You have to date a lot of people and learn from your mistakes and theirs.

Some people have little to no standards and will jump from relationship to relationship because they're afraid to be alone.

I have plenty of girlfriends and guy friends that are never single for more than a few days in between short-ish relationships (2-6 months) because they just jump right in without actually getting to know the person first.

I'd rather be single than jump from man to man.

There's a lot of truth in this.

I always dated, but I went a long time between outright relationships. Why? Because I would have much rather been selective than just cling to the first girl who laughed at my jokes.

I think this is what a lot of people misunderstand. I haven't had an actual relationship in a year and a half, but I date pretty consistently. Most people don't understand the difference.

It's true, some people have a super easy time finding a mate and other struggle. There's like no in between!
