Kengne Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Who does this? So my bf & I broke up very recently, and I'm back on the market. I've been on a few dates already ( ) but I'm really trying to focus on school so I'm not *actively* looking for anything serious. I stress actively because the thing is, I've somehow been in rel'ships literally back to back from age 15 till now (I'm 23). Like clockwork around the 2-3 mth dating mark, I somehow gravitate into an exclusive rel'ship (always at the guys' urging - I've never initiated the 'let's make this official!' spiel). So now I am really, really trying to break a personal record here and stay single for as long as possible. I was talking to a few other girlfriends of mine, also single - and they're all on this new radical tip i.e. dating for the sake of dating. There is even a challenge going on to date anyone AND EVERYONE who asks us out on a date - the good, the bad AND the ugly. I have not yet accepted that challenge because 1) I am really picky and 2) I am just too cute for that mess - just kidding!! But seriously though, right now I am not mentally prepared to give any & everybody a chance. I'll think about it though, maybe...uhm... hm, uhm... NEXT year? Yeah next year... sometime, in the far far future... But ANYWAYS -> back to my question - who here dates, JUST for the sake of dating? I.e. NOT to get in a relationship, and NOT to get sexual with the other person? I mean dating, just going out one-on-one, with no end goal in mind - other than enjoying each other's company? Is it still done? Do feelings (emotional or sexual) always have to be involved? I know it sounds silly - but I can't think of one person I know that dates just to date, without some ulterior agenda or motive. Some of my friends have dated and wound up in relationships. Some don't date at all. And of course, others simply have booty calls / FWBs (which doesn't count as dating IMO, and is not what I'm referring to). Call me crazy, but who here dates just to date? Holla if ya hear me! K.

As a guy, I almost never ask a girl on a date unless I'm interested in taking it further. However, I will date a girl that asks me out that I'm not crazy over just to see what happens.
