fiat500 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I haven't dated in two years. My last relationship lasted three years and the people who ask me out are not attractive to me. Maybe there's something wrong with me. They seem like great guys. But I haven't really had the urge to date. I'm 23 and female. Should I just say yes to the next person that asks just to get the experience? Maybe I've been desensitized. I don't know. Help? Link to post Share on other sites
rod_in_gtown Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Sounds like you're still not over your previous relationship. It's ok to date casually, if only just to go out. I know I've dated many women who were on the same boat. Make sure you split the check if you're not interested in the guy romantically. And be clear about it. Earns you a lot of respect being honest. Even if they would rather be romantic about it. Can't go wrong with the truth. In short, you'll know when you're ready to be involved in a serious relationship with a guy, in the meantime it's ok to date and just have fun. You don't have to be attracted to the guy but if he's cool or fun, give it a shot. You may have a fun date in your hands. Link to post Share on other sites
lisette Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 You'll be fine! You're 23 - you have time to just not date if you want to and maybe pursue career or friendships instead. My first serious boyfriend was at aged 26, because up until that point I simply had not felt strongly about anyone just like you. But don't take every date in such a serious way - you don't have to feel thunderbolts and tummy flips, you can just go for pleasure of having dinner with someone of opposite sex and conversation with new person. You don't have to kiss them or see them a second time. Maybe just go on one or two and see how you feel about it. Hope that helps Link to post Share on other sites
