I am sick of “modern” dating and have been for a decade.
Modern dating to me is an annoying game where you meet someone, you go on a first meet of drinks or coffee, you go on a second meet that may be something that is an actual outing. During the second outing, your “date” is trying to figure out how soon they can secure sex. They will try during your first proper outing. And if it isn’t on the first outing, the third “date” is some variation of Netflix and Chill. Rinse and repeat.
Or in modern dating, you may not even get to the outing before you get a d*ck pic or a solicitation for sex.
Actual dating where you meet, you get to know each other over a few outings, you figure out you are compatible, and you form a relationship based on your goals - that’s pretty fun.
Wow, the amount of scenarios like this are mounting. I am thinking if men are ballzy enough to do this...and frequently...I am guessing THEY think there are some women out there that desire casual sex?
All the love I have left is for people who have died.
Probably the coldest post in this thread. Ouch!
Quite true though. They gave me all the affection and acceptance I could have wanted while they were alive, so much so that I felt no need to look for those things from anyone else.
I to this day still don't understand how someone "looks" for a partner......it's strange.
This resonates with me. I do do OLD. It is fun for its own sake. I like people. I like dating. But I am not looking for The One, don't want or need a partner unless that person and our relationship is something I want to pursue.

There are plenty. Its easier to fine, BY FAR, than someone to have a relationship with. Heck, my partner was only looking for casual sex when we met (I didn't know that at the time), but it morphed into something else.
Dating is fun and interesting when you're YOUNG. Once you get past the Big Three-Oh, it's a glorified stepping stone to marriage. I'm 36 now. And what will my marriage be like? Same as lots of men's. Being screamed at over trivial crap like saying "good morning" in the wrong tone, having my entire shot glass collection thrown out, living as a prisoner in my own home because my wife isn't a fun-loving type, getting the silent treatment for 3 days for forgetting to buy milk on the way home, and sleeping on the couch for not giving the right answer to the "do I look fat?" question.
If that's a prize, then my name is Donald Trump.
I can't remember - have you been married? What's the longest term relationship you've been in? Or are you quoting friends you've had? Because you can MAKE the relationship you want - you don't have to passively accept behavior you don't like. Or you can just completely opt out - so you've made your "choice".
