| ever get bored of dating? Posted: 5/21/2008 9:40:37 AM | I get that feeling alot, it may be the fact that alot of people expect u to guess where u stand with them, instead of just opening their mouth and telling u how they feel. Maybe u just need sum time to yourself to figure out wot u really want from life and from dating and then try again.
Sorry cant help more | |

| ever get bored of dating? Posted: 5/21/2008 10:33:20 AM | its all good i'm jst wondering if anyone else gets like this as well... for me i know what i want and it takes me a month to figure out if i want more with the guy...but if he can't give me a straight answer i start to get bored with him and look for others who do know what they want | |

| ever get bored of dating? Posted: 5/21/2008 10:39:30 AM | That's one of those hidden keyword gems where someone really cool writes a topic like ~Hey please answer this~.
But, otherwise dating shouldnt be boring. Would you call going bowling boring? Or having a nice dinner out? Or Canoeing? or Cannoodling? or The Art Museum.
Any date I get is a gift from God, I'm not kidding.  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------how (((How long do you date/see someone before you get bored with it and wanna know where things are going?)))
Ahh, I should learn to read better (or not jump to conclusions, anyone here ever do that?) before I pop open my mouth or start pressing keys....
I have no statistical answer for this. I wonder ...do you mean "where is this going are you going to be a man and kiss me"....or "Joe/Sue ...we have been dating and sleeping together for a year now and you have never said "I love" or "would you marry me"" or somewhere in between those two?
Thanks for an interesting topic with a good title, I hadn't seen too many lately. | |

| ever get bored of dating? Posted: 5/21/2008 11:50:39 AM | | I have to agree with superlizard. The dating scene gets old real quick. Sometimes you have to go with 20 or 30 people before you find one that you click with. But once you do those dates should not be boring whether it's the 1st date or the 50th. My guess is you just haven't found anyone that is in your eyes, worth getting to know past 4 or 5 date. Good Luck to you. | |

| ever get bored of dating? Posted: 5/21/2008 12:31:10 PM | | Thats why I stopped looking and am here for the forums. I think that sometimes, if you actively look, you can't see. You stop looking and you finally notice the world around you. | |
|
| ever get bored of dating? Posted: 5/21/2008 12:33:35 PM | thank god i'm not the only one tired of the dating scene i was starting to think i was the only one getting sick of it | |
|
| ever get bored of dating? Posted: 5/21/2008 12:35:04 PM | i dont get bored of dating...i get bored of endless emailing...

| ever get bored of dating? Posted: 5/21/2008 1:05:46 PM | I wouldn't call it bored...desensitized. I used to get excited about meeting guys but since so many of these experiences are disappointing - sitting across the table from a man who weighs 40 or 50 pounds more than his picture, or looks at least 10 years older than it, or has severe issues - I have stopped getting happy in advance of the first meeting. To slightly alter Elvis Costello's brilliant song - I used to be amused but now I try not to be disgusted.

|
| ever get bored of dating? Posted: 5/21/2008 3:04:23 PM | | Nice to know I'm not the only one bored with trying to just find someone to date, let alone get bored dating them. I've given up meeting solo with anyone and try to go to the POF parties not to hook up but just to hang out with other singles. | |

| ever get bored of dating? Posted: 5/21/2008 3:20:26 PM | well, if you are 'bored of dating a person' my thought is you are with the wrong person. dating a person should be filled with fun and adventure. and if you cannot discuss your 'plateau' together and work through it, you definately are with the wrong person.
have i gotten bored of the dating SCENE...ummm, yes...the 'finding' a compatible person to date has become boring....but the meeting new people for me is NEVER boring.
however, i'm not presently looking AND i'm not bored with the person with whom i'm spending my time.
Hang in there and remember it's suppoesd to be FUN!!!
as always, just my opinion | |

Bored of going out on dates? No.
Bored of the dating scene? Absolutely... I'm apathetic towards it.
Amen brother!
how long do you date/see someone before you get bored with it and wanna know where things are going?
I wouldn't say I get bored exactly, but usually date #3 is when I have a pretty good idea of where things are going. | |
|
| ever get bored of dating? Posted: 5/21/2008 7:48:36 PM | Yes. I am really bored and tired of it, right now. In fact, I think I'm going to take the summer off~maybe I'll have a better outlook on dating after that. | |
|
| ever get bored of dating? Posted: 5/21/2008 9:26:00 PM | I can't say that I get bored with dating (I'd have to actually manage the dating, before I could be bored of it!). But I'm incredibly bored of trying to get to that point. It's beyond frustrating and I've deemed it as not worth my time to spend any more effort pursuing.
Instead, I'm focusing on the important things in life. Like games. I never get bored of that stuff! I also focus on 'real life' whatever that means... | |
|
| ever get bored of dating? Posted: 5/21/2008 11:42:23 PM | Bored....disgusted.....loathe.......is there a difference?
It sucks.....I hate it........ It's no fun.... and NO.... I do NOT have a bad attitude..... it really DOES suck. | |
|
| ever get bored of dating? Posted: 5/22/2008 12:10:20 AM | | I get bored very easily! So they better be full of romance and passion and excitement to keep my attention. I never wanna know where things are going just when I'm going! lol! I thought the 1st month of dating is supposed to be the best. Usually I can't find someone to hold my attention thru 1 date! | |

| ever get bored of dating? Posted: 5/22/2008 1:57:51 AM | I would give it a good month to see if anything really connects...if it doesn't then you throw them back into the pond and hope they know how to swim.
I don't want to sound harsh but life is too short and an opportunity might miss you. If a true connection doesn't come within the month of seeing each other...well, such is life in the big city. Isn't that the reason we are here on this site?!
Test out the waters...tip your toe and hopefully it won't freeze from cold water...Dating is an experience not a given, it should be fun not boring. | |

| ever get bored of dating? Posted: 5/22/2008 4:28:24 AM | | i'm with all the ppl bored of dating....theres no fun in it anymore for me....i rather just find someone and not play the stupid dating game now....i actually hate the idea of dates cause i'm always bored while getting to know someone new....i wish i could see it as fun but its not no more...its just same sh!t different person....whats the fun in that?? | |
|
| ever get bored of dating? Posted: 5/22/2008 7:40:26 AM | Am I bored of dating? Hmm...let's just say that if I never go on another date again, it will be too soon. So that's it for me. I'm done. Dating is just not my thing.
So unless I meet someone by chance and we can skip over the whole dating scene all together, it looks like I will remain alone. And I'm fine with that...to each their own.

Msg: 1 -- how long do you date/see someone before you get bored with it and wanna know where things are going?
Usually once, and rarely twice. If the spark isn't there I won't waste my time. | |
|
| ever get bored of dating? Posted: 5/22/2008 4:36:44 PM | | To be real honest I haven't had a date in a long time. To me just meeting someone to say hello doesn't count as a date and that seems to be all anyone wants to do. Oh they'll email and telephone you to death, but scared to meet in real time, I mean what's up with that? | |
