| Do you ever just get tired of dating?
Posted: 3/27/2007 12:43:19 PM | That gave me a chuckle OldSchoolQueen - I guess it did come back to bite us ... but I was not one of the causes I was married all that time.
I guess I am just too ....................... OldSchool :) | |

Posted: 3/27/2007 1:02:29 PM | | Sure, I think everyone gets tired of dating now and then. Whenever it starts to become monotonous, I just take a break, and spend my time doing things for myself, hanging out with friends, or catching up on things I put on the back burner. No one said you HAVE to date, so if you don't feel like it, don't. | |

Posted: 3/27/2007 1:20:36 PM | Yes.. I hate dating.. all the Uptightness, wondering, and uncertainty .
Oh how appropriate an Eharmony commercial just came on the tv as I was typing this. | |

E Harmony wrote me and said they had no match and never would in the forseeable future..lol Ofcourse I didn't pay so it's a canned response.

Posted: 3/27/2007 1:38:14 PM | I guess it might be good to define 'dating' before deciding if you are tired of it. Some people date to find their soulmate and settle down into marriage or a LTR, while others just date for the sociability with no pressures attached. I can see how a fruitless search for a mate can wear one down over time and cause discouragement. On the other hand, I will never get tired of chatting with a nice man or watching movies with him or laughing or attending festivals or art shows with him.
I hope that marriage is somewhere in my future, but when I decided to start dating it was just to enjoy evenings out, good food, and good conversation. I'm not actively looking for a husband but if he finds me along the way, I'm not gonna argue with him if I love him back. :) Meanwhile, I want to meet interesting men and learn interesting things and go interesting places. | |

Posted: 3/27/2007 1:42:20 PM | | I have to agree on this one. I haven't dated in a few weeks now, by choice. I mean yeah, I know the whole maybe you could be friends if it isn't a romantic connection thing, BUT I don't date to find friends. Call me quirky. I date because I am an adult woman, who would enjoy finding a partner to share life with. Married from the first date?..NO, but someone that is interested in getting there at some point. Lately it seems like I haven't had bad dates, just numb dates. Haven't really felt anything , and that's getting old fast. I want a spark, just sick of all the work it takes looking for one, when it never seems to happen. As so many have already said the job interview thing, then the "After Date Wait" which we all dread, waiting for him to call. Unfortunately dating is the only way of finding a partner...I just wish it wasn't THIS difficult...lol. Hopefully, when I start dating again, I'll find someone that's serious. | |

| Do you ever just get tired of dating?
Posted: 3/27/2007 1:55:00 PM | I have been single over 5 years. In all that time I have NEVER met a man who was looking to actually date. They have been looking for a bit on the side, a friend with benefits, a casual encounter or a booty call PERIOD.
Am I tired of dating? Hell no. I haven't had any.
Am I tired of guys assuming I am desperate for a good fvck? Hell yes!
Am I done with online men and their concept of "dating". Hell yes! | |

Posted: 3/27/2007 2:00:02 PM | I was just talking to a friend about being tired of dating. I don't go out with a guy, just because I want to go out..........I can do that with my girlfriends. I like to talk to him online, and on the phone a little first and see if there is some kind of connection. Then we can see about meeting. But, as time goes by, it seems to just get harder.....thinking is this going to be "the one"....
BTW Dusty, you are a very nice looking gentleman and wish I could find someone that had your values that lived near me.
Good Luck to you.... | |

Posted: 3/27/2007 2:07:13 PM | This day and age dating is a hard thing to do. It was so easy when I was younger..LOL
I kinda get tired of repeating myself all over again...... But,hey that is part of life I guess. | |

Posted: 3/27/2007 2:13:46 PM | Ron9 says "Sex use to be kind of fun. I use to have to “heat them up” some. Not anymore - a guy can be talking about mowing the lawn and she just takes her cloths off".
Way to funny!

| Do you ever just get tired of dating?
Posted: 3/27/2007 2:14:28 PM | | At this point in my life, I know who I am and who I'm compatible with. So I don't date unless I really feel we have something in common and there is a connection, which is extremely rare. It's been my luck that I've made good choices. When I have gone out with someone, we have hit it off and ended up in a relationship. They have been few, and far between, but I would rather do it that way than be a serial dater. I would rather sit home by myself than be out with someone, only to wish I was home. | |

"Here I stand, the goddess of Desire,
set men on fire,
I have this power,
morning noon and night it's drink and dancing,
some quick romancing,
and then a quick shower,
stage door johnnies always surround me,
they always hound me,
with one request,
who can satisfy their lustful habits,
I'm not a rabbit!
I need some rest!
I'm tired,
sick and tired of love,
I've had my fill of love,
from below and above,
tired,
tired of being admired,
tired of love uninspired,
let's face it,
I'm tired!
I've been with 1000's of men,
again and again,
they promise the moon,
they always coming and going,
going and coming,
and always too soon!
Right girls?
I'm tired,
tired of playing the game,
ain't it a crying shame?
I'm so tired,
God dammit I'm tired!
Hello cowboy, what's your name?
Tex 'mam
Tex 'mam ? Tell me Tex'mam, are you in show business?
No
We'll then why don't you get your freaking feet off here
La ha
Ah ha he hu...
Hello handsome, is that a 10 gallon hat? Or are you just enjoying the show?
Ah ha ah...
Oh miss lilly, oh my laby, oh my **** cat, put it there baby, put it... ohhhhh
I'm tired,
tired of playing the game,
ain't it a crying shame,
I'm so tired
[soldiers:]
she's tired
-she's tired
sick and tired of love
-give her a break
she's had her fill of love
-she's not a snake
from bellow and above
-can't you see she's sick?
tired
-she's bushed
tired of being admired
-let her alone
tired of love uninspired
-get off the phone
she's tired
-don't you know she's pooped?
I've been with 1000's of men,
again and again,
they sing the same toon,
the start with Byron and Shelly,
and jump on your belly,
and bust your ballon!
aye!
tired,
tired of playing the game,
ain't it a freakin shame,
I'm so...
let's face it,
everything below the waste is kaput! "
- Lili Von Shtupp, Blazing Saddles
lyrics - Mel Brooks
I'm soo tired. | |

Posted: 3/27/2007 2:44:01 PM | [After being married most of my life - I tried the dating “stuff” and ran right into the - “sex is just part of a date” crap. Three gals of that thinking right in a row - I just stopped. I was just another pecker in a sea of peckers ........ no thanks.]-ron9
OMG!!
I had no idea that there were women like that, as well. Yuck!
Makes you wonder where all the good ones went, doesn't it?!
BTW ron9, it's nice to see a nice guy with standards.
Well, there are still some good ones out there, I found mine & you will, too. Someday.
Never give up!   | |

Posted: 3/27/2007 3:04:48 PM | I guess it might be good to define 'dating' before deciding if you are tired of it.
I am in full agreement with you, kate! If I were to view a get-together with every male as a 'date', I'd have ulcers! I do not put high expectations on these times. I wish others didn't either because I feel that I've missed out on some very good acquaintances or even friends - or - perhaps more! It seems that if the 'chemistry' isn't immediately there, they never call again. I find this unfortunate as I have learned that a successful relationship takes time. | |

Posted: 3/27/2007 3:48:23 PM | | as for defining dating.............. each person has something different that they are looking for, be it long term, short term, etc. so therefore each person has a different definition of dating. for me the definition of dating is to find the one and there is no other purpose for me other than that. come on, it's too much effort and anxiety just for making new friends! i have lots of friends and sure could use more but that's not what i want from dating... so if you are tired of dating such as i am it is probably from your own expectations not being met and it gets tiring from time to time so it is probably good to take a break............ | |

Posted: 3/27/2007 4:29:26 PM | Well dusty, i'm with you, an average looking , single, over 50 women and divorced for 8 yrs.
I have also had 1 yr relationships...then things just don't progress ..or feel right. And like you I do believe that having a very special person in your life is the utlimate goal here. As for if they are your soulmate or just at the same place in their life as you are and it just clicks !
I read your profile, before I wrote this and you do have the right idea!. But the million dollar question is finding that one person that wants all those things also, and is actually ready emotionally.
I'm tried of trying also ...or maybe just need a break lol.
It's hard to keep up hope that, but then other than seeking people on here the choices are Bars, Church or the grocery store lolo.
But all puns aside ...I know what your looking for and what you mean about the love that your parents have. It is something special. Guess it might have something to do with the midwestern values ..i'm orignally from Michigan :) Or not, might just be we are at the same place in our lifes.
Guess my only advise is don't give up ....but be more selective and if your not dating ...don't worry about it . They say when we stop looking, love will find us :)
Hope that is true ! | |

| Do you ever just get tired of dating?
Posted: 3/27/2007 5:01:03 PM | ahh I knew I wasn't the only one thinking this.
I agree Midwest values are much different than east, west coasts..even the south..
I think most of the folks, not all, missed the point..you hit it dead center darlin.
I didn't date for 8 months, one whole winter and my family and friends kept saying..are you ok? what's wrong etc..
I've never been one to "pick up" girls. now my older brother was a pro at that..he was built, good looking and well educated...
Dating is easy..sex even easier..but if you choose not to..everyone surmises you are having problems. ..If I go to a bar..it's to play pool, darts etc.
It's just that dating has changed so much in the last 5 years..
I even got asked, where do I work? how much I make, what do I drive etc..
I guess I want a partner..one I don't have to entertain constantly, who likes a hug and kiss at night, who adds to my life not changes it..
a real dream I know but hey..I like dreamin...dreamin can set you free...
thanks,
dusty | |

My sentiments exactly. The whole scene of searching endlessly is quite boring and sometimes feels hopeless. Many times I wish I could be satisfied with less, but that isn't going to happen. | |

Posted: 3/27/2007 6:48:38 PM | I definitely understand where you are coming from Dusty. It is like the perpetual re-run!
You agree to meet someone online.. then when you meet, it just isn't there for you. They don't look like their pic, their in person qualities/character are totally different etc. You drive home thinking.. dang, I took the time and energy to get ready for another dead end.
Or you meet someone while you are out and about, already know the chemistry/attraction is there. You end up dating them for months or longer.. are totally comfortable with each other, established intimacy etc. Then wham, something happens that ends it. Then you have to start all over again.
I guess the part I don't enjoy, is having to get to know someone new all over again. | |
