Dating the Inexperienced and Insecure...


Recommended Posts

Has anyone here dated anyone and really felt connected to someone but they were kind of naive with little to no dating experience to the point where they didn't really know the "rules?"

 

What if it went to the extreme that they did something to hurt you, that involves other people, just cause they're lonely and dont know any better? I'm not talking outright cheating but perhaps gestures or things like cuddling friends in front of you at a bar because they have a bit of history and again they don't really know the ettiquette and have no malicious intent? But it still hurts and you feel taken for granted.

 

Did you overlook this disrespect and take their circumstances into account?

 

They apologize, but after they do and you try to get over it, you see them trying to contact the other person they did the act with. You didn't see the message content but you know they were sent. Then what?

 

Also, suppose the people they did the hurtful act with were the type of person who charge for their company and work in certain establishments. Again, the person you were dating was lonely and socially awkward.

 

What do you think? Is there ever a time to stay together or in contact when dealing with hurt that comes from being clueless? Is it possible to move down to just friends because of it, adjust and meet in the middle?

Nope, not at my age. And, that's all I date: men who are similarly-aged. At our age, there's no excuse for it; that's what the follies of youth were for....to learn these things and how to play nicely with others.
