| Taking a break from Dating
Posted: 4/25/2011 10:13:13 PM |  I am taking a break from dating because I have encountered too many bad dates or too many dates that are not considerate of my feelings. I thought being single was miserable but then I realized dating is a pain in the butt | |

Posted: 4/26/2011 6:42:55 PM | | I am and have already hidden my profile, but only to work on improving myself some more. I'll most likely be back sometime next year if I don't try another site first. Good luck everyone. | |

Posted: 4/30/2011 12:06:42 AM | My own break has been extended... I'm doing well with the personal issues I wanted to work on and would otherwise be nearly ready, I think, but my mom's lung cancer diagnosis and chemo treatments are still too new - and too time-consuming, for me - for me to consider embarking on anything romantic at this time.
It looks like her cancer may be stabilizing into a chronic condition, with ongoing treatment, which will make a big difference, but as the only driver in the family besides her, a lot naturally falls on my shoulders. And that stabilization isn't a sure thing yet.
So my profile remains hidden, and I remain grateful for the distraction of the forums! | |

Posted: 5/15/2011 12:06:41 PM | | I'm taking another break. .again! I'm really just fed up with it. .especially with the flaky men I've been encountering. As in, numbers are exchanged, they say "Let's meet up." Then I suggest a day to meet, one of them cancels, and then the other one never responds back. Who knows how long this break will be. .maybe sometime next year. | |

Posted: 5/15/2011 3:06:51 PM | | Taking a break from dating can be great and much needed. Focus on other things. Clear your head from the frustrations that can come with dating. | |

Posted: 5/16/2011 6:38:56 PM | Yes. Make room for the frustrations that come from not dating.
I won't be frustrated from not dating when I'm not interested in dating at a particular moment. I will be concentrating on other things that are going on in my life. | |

Posted: 5/19/2011 4:02:18 PM | | I've taken breaks from dating in the past and I think I'm due for another very soon. It gives me a chance to travel and visit family/friends, take some classes, relax and have some me time. It's also a good way to forget the bad dating experiences and put myself in a more positive state of mind. | |

gun range
long camping trip
summer off to motorcycle ride
hell get deployed again
it will be the same as it ever was when you come back. might as well have some fun.
There seems to be an inordinate amount of girls out scuba diving and visiting the Chinese wall, Tibetian Temples, Egyptian Pyramids, hell even Cabo.
Take a break GO some where, get out of the grind, opt out of the game. It wont miss you one wit. | |

Posted: 12/12/2011 11:58:58 PM | | Definitely am takinga break from dating. . for at least 4-6 months, maybe longer. Taking a much needed break from the dating frustrations of this year, have hidden my profile here, as well as another dating website, just here for the forums. Already feel better after having hidden the profiles. .going to work on other areas of my life. It's so true that I won't miss the game at all. . . | |

Posted: 3/9/2012 2:16:11 PM | I'm taking a break from dating as well (sex included)...going to focus on my education and career (things that are more important and I have more control over). I'm sick of going on a bunch of first dates with useless people - dating has lost its fun and excitement. It's just tedious and like a love connection interview disappointment  | |

Posted: 3/9/2012 5:10:41 PM | | I hid my POF profile back in January, when I decided that I want to move away from this area later this year and therefore am no longer interested in meeting any of the locals. Relocating takes a lot of planning and work if done right, so I'm concentrating on that (and my family) and leaving dating for the future. | |

Posted: 3/9/2012 11:11:25 PM | I am taking a break right now. My last relationship ended in early December. How did March get here so quickly? My profile has been hidden for well over a year. I don't know if I am taking a break because I am scared of getting burned again or if I still just need more time to heal. Either way, I know I'm out of the game for a little longer.
I have been going to these meet-up things lately and each event I go to, I hope that nobody asks me for my phone number, which is pretty weird. I have actually avoided the pub visits afterwards for the same reason. The thing is, I miss the activity and socializing part of dating (which is why I am doing the meetup groups) but not the romance. | |

Posted: 7/22/2012 7:48:11 AM | I am also taking a break. I have so many things I want to focus on and a relationship isn't one.
I work full-time and go to school. I need to make sure that's where my attention is.
I think, for me, I thought I wanted a relationship. But then I had to sit back and really think it over. I realized that, right now, I do not. I'm not in a place where I want to go on dates, see if it works, blah blah blah. So to be fair to myself and anyone who may ask me out, I'm walking away from it for a bit.
I don't know how long this break will be. I'm not putting a timeline on it. I just figure, I'll know when I'm ready. And until then, I'm not dating. | |
