What about when it leads to heartbreak after dating a while for either party? I'm not just talking about casual fun dating.
Heartbreak? I've been divorced and lost a parent, 2 jobs and a child. I can handle a breakup after "dating awhile." It's all about how you frame it. I'm not going to go all in emotionally unless it is clearly a long term commitment that both are going to work on. And if problems come up, as a couple, we'll seek help to change whatever needs changing. If things don;t work out, we've all learned something.
Are you sure you are prepared for adulthood, middle age and late life? Because it's no picnic! You have to toughen up.
You know, the common denominator in all these bad dating experiences has been you.
I don't know. Maybe it's the kind of girls you ask out. How you approach them. How you interact with them. But if you, or anyone else on this thread sharing this problem, can't seem to find someone with whom you click, really reconsider. Things to consider:
1) It's better not going out than going out with someone you don't have any strong feelings for.
2) All you're doing is trying people on for size.
3) If you keep having the same flame-out, then perhaps you're a) pushing too hard or b) keep dating the same basic person over and over again.
I never dated with the specific intention that I was hoping each person might be "the one."
I was selective about who I dated because I didn't enjoy being tied down by politeness to sit and talk to someone who's company I do not enjoy.
That said, I tried to enjoy each person for who they were. Some might be a passing fling, some might turn into a friend. It was an enjoyable activity.

I hate 'dating' if the spark or intense physical attraction isn't there. That's when it feels like an interview for me. I'd much just rather find the 1 and never have to do it again
