Is dating really fun? (51)
joyaepace: My sister things dating is fun, I don't feel that way. It feels same to me like looking for work or accommodation and such, and I just would not be bothered most of the time. I would like my love just to turn up one day without me doing anything! What do you think? Is dating fun and is it worth a bother?
Im not sure that I ever understood the concept of dating
Ccincy: Dating can be fun if you make it that way.
Or it may be a nightmare! For example, a hangovered date who tries to get under your skirt when you meet him for the first time!
How do you make it fun? 
I suppose I didn't "date" when I was younger, you met someone through friends, took your time getting to know him and that was it.
I probably never will get the concept.
The concept of "looking for someone" doesn't do it for me, I like going out, meeting up with people and just enjoy a night out.

I mostly like dating. But I guess I do go into it with an inherent optimism... I expect to make a lot friends in the dating process. And I expect I'll occasionally find something more.
Since that's pretty much how it's gone for me, I have no complaints.

It's such an arbitrary question, or at least, there are arbitrary situations and answers. Dating can be very costly, considering it might not "work out" so to speak. I was once slam dunked during dinner; the date had no intention of "dating", chose to let me down during the date, knowing full well before she accepted that there was no intention (she was seeing someone else!) I don't know about other guys, but I resent being a meal ticket, and I resent the ruse. (When asked on the date, she should have owned up the truth. Guys don't ask ladies out who are interested in someone else.)Let's be real. Accepting a date indicates some interest, and if you're not interested, you're being deceitful accepting the date.Oh yeah, see me doing cartwheels

It is costly of course...
you don't need to expect anything in the early days...you have to give her a time for thinking... maybe she is thinking about you are being persistent or not... women like persistent guys...
after talking via phone for 2-3 weeks, then we made our first date...then, I accepted my guy after 10 dates...only easy peasy girls that accept any invitation immediately...these girls even fall into bed quickly...

are you serious about any of this, especially the phone time? Cyn_Real: It is costly of course...

I totally agree, but am wondering if you got the entire picture of what I was saying. The woman was currently involved. The correct thing to do after having been asked out on a date would be to say, "That's so nice of you. And I would love to have dinner. I Need to tell you that I'm not available for exclusive dating right now". That lets a guy know the landscape without her having to give details. It's succinct, fair, and honest. Not saying it-- ISN'T.you don't need to expect anything in the early days...you have to give her a time for thinking... maybe she is thinking about you are being persistent or not... women like persistent guys...

galrads: patience, such as you possess, is something a lot of people should consider adopting.
Yes...of course...
and do not compare me with your previous women...
glad that I am not one of them...
there is no such achievement in pump and dump scale...

I think that there are those who are "serial daters" who knowingly have no intentions of being serious and simply use others. I remember having a date with one guy who had a woman who ordered the most expensive items on the menu and basically told him that she was merely there for the dinner ..... he promptly asked for his bill and left her to pay for her own!
Not surprised with the vote breakdown.
Kashmirr: Not surprised with the vote breakdown.
Hmm... yeah, I guess that did come out about as expected.
I don't even remember what dating is like
When I was young and single, I loved it........but it certainly wasn´t on the internet!!!
Now I´m old....I had to force myself to make the first one...nice guy, but not the one for me. Made quite a few initially, but soon discovered it was better to get to know people before going out with them. Then you don´t waste their time or your own. If I get to know someone and have feelings for them I will take it further but they are few and far between.
If you want to find a partner, you have to make an effort....they will not just drop out of the sky!!!!

I completely agree...
I put other, I dont dislike dating (never did it as a youth), but I dont like the pressure it confers on the two parties...
Anyone whos done the build up will get what I'm saying, only to meet and have it all go to hell when expectations fall way below par...
Frankly, the single life looks like the safest option if not the best...
