I am single and have been dating for maybe 6 months now?

i notice at work or with guy friends they constantly come at me or say something negative towards me if i bring up i am going on a date. It’s never women it’s always the men. Last night i went bowling and i have a few guys say to me oh on another date? Why do people care much or why is going on dates such an issue?

It's probably because those guys are jealous and they like you. Or they resent the fact that you're dating and they're not. Guys do the same thing to other guys too, but especially if you're a guy who can pull girls and they can't. The other dudes will be jealous and put him down, or try to act like he's really not having that kind of success with women because they aren't.

Men who fear singleness or are battling with their own unmet desires or lack of confidence will put all that energy into hating you instead of trying to work at being successful with women.

It still happens even when you're a girl. You have to understand that in today's world, a lot of guys are taught that they will struggle to get a partner and told that it's far easier for a woman to get one, so a lot men do walk around preoccupied with that, feeling insecure and depressed about not being able to attract women, instead of cultivating character that is attractive. And when they see a woman is dating they feel bad, and if they see that another guy in the room is "pulling ass" and they aren't - but especially if he's not special looking - they will hate him like crazy.

You really shouldn't be telling anybody at work your business ever and don't ever date anybody at your work either

It doesn't matter if you think they are your friends. Because there not

And one of these days. Someone at your work is going to know too much information about you. It's gonna turn around and bite you in the ass

Guys usually encourage other guys with teasing like that
You’re just one of the boys to them if they’re doing it to you


That being said: if you don’t like it you can chose not to advertise your dating situation and when asked just say “wouldn’t you like to know” and walk away


That’s why certain things are better off kept private

They are just trying to break your concentration, that's it.

"Oh another date"? How is that negative? It sounds like you might be a little oversensitive.
