At what age did you stop "having fun" and look for serious long term relationships? (dating, boyfriend)

[techcrium]

I hear lots of people complain about other gender having lack of commitment or just want a quickie or stuff like that.

So at what age do you stop having fun and look for potential marriage material?

[Slanderous]

25 years, 245 days, 12 hours and 15 minutes.

It's always about having fun. If dating isn't fun, then I won't do it.

I am 23. I never wanted hook ups. In school I wanted a boyfriend, but sex wasn't on my mind.

Now, I would still like to have a serious boyfriend whom I am attracted to, personality-wise and physically. But, still not into casual sex and flings. They don't seem rewarding.

Never been into casual sex or hook ups.

Whenever I liked someone I always wanted a relationship. I am 21. I would like companionship and something truly genuine. All I really want is someone where there is mutual attraction on both sides. I am an emotional person and I already know if I sleep with someone I would get attached and it's pointless. At least for me it is.

I never stopped having fun... and have been married 33 years.
If a relationship is not fun, it's not worth having!

If dating is about having fun, then why do so many women get frustrated at Online Dating?

You meet a random guy, maybe he doesn't live up to your expectations...then who cares? It's about meeting new people and having fun.

Yet I see tons and tons of women "complaining" about online dating. As if they are not having fun at all and trying to find "the one"

They're not having fun. Simple enough.

What Timber said. I never had "fun" with online dating. It was always tedious and part of the reason I stopped doing it a while back. I've said it before but I met a lot of jerks and crazy men (and they aren't fun... and I don't mean the fun kind of crazy). Online dating works for some, but I think I am just not suited for it. I have had fun dating though recently (just not online dating).
