I think if someone were to look at dating like a series of hoops you have to jump through in order to get ...whatever you are trying to get, it would get old and not fun.
But if you see it as a fun time and plan it with that in mind, it is fun for both.
I agree. Dating is supposed to be fun. When it's not fun, it's time to take a break.
However, in a way, I can see Robert's point. Some people look at dating as a means to an end, whether that end is a relationship, marriage, or sex. Given that men tend to be goal-oriented, I could see where they'd find it tedious after a while if their efforts didn't have any "results."
And let's be honest here, for a lot of them, "results" = "sex." Not saying that about Robert in particular, but that sometimes that is the case for men. I think if men look at dating as a means to that and they insist upon "quality" women, they're going to be sorely disappointed and most likely end up frustrated and fed up.
Some dates I've been on can give an impression you're being grilled for your qualities. It feels like you have to constantly sell yourself to remain interesting.
What are the women generally like? Are they professional types? Looking specifically to start families? Is there no natural flow of conversation, at all?

I agree with this and men aren't the only ones this happens to btw.
I really think men don't enjoy dating. But women do. For men, take out that wallet for an investigative foray into the world of possibilities. For women, the movie and chicken Cordon Bleu are certainties.
I never thought about this until I lived in Atlanta and was involved in my north end parish full of transplants. The CAP I love to complain about would take about guys and sneer "He doesn't date much," as if a put down. (Many put downs came out of her mouth, actually.)
I have always viewed dating of the "getting to know" variety as a pain in the ass. Going out with someone you already know is fine.
Men and women, what do you think?
I TRULY am glad that I'm not out dating....... I really mean it.......
If Mrs. Chow wises up and leaves me, I'd still not want to be out there......
I don't like the small talk.... it feels silly to me....

Of course women like dating, they hardly ever pay for anything! I think men look at dating as a necessary evil to get what they want.
