treehugger101 Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Have any of you ever dated someone then if things didn't work out, you swore off dating ever again and never did?
madjac74 Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Have any of you ever dated someone then if things didn't work out, you swore off dating ever again and never did? Wouldn't we have to be dead to answer this? 1
Author treehugger101 Posted August 23, 2015 Author Posted August 23, 2015 No, its like if your in your 20s or 30s and swore off dating at that point and never date ever again. Remaining single until your dead lol.
johndoe2 Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 If I should someday be castrated, then I likely would. Otherwise, no; however much frustration dating has given and continues to give me, I am compelled by my nature to continue pushing the boulder up the hill no matter how many times it rolls back down. I likely will still be single till I'm dead, but, again, short of castration, I don't think I will ever simply be content with it. I've just read too much Norse mythology to believe even imminent defeat is grounds for surrender.
Eternal Sunshine Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 My aunt married someone who she found in bed with his step-mother in the first year of marriage. After they divorced, she never went on a date again until the day she died (some 30 years later). I have to actively try to get out there and date (via OLD or increased social activity) or I simply don't date for years. My default is to enjoy life alone doing solitary activities. I have a full schedule for the rest of 2015 so I gave myself a permission to not do OLD or anything dating related for the rest of the year. I am soooo looking forward to it
madjac74 Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 No, its like if your in your 20s or 30s and swore off dating at that point and never date ever again. Remaining single until your dead lol. As in being in your 40's?? lol! The weird thing is that I came to the point where I was ok just being single and focusing on my kids and then I met my current girlfriend. It sort of pissed me off 1
lino Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 If my girl ever cheats on me or leaves for an asinine reason I doubt I will bother trying to find another. Probably go the sugar baby route with a really young and sexy girl. Went through a lot of garbage to get to this point and won't do it again if this one fails because of her... Dating and courting Women is a headache and 99.9% of them simply aren't worth it.
Gaeta Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Nah! why would you put so much importance on something like dating anyway? If someone goes through a really bad divorce I could understand he says he'll never marry again but no more dating again? No matter what can happen in your dating life it cannot be THAT traumatic.
casey.lives Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Im not dating because i have no control over my life and i don't have the privacy i need to be affectionate/open and because i don't have anything to "offer" anyone because i found that people always want something from you. Love is not enough..
cessna Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 I gave up dating and I'm finding the longer I go without being with a woman the easier it gets. I had enough of the bull**** that came with trying to find someone, it just wasn't worth it. Will I ever be with another woman? Maybe, I don't know. I do know that I won't be trying, though.
KatZee Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 I'm at that point now. I'm going to be 31, I've never even been close to being in love, dating has been an absolute disaster. Couple the Vanity Fair article about online dating and the new "hookup culture" and the Ashley Madison scandal with 36 MILLION member profiles seeking to cheating on their partners (90-95% of the profiles being male) and I am just DONE. I was optimistic for a long time, thinking that eventually something great had to come my way, but the rise of the lazy male, the "ghosting" epidemic, the fact that online sites make it way too easy to cheat, and too tempting to stick to just ONE person, dating is really a disaster and I've come to find that dating just isn't worth the negative feelings and emotions that inevitably come with it these days. I'm far happier being alone, pursuing my goals and just being free to come and go as I please. No drama, no sadness, no let downs. 1
carhill Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Dated, then swore off dating? Nah. Married, divorced, then swore off dating? Different kettle of fish and going on five years of never. Yup. Nothing against exW but rather the whole dynamic. Hard to predict the future though.
sportygirl89 Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 My ex left me in my early 20s when I was sick. I was crushed. I had one hook up after that and tried to go on dates and briefly dated someone for a month. It was a disaster. Even the good couples are not lasting. Really no point in dating until God puts someone in your life IMO.
Jj66 Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Dating is lots of fun. Why would I give it up? It's falling in love that I have foresworn forever.
d0nnivain Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Like everybody I have had my share of heartbreaks. To say that you would never date again is cutting your nose of despite your face. Dating can be fun. Falling in love is glorious. Yes, getting your heart broken is devastating but to give up altogether is not the solution.
