I remember the exact year the fun of dating stopped for me and became as mentioned a, chore. 2006. I would actually sit and contemplate whether I really wanted to invest the time it took to do the pre primping to get ready or stay home and watch a DVD, at that point often calling off the date to watch the DVD instead. I know, sad huh. LOL. At least by then I was much older than most of you and had enough fun dating out of my system to last a life time.
There's nothing sad about it in my opinion. Who said you had to be a social butterfly?
I really try to enjoy dating, but I'm tired of a guy expecting sex if he pays for the food, or pays for the activity we may be doing. Sometimes I pay my own way and dudes STILL act as if I should be willing to spread my legs for them; as if their time is more valuable than mine. Most guys have the mentality that if sex isn't going to take place, after the date, they won't even bother dating. I've about given up on dates with males. I'll say I go on a date with myself, or I'll go on a date with my friends. What is dating anyway but spending time with someone else?
Very true. I actually had a girl that I met on Match say to me "I don't date for fun" (first on the phone, then again when we met). She had such a business-like approach to the whole thing that was definitely a turn-off.
Then, what does she date for?
I mean really, if you don't see dating as something fun (or that's supposed to be fun), then why even bother?
I'm actually not joking, at least when it comes to traditional Asian cultures. In such families, selecting the partner to your children, sons especially, is extremely serious business. They don't have concepts of dating or romance in the Western sense. Romance comes later, if at all. Financial stability, good family background, good moral quality, all of this comes before that.
As for a Westernized women, I can't imagine why they, would all the freedom available to them, would not want dating to be fun.

Exactly!I gave up in '97 at age 26.I never really enjoyed dating and realized,if I never wanted to get married(a possible end result of dating) why do I do this? There is no point.But even in h.s. I didn't really enjoy it because one false move and it was all over the school the next day.
