Have you ever dated someone just to not be single?

[SilkySkyKitten]

In a way, yes. My first relationship I started since the person I was the most interested in ran off and found a boyfriend of their own, so I went after another guy that I had an interest in as well but not nearly as much as the first guy. As much as I tried to convince myself at the time to the contrary, I honestly was just desperate to not be alone, and in the end it never lasted. We broke up about two months later, resulting in me coming to the realization that it never really could have worked out in the long run anyway...

Running after someone just because you're desperate and don't want to be single isn't a good idea, truly. Desperation more often than not really distorts your judgement, making someone who might not be a good match at all seem like a good target to go after. It's better to wait until you can find someone you truly can be happy with and truly want to be with regardless of if you want to stay single or not, and that's something I myself had to learn the hard way.

Yes, but your terrible attempts at psychology are, well kind of terrible.

And here I was, thinking using fancy words will make me right and my personal assessment of someone else's personality will override reality.

See, now if I retort to your blatant implication, you'll simply say you never explicitly said anything. Of course I can't take such a statement at face value either. ultimately, you clearly don't want to talk about relationships (or simply have absolutely nothing interesting or insightful to say), so thank you for wasting our time here by initiating all this. Also, you seem to have a knack for responding to me when I'm on my way out the door. Third time that's happened since your last response.

Yeah I've done that and it's a terrible idea. Being single isn't a big deal and it saves a ton of time and money. Trust me. All that will come from you being in relationship like that is a person with a broken heart. (damn that sounds sappy)

Well we're already dating so this thread is a little moot now, and what's more the situation wasn't quite how the OP made it seem(having read it over), so it was honestly a little unintentionally misleading. Regardless, I'm mostly responding to you because your avi is absolutely mesmerizing.

Okay then, I'll take my unofficial relationship advice to some other thread then.

Thanks lol.

No, but I came very close a few months back. I had just gotten out of a relationship, that had ended quite well though, and about a week after, I kissed this friend of mine, that I knew had feelings for me. But I realised that I would have been doing it as a rebound/not wanting to be single thing, so I spoke to her. I think I made the right choice, I don't think it is fair on either person to get into that sort of relationship.
