Has Dating Ruined You? Self Analysis

Yes, dating ruined me. I am now a totally closed off, self centered, snotty, disgusting person who has given up on life and love..... woe is me, woe is me.

Srsly, dating is dating. Being a wuss in dating is a ruination in the process.

Interesting thread OP.

~OT~ I don't believe it's the dating that has changed me, it was a failed marriage that lead to dating that did the most profound things in my life. I am constantly evolving. So much, in fact, that I have not dated nor am I wanting to date. It's not fair to someone else to date someone they won't know in a week. The whole "the world is your oyster" thing comes to mind. I just can't seem to break away from the peace of heart/mind/soul that has come to me while being without a man in my life. I bask in my aloneness. I've had one truly lonely day in three years. I guess that must mean that being entirely alone doesn't bother me.

And, I do think that one too many failed relationships finally sank in. Why do it again? I thought I had picked wonderful men to date or embark on a ltr with. The only thing those relationships had in common: Me. Until I decide if I'm wanting something or not, it wouldn't be fair to someone else. I do wish others well in their search, it's just no my deal.

I will say that internet dating has made me reanalize myself and how I act. All my experiences with men off this site have been disasters. Every single one. Either the guys were flaky and didn't show much interest, they were only interested in having sex, or they just didn't have enough in common. So far in the year plus I've been on here there is only one guy I talk to regularly, but nothing romantic will come of our knowing each other because I'm too young and not good looking enough for him. Sad how life works, but oh well his loss right? If he wants to let a great girl go because her age doesn't match his and she doesn't look a certain way then he is losing out. I've realized that I need to stop putting so much importance on looks as well. After being rejected by EVERY GUY I EMAIL(no joking) I told myself that I was going to get back up, dust myself off and keep trying. Also I decided to start replying to every email I get. If a guy emails me and wants to have coffee with me, I'm not going to go to his profile, look at his pictures and make my decision. I'm going to actually go read about him and then decide if I want to pursue anything. I can only control me and how I react to different situations, so when on here I treat people exactly how I want to be treated. I have a great deal of patience, but not too much tolerance. Whenever a guy rejects me I just wish him luck and carry on. People shouldn't be so hurt when guys turn them down on these sites. Would you want someone who doesn't want you? I know I wouldn't. So you send 10 emails and no one responds? Just 10 guys you can cross off your list!

Dating has not ruined me -NO WAY! - Meeting people is great. I enjoy talking with people & learning about them. That always adds a new layer to my life.

What has messed me up is BUSINESS - I bring business partners into studios to meet with artists & producers(trusting them) and they create a scene.

I know what you mean, sometimes you think you know someone... ARGH!
