I’m shocked that on this site of all places, where complaints of loneliness are common, it is controversial to think that dating as it typically is in society today is a frustrating waste of time. I feel like Obama at the first debate in 2012 where he went in expecting the complete opposite of what would actually happen, so this reaction really caught me off guard.
It’s frustrating, but I don’t think it’s a waste of time. I go into dates as an upfront and honest person who’s not trying to gloss over my flaws or make myself out to be better than I am. I won’t deny that most people don’t do this, but I think everyone would be better off if we all did. At least this way if someone ends up not being interested, I know that they aren’t interested in me, not that I lied in the wrong way to hoodwink them.
But hey, if you want to be alone forever, then sure, dating’s a waste of time.
