So far my new habit breaking has gone well, I've been so busy with a lot of new things in my life that dating hasn't been on the brain too much. My goal of breaking my desire to want to date 100% completely is going to be a work in progress but I just have to maintain self control.

That being said, I almost asked a girl last night to have a drink with me or even thought about throwing her my business card (that has my personal cell number on it) and telling her to give me a holler sometime. I did stop myself, but the initial desire to make a move was still there. I will no longer make effort or first moves. If a girl were to ask me out or something I'd be totally game, but let's be realistic: that almost never happens.

Anyway, just keeping you all up to date since someone requested I keep updating my situation. Best of luck to those who are pursuing or trying to improve their relationships!

That sounds like a really stupid policy. I predict many lonely nights for you.

What is this? Self-abuse therapy?

That, plus women typically want men to be the pursuers. I know that apparently, on this forum, many say otherwise, but from my personal experience and that of the women I have known, they don't want to make the first moves.

Just because you alone or choose not to date does not mean you are lonely. Some of us are happy NOT being in relationships.

I'll approach a man, ask him for his number, set up a date. No biggie, but I'm probably not approaching the type that refuses to approach (typical feminine behavior).

Unless the men in question are short, ugly, or girly. Then it's EEEEEEEEEEWWWWW... creepy!

Good work, Chi-turtle. Don't give in to the lunacy that is dating.

We 'creepy' losers need more women like you.
