As the song goes! "Don't stop believing!" lol. The less you expect from these things the less disappointed you are. In the grand scheme of things they're not important really. And keep the ol' options open ! lol
Bed or couch. Car would depend on how comfortable it is and where you are! Comfort gets more important as you get older! lol. Unless you're super fit and healthy!
Most people, even those with bad experiences, who are not looking or don't want a relationship wouldn't begrudge others a happy relationship, but there are some who just love to whinge and be cynical for the sake of it and put others off if they can. And then there are those who seem like they're trying to put you off but are just giving their opinion even if it's anti relationship.
It works both ways though! Some who are in happy relationships or just dating love to be smug and sanctimonious about it and try to make those who are single/not looking feel like they are losers, inferior or committing some major crime! Remember I said SOME!
What's OT direction? I'm a non looker (not actively anyway, not in any hurry, happy out being single) but I agree it's just a question and I put in 2-5. I only went just to make an effort to date and it wasn't any big deal. No spark, just chat and a drink. I didn't feel any better or wiser for it to be honest, was the same after as before! Why did I bother? lol
