A comment in another thread inspired this thread. The poster said that finding dates/casual sex is easy, but keeping/maintaining a relationship is hard. That seemed counter intuitive to me, as it seems like it would be easy to maintain a healthy relationship, (assuming both parties want a relationship) but it's difficult for me to find dates.
I have next to no experience with this kind of thing, as my longest relationship was somewhat long-distance, and we only met IRL for two dates. So, I'm curious about what your experiences are.
Do you agree with that poster, that dating is easy, but maintaining a relationship is difficult? Or, do you find dating difficult, but once you've found mutual interest, it's easy to keep the relationship healthy? Or, do you find it all to be difficult, or all pretty easy?
It depends on who you're seeing. The early part of most relationships is usually easy. Once you've been together a few months, the honeymoon stage starts to fade. If you're with a mentally healthy person, things might work out. If you're with a nut, then things might go haywire.
Some people struggle to find dates. For others it's easy.
Ive always had a woman in my life since my mid teens. I dont have a problem finding dates, or getting laid. However, I'm currently single, so its obvious, I'm not really good at keeping a woman .
Relationships do take work (nothing good in life comes without some efforts and sacrifice... ) but as someone mentioned "its worth it". Ive always cherished all my relationships in the past, good and bad. And Ive always considered myself blessed to have spent a part of my life with every woman Ive been with.
Loved shared is one of life's greatest pleasures.

Agreed.
I feel that way with everyone. Family, friends, acquaintances, dates I've been on, short term relationships, etc.
The path of least resistance, effort and hardship. I know its nooks and crannies all too well.
I like the simple life.
I put effort into taking care of myself, eating right, learning new things, working out and surrounding myself with good people.
I tend to feel a lot more than others. When I experience joy, it makes me want to sing and dance in the rain. When I experience sadness, it makes me want to cry in the rain, hoping to catch pneumonia and die. Detachment has been the best thing for me. It has also made me lose interest in dating.
But to answer the OP's question, dating around is a lot easier and more fun for me. Without trying to sound immature, you get to go out, meet new people, have a good time, and not deal with drama. The downside is when my dates want to have sex by date number 2 and get disappointed when I tell them I'm not ready yet. I figured it'd be better to just have friends. Actually happier this way. I have gone home from dates that just makes me cringe.
