Dating vs. Relationships

[NightOwl]

I really have no desire to randomly date girls or have one night stands.  But going into everything wanting relationships can be problematic too.  I'm not sure what to do regarding that.  I "want" close relationships.  It's not "wrong" to have no interest in meaningless relationships and only want ones you think are going somewhere.  But then again it can be forcing something.

yeah i feel the same
i dont want a one night stand or something meaningless
but it's fine to be that way
just be cautious i suppose

Yeah, I guess I wish I had dated many women in the past and would thus be ready to "settle down" now.  It probably isn't so great to date infrequently and keep looking for everything to be long-term.  But honestly I just flat out don't "want" to go from girl to girl even if I could.

I don't know.  Everything is so frustrating for me right now.  I think I am going to soon think more positively, but everything is still frustrating.

yeah i know what you mean. but if something did happen to come along whatever it was would it be better than nothing?
short term or long term you never really know whats gonna happen
