I agree. I'm dating a couple of guys at the moment and it's hard work.

Dating "a couple of guys"? Do they know?

Why would anon have to tell them? Dating does not mean committed. As long as anon is being safe about it, it's not really anybody's concern until somebody wants to make it exclusive.

Thank you! I did tell them just in case they had any funny ideas - some guys do, I know - but that was me being more open than I had to be. Don't know what the other anon's problem is.

wtf? Yes, they know. I told them both before we sat down to our respective first meals, so if they had a problem with it we wouldn't be wasting each others' time. What the fuck is it to you?

A lot of people taking "dating" as "in a relationship," like boyfriend and girlfriend (or whatever your persuasion), and cheating is a big squick for people. Don't act all surprised that people misinterpreted what sounded like a confession of infidelity.

Dating sucks balls and I totally want to agree, but I think getting left at the altar because your fiancee is still in love with her ex and hasn't had time to realize that and break up with you properly would be worse :( I'd rather not get my heart smashed to pieces like he did.

Worse if you get married and realize that though.

Frankly, every relationship that I've seen that jumped to commitment that fast crashed and burned within a year.

I've never casually dated. I've had a couple serious relationships that were monogamous from the first date, and I'm now married (to someone I never even went on a "first date" with). Casual dating is by no means necessary for certain personality types, nor does not doing it mean a relationship is going to crash and burn.

While I'm glad t hings worked out for you, I have not seen this very much in my personal life. You stand as proof it exists, and that's great! But I suspect that you may be an exception.

To elaborate though, I think the reason so many of the wones I witnessed failed were a bit too much the desire of OP' fueling decisions. People who were in the throes of infatuation or who wanted to have a comitted relationship (usually just one person) without the "hassle" of dating but also without the work being put in to actually know a person. The result? A few months later people discovering it wasn't so ideal with this perosn.

I used to tell my parents to put me into an arranged marriage so I wouldn't have to deal with dating.

I feel absolutely the same way, but I was lucky enough to fall for a long-time friend (with whom I'd always had a semi-romantic friendship) and actually went straight from friendship to a committed relationship.

Oh god that sounds like a dream come true.

It really was. I generally like being by myself and wasn't really looking for anything at the time, but we'd always been more or less in love and both knew it. When we finally got around to admitting it, it was a very natural shift from being best friends to being best friends and lovers. We've been together for almost three years now, and known each other for eight or so (since our mid-teens).

Me too :)

It rocks.

I just want to skip to the part where we're eighty and just don't give a fuck. That seems like a good place to be relationship wise.

It's not that you can't, but most people don't want to. You might get lucky and meet someone that you click with that it feels right from the start. I've been with my boyfriend for almost 3 years and we started dating exclusively from the moment we confessed our feelings to each other. We had been friends for a few months prior though.

I agree. I have different degrees of Ted in my group of friends and I at one point just hated dating and wanted to just get into an awesome committed relationship and skip the dating.

For my story, I ended up marrying my boyfriend of 10 years after we had separated for a while. For my best friend (girl A) she ended up marrying her best friend who was in her group of friends, and he dated girl B in high school. So for us high schoolers we thought it would be 'true love' and they would end up marrying, but they didn't. Sure friends can complicate relationships but sometimes they can work out well. I think it's true to marry your best friend. =) As for girl B she is still dating and hates it, so right now she's completely Ted in the romantic aspect.

Good luck to you OP, you'll find your best friend/love of your life someday soon.

Seconded like whoa.

Also, your icon is fucking epic. Not only because it's so usable, but because of Eye of the Tiger :D

Thank you :D I seriously almost died laughing when I saw the video!

Holy hell, you are seriously the first person I've ever seen on the internet that ever said that about him. People I know online either don't know who he is or can't stand him.

Why is it scary? Dating's all the drama and uncertainty and occasional heartbreak. Happy relationship with all that out of the way sounds lovely to me.

I fucking hate dating lol It's just a pain in the ass tbh. I get why a lot of people like it and have fun with it and just go for it but I am not that way lol I just got out of a relationship not that long ago and I'm probably going to be single for a long ass time cause...fuck man, I don't want to go through the dating process again.
