Can you date someone for one month?

[Anonymous]

Has anyone done this? Date someone and then end it at the end of the month.

I did this with my ex when I was 19. He was a bit older and meanwhile I wasn’t serious about him because I knew he wasn’t serious at all. I actually only became official with him because I asked him out when I was drunk at a New Year’s party with him. He was always going out to clubs, posting stuff I thought was inappropriate etc and I knew he wasn’t good for me. It ended after a month and a half

[Account]

Why? I don't understand. I mean why specifically one month

[Asker]

It’s perfect if you don’t want something long term.

[Account]

But what will you do if you start actually liking them?

[Asker]

Still stick with the agreement. Because there’s 100% chance they moved on already.

[Account]

I am sorry that you have lost all hope and I truly mean that 🫂.

[OlderAndWiser]

There are women in my past who I dated three or four times and then stopped dating her because we weren't a good match, but I never started dating a girl with the plan of only dating her for three or four weeks.

[Avicenna]

I have done it before (not intentionally), but it wasn't exclusive and neither of us were serious, so it was no big deal when it ended.

[Yannae]

You can but man that would be funny to meet someone, let's date, Peridot25, but only for a month. After that, we part ways, what do you say? Sounds like a social experiment almost. Depending on the luck it could be an interesting month or a very long one.

[SotiCoto]

I did it for 3 months once. Had a deadline and everything... that being the day she went back to her home country. We both agreed in advance that it would end then and there...

... except when we got to the deadline, I was the only one who stuck to it. She basically threw a fit over it on the day, went back home, and her friends doxed me and sent me death threats. Yeah.

[midnightmoon05]

Wouldn’t do that purposely… I have gone on many one dates.. like an interview.. I don’t like to waste time.
I have giving them 2-4 dates…so that’s like a month. Just don’t feel it. So moved on.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

You mean like a summer fling? Ya I’ve done it before. Breaking up with that woman was top 10 dumbest things I’ve ever done though.

[Asker]

How come?

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Because she was actually a really nice girl and came from a good family. I think we actually might have lasted a long time but my ex called me up, begged me to take her back and like the 18 year old moron I was back then I broke up with the new girl who there was literally nothing wrong with her.

[MacDaddyRico]

Yeah, I'm going to fuck with someone's feelings by dating them for just a month and then dropping them like a bad habit. What kind of narcissistic loser does this?
What kind of goddamn question is this?

[Asker]

Damn, dude. It’s not that serious 😅 As long as both parties are ok with the agreement, no one gets hurt. It’s perfect for those who only want something short term.

[MacDaddyRico]

It's stupid. Period.
Get a fucking life already.

[thatshydork]

I date to marry so no. But hey if that’s what you wanna do, that’s your choice. No judgement here🤷🏻‍♀️

[BetaBucks]

Not a literal calendar month, just yeah, I've dated for roughly a month. Just not a good match for me.

[pianogirlmeow]

My friend done it, but not intentionally. He was a nice guy but she realised that he wasn’t that funny and it was important to her.

[Purpleronnie]

For me that would be about 2 dates so i don’t really know how much there would be to end but sure if that’s a thing these days

[TommyMountainFigure]

If I have then it wasn't deliberate. I mean, It's not like I set out to have a one month relationship with anyone!

[KostasKouvalis]

I had an online relationship that lasted only 2 weeks. We vibed well, but it ended up not working out because of religious differences

[Sasquach]

I've had situationships similar to that but I don't think I'd ever try to start a serious relationship with the intention of severing it

[Dongie]

Had one for 2 months and about a week. She ended it but tried twisting it so it was on me. Looney.

[LiamJHayden]

I've had several short official relationships, but none that short. Six weeks, though.

[OhLongJohnsoning]

If money wasn't an issue, yeah, sure

But sadly, I don't make that much

[Anonymous]

Probably not. I've never dated anyone past the first date.

[sawno]

Why would I want that?

[Asker]

If you don’t want a long term relationship.

[Serkee]

But why give it a specific end date? Even if you don't want a long term relationship now, why not let it grow into one if that's what you want later? You're not losing anything by staying with someone if that's what you both want.

[Asker]

@Serkee It’s perfect for those who want short term relationships. It’s all up to those who are involved.

[sawno]

@Peridot25 If I just want sex I can also just be straight forward and have sex with her for a while and enjoying us being friends with benefits. I don't want to develop an intense bond with someone I'd only be with for a month.

[Serkee]

@Peridot25 That doesn't make any sense to me. If you want a short term relationship then just leave when you feel like leaving. If you're not committed in the first place then why set a time limit?

[Asker]

@Serkee If you’re not involved, then what would it matter to you?

[Asker]

@sawno Whatever works 🤷‍♀️

[Serkee]

@Peridot25 It wouldn't matter to me if I weren't involved, but you asked if I would do that, so this is about me. Regardless, I'm just trying to understand what the point would be.

[Zacksparrow]

does it happen with you i think

[Alli112]

I guess? Do you mean, like, deliberately?

[WhitneySnow]

Why would you do that?

[Jennz6]

I dated for a weekend

[NathanDavis]

nope

[foxsquirrell]

Sounds like a deal.

[shortster]

Possibly, I haven't tried it yet.

[eagle1951]

that's up to you and them

[Guacamole409]

Yess

[DrPepper12]

Sounds intriguing.

[Kaizer000]

Is sex involved?

[Asker]

I guess if that’s what you want

[Kaizer000]

Then yeah. It'd be like a pump and dump thing. I doubt I'd feel attached to them or truly love them though.

[Asker]

What if they get attached though?

[Asker]

Like they believe you want something more.

[Kaizer000]

I thought they were the ones who initially said they only want it for a month? If that's the case, I'd just break it off after a month. I can't be forced to love them...🤷

[impalabill77]

Nope never have.

[zombiewoof]

It happens
