[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been dating with the hope of marriage. But recently I’ve been feeling like dating is a pain. I’ve become content with being single. I enjoy my family and friends and don’t want children. I kinda hit it off with a guy, but I’m starting to resent some of the expectations of dating. I don’t want to tell anyone where I’ve been and where I’m going or have to communicate daily or be expected to fulfill their sexual needs. I’m actually kinda shocked that I’ve grown to feel this way because for so long I was dying to be a wife. Does this mean I should stop dating?[/quote]

Stop dating with the exception of marriage.  This is often the wrong view for many women and why many women are single by mid-late 30s onward.

You don't date the men you think you will marry.  You date to get to know someone and be in a relationship with them.  If that relationship leads to marriage then it leads to marriage.  You can't force a relationship to marriage, those always fail or both spouses are unhappy.

Date with the goal of being with someone in a relationship.  No one knows if a relationship will lead to marriage, but if that's the only goal you will never be happy because you will have missed out so many men who would have been great husbands and had you very happy...all because you didn't give them the chance by being in a relationship.[/quote]
