devinefaith Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I gave myself a break from dating until I got myself together now I'm trying to date again and it kinda sucks. The dating world can be disappointing at times I think I want to take another break. Lol
gebaird Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Nothing tests your patience like returning to the dating world! Just remember it's a numbers game. Every failure brings you closer to success.
Matt3939 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Ive been dreading it myself. Oh well it's a necessary evil. I'm lowering my standards so it's not such a disappointment. I require they drive a car. That means there mobile and can fit into a vehicle. I hear people are getting fused to toilets these days. Speaking English isn't mandatory or hearing or seeing. They must be 5 years within my age range either up or down. They can be missing up to 3 body parts either thru birth accident or surgery. They must work everyone should know the value of a dollar. I do however demand they play the ukulele.
DancingFool Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 All I'm going to say is don't take a break for so long that you become so lonely that that itself becomes a liability in the choices you are making and expectations you have. Basically, staying on a break for too long can end up landing you in another bad relationship because your desire for companionship and love trumps your patience to weed out all the bad options for you.

moodindigo91 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Dating is exhausting and can be very depressing if you are sensitive and let rejection really get to you! They key is to realize that rejection doesn't necessarily mean that there is anything wrong with you, it's not even really a bad thing. It just means that whoever you were seeing decided that they were looking for something else. You'll find a few people who are looking for someone just like you, but maybe you are looking for something else and so you'll reject them. It's a viscous cycle. Bounce back after each bad date, and prepare yourself for an exciting new one! The biggest issue with dating these days is that no one really dates anymore, they just sleep with each other and get themselves into a situationship. Avoid situationships like the plague and you'll be fine
Wiseman2 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 What happened? First date horror or ghosted?Sick of it myself The last guy I've dated disappointed me big time!
Jane77 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I felt like that too, well still not ready for dates, but I'm all on those dating sites. Just talking on a local one sanantonio.partyline.com, helps me to slowly get back in the game.
cristal Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I have dated several men this year....all online dates. Some have ghosted when they realized that they could not use me for sex. Another one refused to pay for dinner....after he suggested we split dinner and he then left me to pay the bill. My worst dinner experience. I am giving up on online dating so that my heart can heal and this is after a string of disappointments. My plan is to start trying people in the real world. Maybe I will have better luck.
devinefaith Posted August 30, 2016 Author Posted August 30, 2016 Thanks it helps knowing I'm not alone in this crazy thing called life. I'm really working on myself and moving forward but looking whats out in the dating pool makes me want to throw up sometimes. Its like whay happened to good old fashioned courting and romance. But what's out there can't be any worst than what I've dealt with lol. Positive thinking from now on .
