Dating Smart & Not Falling Apart


To date or to not date, that is the question?

Dating can be a very stressful process if you take it too seriously. Often it seems that people overshadow the experience of having fun and meeting new people by becoming consumed by the notion of finding 'the one' to fill the void.

Let's face it, we all have to kiss many beasts before we find true beauty. The important thing to remember when dating is that you have the power to choose! If you begin to notice things that irritate you or turn you off of someone, I suggest you don't waste your time. There are plenty of fish in the sea, so don't allow dating to become a frustrating process. Dating is all about YOU having fun, learning more about what you desire and find attractive in a companion.

Don't get discouraged by the amount of schmuks you'll meet on the journey who'll make you wanna rip your hair out! Keep faith and have fun! As Madonna says 'don't go for second best, put your love to the test!' Keep a positive attitude and remember that you need to find someone worthy of your love and attention.

what's with this void i keep hearing about? even in my quietest single-life moments ive not felt this "void" Is it a persons dryness and lack of personal fulfillment? where did the void come from? what was lost that allowed this void to be created? was the void once full and if it was, what was it full of and who filled it. I dont know - i think ... Read Morethis void thing is total bullshit and if it does exist why is it up to someone, a stranger at best, to fill it? and this takes me back to my first point about being dry...

Now from my paranormal research, surveying of other women and my personal quest for seeking companionship, void is much more a metaphoric term than a literal term. Let me explain, no one can die from not finding someone to share his/her life with; on the other hand those who have experienced happiness that is genuine in a past relationship tend to...

Some people, as yourself from what you describe above, seem to rest less of their happiness finding the 'one,' but others wish 2 find someone who they can build a fam with & lean on, a life partner. Neither is wrong, outlooks can vary.

Amen! Thought I'd add my two cents too..And excuse francais, but fuck the word dating. I hate the word. It creates this pretensious, weird, "walls-up" tone to getting to know someone. People need to realize that true relationships root from strong friendships. Everything else inbetween is lust. THUS, EVERYONE NEEDS TO STOP GOING AFTER WHAT THEY WANT TO EXPERIENCE IN BED, (LAYING OFF DRUGS COULD HELP), AND START FOCUSING ON FRIENDSHIP. Unless your totally after sex, drugs and being alone. Thatz truth sluts, so light a smoke, call your hag and cry bout it. Holler ;)
