misssmartypants Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 So I just broke up with the guy I've been dating for about two months. Before that I spend a year in an on and off relationship with a guy who I fell hard for, but he wanted to keep things very casual. I think I need a dating/romance "break", but I am finding that I kinda like that feeling of being "on the look out" and the glancing, flirting, calling, texting of it all. Anyone have any thoughts on the idea of taking a dating break? Anyone else really enjoy the act of looking and miss it when the aren't "in the market"? Thoughts in general?
HappyPanda Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Im currently in a very happy relationship, but prior to that, I was single for about a year and a half... and it was one of the happiest times of my life. I went out a lot, made new friends, traveled, took some classes, and overall focused on myself.... I also did my fair share of flirting and innocent dating And of course, I had pangs of loneliness, and wishing I had some one to share things with... BUt I wouldnt take it back for anything. I feel as though its made me a much more confident, secure, and content woman... which are some of the things my boyfriend has told me he admires most about me. I think its important that every person take at least a year of their adult life to just focus on themselves, completely. So my opinion is Hell Yeah! Do you Plus, it makes finding someone to share your already amazing life with, that much more awesome

Thoughts in general? yeah, i'm taking a break myself. last one flaked on me after a couple months (after i agreed to her suggestions she disappears, i assume because she expected no and got yes, wtf?), one before that i found was messing around with her grey beard boss at work, so after dealing with crazy x2 back to back over a span of three months i'm sorta burnt out. my dad is trying to fix me up with a long time friend's daughter, but it'd be long distance so dunno about that. i still check the internet (not paying for any of them, but i use OKC), but unless i'm highly impressed by obvious compatible interests, i'm not really bothering for a couple of months, i think. have you tried the dating websites at all? even if you don't find relationships, they're a pretty good way to find non-relationship friendships when you don't care to look for anything more serious.
