Online Dating
- Thread starter Columbo
- Start date
Decided to not to do the online dating thing anymore, or any dating at all. I think I was put on this earth to be alone, and that is what I shall be: alone. Which I'm happy about. I love being alone.
Don't be silly. Keep up a profile up. Even just leave it up if you're not that interested or unsure.
Once you're familiar with it, it's fine. You can just leave it up, not check it for a month or more if you can't be bothered. It can be annoying at first. It can also been time consuming at first. Sending and replying to messages. The more interaction you get is generally up to you.
Do you like meeting new people? Like talking to new people? Look at it like this.
As in normal life, you meet and talk to new people, where it doesn't necessarily lead to anything more than a conversation. With online dating you're just focusing down to the basic demographics you'd like to date in.
I think a key is, don't be looking for what you want. Whether a specific type of person and more importantly a specific kind of relationship.
It's cool to meet people.
Columbo
Never again

No. I'm sorry, but relationships are not for me.

Oh well in that case.... I guess if you are so horrible it's best you spare everyone the trouble in real life. And just bug the crap out of us super tolerant types on BBB.Sorry, but I just decided it wasn't for me. I'm such an awful person.

I hope you don't think I'm weird for having a 180 degree change of direction.

Weird - no. Mildly intrigued - yes. Just in the way that one is when one learns something on the BBB forum...I hope you don't think I'm weird for having a 180 degree change of direction.

Well being intrigued by a sudden change of direction seems perfectly normal to me too.

If you are internally OK with your decision, you have just saved yourself a bucket load of money.

Create fictional kids that you will not have and spend the savings in lieue on something frivolous. Blow $50,000+ per each kid you don't have in school fees alone.
