[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because dating is exhausting. I am so immensely sick of continuously putting myself out there to go on boring dates and having things either just not connect, or each other's lives get in the way of building a real relationship, or finding out that men in their late 30s/40s are just as immature as men were in their 20s when it comes to ghosting and lovebombing and just lying. I also see that my problem is I want to focus on one guy at a time. When I meet someone and it seems like we click, I want to focus on dating that guy and hoping for the best, rather than hedging my bets with a stack of dates through the next two weeks. But it seems like everyone in this game is hedging their bets with other options, and then just chooses the other options instead of me, while I should have kept my options open instead of focusing on one guy at a time.... and so on.

I hate dating. Every time I waste 2-3 hours on dates that go nowhere I wish I was doing something else. I'm seriously thinking about just accepting my life as a perpetually single person and using the extra time to build skills and pursue hobbies that I just haven't found quite enough time to do. With more nights in, I could work on starting a business, or getting back to composing music like I used to do... or both. The thought of that is so much more appealing than the hamster wheel of dating.

Thoughts? Is this rational and healthy, or is this just "cope"? [/quote]
