Do you date just to date, or do you date to get married 🤔?

Question

Which one? 🤪

BullShark · Accepted Answer

I'm not at all a fan of the casual hook up or friends with benefits culture, and where I live, most people and friends of mine who are the same age as me are getting married and having kids of their own, so yeah. If I'm looking to date someone, it's gonna be long term and I'm looking to eventually get married to them and starting a family.

We'll spend the first month getting to know one another well. Keeping things casual seeing what we like and don't like, or what we can stand or not stand in each other. Basically just checking how compatible we are. Then if everything feels right, I'll pop the question.

Why date if you're not pursuing a goal? That's pointless.

I was looking for that magic feeling my mother had spoken of that she had once found and had taken from her (cancer) herself. She lit when she spoke of him. Even over the tiny things that happened between them. Even second hand you could feel the electricity. I wanted that, and was happy to be completely without if I had never found it.

to get married.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

I date to find a long term partner. MAYBE that will lead to mariage but maybe not.

KostasKouvalis · Answer

I don't date. I just turned 30, but I missed out on all that shit when I was younger, so I'm making up for it now. But I don't need to "date". "Hanging out" is sufficient enough. I thought about marriage before but now I really don't care. I just want to hang out with women, and it's nice not to have that kind of commitment. If it leads to something great, if it doesn't, I really don't care anymore. I see I'd much rather just have a friends with benefits. I'm definitely not ready for that kind of responsibility and commitment

Haha456 · Answer

Never date a guy who doesn't want to marry. From my experience, the only reason why a guy won't want to marry is because he fears deep commitment. Personally all the taken guys that have hit on me in the past were guys with girlfriends, not married men.

Lliam · Answer

I date to get into a committed relationship. I don't think about marriage because marriage is the biggest commitment of my life and I have to know someone intimately for a long time before knowing if I want to spend the rest of my life with them.

Committed relationships are awesome and they 'might' result in true, everlasting love. In the meantime, mutual infatuation is the best thing in the world.

I never had any interest in kids, so getting married wasn't an emergency.

AviatorTom · Answer

It changes.

When I was young and first started dating, it was to have fun, and maybe sex. As I got older, the desire to settle down and have a family caused me to date with the possibility of marriage,

Interestingly, after my divorce after 20 years of marriage, three same thing happened. For a few years, I just wanted to have fun, and sex. Then, I wanted to settle down again, and dated for long-term commitment, maybe marriage.

Adronicus · Answer

If I date at all its because I think there may be potential to leading to that. In all honesty I have more work on myself to do before I'm ready for that. Children require so much & if I'm unable to provide them a life worth having I'd rather not have them. I flirt around a bit, not dated in a long time.

ArtemisSilver · Answer

I used to date just for fun, but honestly, I am losing interest in doing that. I would like to cultivate a good relationship and have family on my mind although I am polyam so I still need to date a bit, I am up front about what I am looking for.

Twalli · Answer

Marriage. If I started earlier, I might have just done it to date. I can tell you that when I started dating my girlfriend, I didn't expect her to be my last. It looks like she will, because I am intending to marry her. We've been dating for over 4 years

NathanDavis · Answer

I don't date around, never have... I just end up in relationships that last a few years but I have not been married yet no rush either,. lol

Ezra_lila · Answer

Date to married, as I aged I learn that wasting time is a NO NO to me anymore. Wasting time is like throwing important stuff that I should keep on for myself.

I date just to date. I personally don’t believe in marriage but I believe in monogamy and loyalty and not every man gets that so it’s something I always make sure to mention right away.

DaveJord · Answer

I don't date to just date, and I don't date just to married either are you sure there should be some type of third option?

UnknownPuppet · Answer

To get married? No, I guess that need comes in a next phase of the relationship. I prefer doing one step at a time and living my life now.

20yearsolder · Answer

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it depends on where you come from but I think the majority of people date just to date. Hoping to find someone worthy to marry

I date to marry and that's a big part of the reason I've decided to date when I'm older. People this young are rarely committed.

MysticDevice · Answer

I'm not big on the whole marriage thing. And I don't date just to be with someone. Thats why I'm still single. But the companionship and such Is something I'd enjoy

DarkWinterNights · Answer

If I dated again it would be for a LTR. Probably not marriage. But dating just to date seems like sex with a bunch of strings attached.

BCA6010 · Answer

Dating is ultimately looking for someone to marry, for me anyway.

Avcfhcic · Answer

If you don't date with the intention to find someone to spend your life with, you shouldn't date

Anonymous · Answer

I'm leery of anyone who says they "date to get married". How can you decide you want to marry before you've even met a person you know you like. It's very cart before the horse. I wouldn't ever want to date a woman who said that.
