What have you learned about yourself while dating? (woman, love, single)

[zackclough]

And has it helped you along the way?

I have learned that it isn't all about looks , the best looking people can also be the most rude so don't go for people just based on looks

I've learned that I'd rather be single.
I'm really not into horoscopes like that, but I'm an Aquarius and one trait that fits an Aquarius is "independence". We are independent people and we like to go at our own pace, we love our "ME" time and when we don't get that we sort of detach from others.

Porn is cheaper than dating.

That jealousy is the worst thing you can feel, and that I only feel that emotion when there's a woman in my life.

[SantisimaMuerte]

I've discovered my own boundaries, and that it's better to be alone than with someone who doesn't respect them. Currently alone

I've learned to keep multiple options open due to the flakiness of the current dating game. Don't put any weight into anyone and expect to be disappointed

[Inacitysomewhere]

Some of my needs. One being generosity. That surprised me. The other big one is patience.

Prostitutes are cheaper and less hassle than dating.

I don't think I'd want to experience the embarrassment of being arrested for paying some undercover cop acting as a prostitute to service my needs.

Well, I'd go somewhere it was legal first. Plus, DC, next door to me, is considering decriminalizing sex work. If that happens, I won't be a virgin anymore.
