Dating people you do not really like?

Post Reply New Topic

If most of the women you go for are not attracted back in return. In this scenario is it best to compromise and date someone you do not ‘like’?

I don't understand what you just said mate

Do you mean settling for someone you don't like, because the good ones don't like you?

Yeah

I would recommend that you don't date if you don't find anyone who is at least interested enough to go on one date with you.

You're defrauding yourself and the other person if you date someone you know you don't feel any connection with. I mean, what's the point of that? Why spend a couple of hours talking to someone you don't particularly like?

What's the difference between the ones you like and the ones you don't?

Is this based on looks or actual compatibility?

Do you even know the ones you don't like?

I don't think that's a very good idea. That's how abusive relationships start.

How is this even a forum lol. Of course you shouldn't date people you don't like. It's a waste of your time and frustration. I do have to wonder if dating a someone the extreme opposite of you the equivalent?

First question to ask yourself is how would you feel if someone who didn't really like you led you on romantically?

What would your opinion be of that person?

I would hope that once you've answered that, you'd have your answer.

Are you talking about liking someone as a person or being attracted to them? If you are only attracted to conventionally beautiful women, you might consider other women with different looks as being potentially attractive.

But if you just don't like someone, then no, don't date them.

Only when I was paid to.

Dating someone you dont like sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.

Given the choice between being paid to date someone I don't like and going hungry for a day, I've picked the former.

Do you mean not like in a romantic sense, not infatuated with, not attracted to, or not liking someone partly because you barely know them? If so there's a chance feelings could develop & you might start liking them if you spend time with them getting to know them. However if it's not liking someone as a person that you know a bit then it's a lot more likely that you won't start liking them. That said I majorly hated being single & if a woman was interested in me I probably woulda given her a chance assuming a handfull of other criteria was met.

That sounds miserable for everyone involved.

There are far greater miseries than dating someone you don't like -- starving while homeless really sucks, for example.

Call me a 'gigolo', but having rented myself out as a male escort for women twice my age at least put food on my table and kept a roof over my head.
