I made it to the level of boyfriend with was the one I married.

FifiJones · Answer

I have a strong preference towards spontaneous and impulsive!

asphaltrhymes · Answer

Practical, with dashes of being impulsive (e. g. gee that woman sure looks hotter than what I thought I would be into on my long list of preferences hahaha). I'm a little shallow, but not completely. 😋😋😋👀👀👀

I'm probably one of the coolest blooded person you will ever meet.

fonduegirl · Answer

I think more impulsive than practical. I usually don't care if the guy has a job or not (unless he makes me pay for his share at the dinner). I also like younger guys which is impractical in my mom's opinion.

TalynMere · Answer

Impulsivity is only good for one night stands. It's not love, it's not magic, but it is powerful and awesome. Practicality is how you actually carve the life you want to live.

LiamJHayden · Answer
