irc333 Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 I was wondering, with so many people incessant on not dating people in the same workplcace, college campus, EVEN Meetups and other social venues where you're consistently seeing each other on a routine basis....are we really just screwing ourselves over because we tend to think, "If it doesn't work out, we would see each other again and it would be awkward." Isn't this truly a bad idea to go around with this attitude? "Dating with break-up in mind?" Apparently, online dating has eliminated that, you go see each other for lunch/dinner, and if you don't want to see each other again...you're a cyber-fart in the wind if one of you don't want to see each other again. But really, why short change yourself by eliminating means of dating someone the old-fashioned way just because "Well, if we break up it might be awkward afterwards if we see each other on the same hikes or biking events again". But like I said, those with this attitude , it's really all about the attitude. Going into it with failure in mind, yes?
iris219 Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Most people are NOT opposed to dating people they meet in school, at work, or at social gatherings. That's where people meet. If they say are opposed to it, it's because there are men or women they are interested in. I guarantee if they meet someone worth it, they wouldn't be thinking about a breakup. 2
Untouched Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Most people that date do not end up together forever, right? People date a lot of different people before deciding on one to marry. To be honest I have little experience with this idea because the way I was raised a person ONLY courts with the serious intention to marry, but I see it differently now. I dated a man who works at my college (only one date really) and now we are not going to date again. I am NOT Looking forward to seeing him at school, I am actually dreading it. Next time I am NOT going out with someone who I interact with in everyday life.

What's the proximity? I was wondering because if you were in the same room near each other, that's one thing, but you have the option of not going into the same building as him, I don't see the big deal.

It can also be a polite, socially convenient way to decline a request when you aren't interested in someone, and don't want to create any immediate awkwardness. Blame it on circumstances. 1
