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.
That was my point. That’s how dating should be but it isn’t and never will be.
But hey, if you want to be alone forever, then sure, dating’s a waste of time.
I’d love to be alone forever. I don’t expect to live long though so I don’t think it’s as big of a deal to me than most people.
