| Do you ever just get tired of dating?
Posted: 3/27/2007 7:46:28 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.
I'm glad I've grown from the above frame. I prefer to expand my horizons.
hero? Talk, rant, do what you need to. I'm sorry, very sorry that you have to go though it....... yet, I wish that you make it an experience that you learn from. | |

Posted: 3/27/2007 7:46:44 PM | | You got that right. Sounds REAL familiar. I even sent thank you messages with no responce back. Thinking of giving up for awhile myself. | |

Posted: 3/27/2007 8:19:32 PM | I swear we could probably make some really good full length comedies from all of this. For anyone out there that has become exhausted from it, ever had this happen? Your get completely exhausted and just about the time you say that's it, something happens and you meet someone and then try to continue dating? I've found that when I get to the point of being exhausted, I'd rather take a break because I might actually meet someone who would be great but because I was exhausted with the whole process, it was in fact me that blew it. So if you feel like you need a break take one. While on your break, contemplating how bad it is, I recommend this movie to get a good  ,  ,  , and  . It might be hard to find as a rental. Made back in 1989 by Blake Edwards...nope not "Ten" with Dudley Moore (RIP Dudley we miss you). The movie is Called Skin Deep.
John Ritter portrays a womanizing, drunken, alcholic writer who's life seems to be falling apart at the seams. He's still in love with his ex-wife(who's family can't stand him), writer's block is keeping him from completing his latest novel, and he repeatedily finds himself in trouble of one sort or another with the law, ex-girlfriends, and jealous boyfriends.
If I said anything more I would be runing some absolutely hilarious scenes...I am serious though about the we should make some movies out of our bad dates. I used to be a voracious writer and am returning to it as it was something I really enjoyed doing.
Cheers

that's interesting.....and do you use just an ordinary, run of the mill lawn mower?
o.t.
The great dates make up for all the not so great one's....not tired of 'em yet....but , I get tired of typing and chatting. | |

Posted: 3/27/2007 9:35:59 PM | Well, I think it's all about approach. It's really a rare event for me to have a bad time no matter what I'm doing. If a guy ditches me at a club, I end up being friends with the bartender or waitress. If the guy's a jerk, I order another round and tell him so. If he stays, I get him laughing about how he blew it and tell him how to do better next time. If a guy does something embarassing, I just laugh and say, "man, that was really missed up." then I apologize to whomever might be offended and roll my eyes saying, "internet date" loudly. Maybe the guy two tables over laughs too and wants to have a drink once the bad date leaves.
Yeah, it can be tiresome, but not boring. Everybody out there is looking for something, and we are all just people doing the best we can with what we are. Humans have more in common with each other than they know. It's interesting, even if it goes badly. You just have to learn not to take it so personal, try to have a good time, and roll with the punches. Oh yeah, and always remember, the next one could be IT!!! | |

I do get tired of internet searching and endless cyberchat, but that is how connections can be made. There are not very many gentlemen in my area that date through the internet - mostly city fellows. So I kind of am ready to give up - seems all the great guys I meet here live too far away to actually meet ...... and the ones I have met didn't work out.
Ron9 I did not look to see where you live, but I would like to go out with a man who did NOT think that sex is just part of dating. Not for me it isn't. Fantastic part of life? YES YES YES, but I'd really like to know a man for more than 3 hours before he starts with the cute butt chatter - I find myself getting embarrassed for him and bored and annoyed.
The forums and the great people who share on them keep me stuck on POF when all other sites are history
Bless Ya'll

Posted: 3/28/2007 12:05:24 AM | seems like my story is very much the same, divorced for some time now, dating getting a little old, it can feel like endless interviews, I have met a few people and thought
nice guy maybe a connection and then wham maybe not, I have thought about taking a break but every time I do someone will come along and I am sucked right back in, guess I am not ready to give up just yet but I sure wish it was less exhausting | |

Posted: 3/28/2007 5:15:02 AM | The way I see it at a certain age you don't have a whole lot of time to waste in endless interviews. It feels too much like work to me.
If I date once a week that's 52 job interviews that may or may not be the right one. That's 52 rejects minimum a year.
My instinct for self preservation is just too strong. On top of that the sexual harassment on some of those interviews is an added bonus I can do without.
Maybe if I was paid to date I'd feel differently. | |

That was Zap! from American Gladiators. I'll admit I used to watch that show. Funny watching someone getting knocked sensless with the puegel (sp?) stick after they acted all tough. For those unfamilar with the show, this stick, think really big Q-Tip. Think being several feet in the air.
Yeah, sigh...Zap...what he told her after she went through the whole body builder posing process in the bedroom is priceless. Combine the line with the look on John Ritter's face when he said it and you get
Cheers! | |

Posted: 3/28/2007 10:38:42 AM | | OP, dating is all what you make of it...Sure, we've all dated and gotten burned; it's a part of living and a part of learning. Sure I don't like dating someone, getting exclusive with them - especially when he the one who broaches the idea - and then finding out a short time later that they really don't know what they want, when all along they've been saying that they do...But hey, it happens; everything's a risk...and one can either take the risk and maybe find what they're looking for, or not...But you'll never find it if you don't try...and i don't plan on dying with any regrets fo what I *wished* I had done. One reason I decided to simply date people, rather than date one person at a time for years (as I did for most of the last 30 years), is so that I could take the time to get to know someone better, as people, as who they are, before we became exclusive and intimate...and that was working well for me...until I did become exclusive with someone...regardless of the outcome, I still learned from it, and one thing I learned is that I won't get exclusive with anyone for a even longer next time. You have to look at what *is* and not what you think is there; too many think about what *could be* and miss all the red flags early on when first dating someone. I've learned that it's much better to take more time to get to know someone before jumping in with both feet only to fall flat on your face because the person you trusted wasn't there to catch you before you hit the floor. | |

I tried the casual dating thing and it is exhausting! No thanks...
I learned a thing or two from my experiences.. now I can tell when I should even bother meeting someone, the desire for me to do so is actually quite infrequent..
I can tell a lot just through chatting on here.. why bother wasting time if you already know that there are a ton of incompatibilities... ?
I choose to honor my feelings and have every faith that they will lead me to where I need to be :) | |

Posted: 3/28/2007 6:26:19 PM | IMO....
If a person has in fact dated so much that they are "tired of dating" ......would that not mean there is something wrong ?
Either they are just plain never satisfied ...or they are really bad at seeking out good dates.
I think that many don't date near enough !....because they are too guarded and won't take chances.
If you have a good attitude about dates ...I don't think you are likely to get tired of them....they should be fun . | |
