Should You Take a Dating Break?
Wednesday October 24, 2007
Is there ever a time to take a break from dating or trying to meet someone new?
In a word, yes. Early on in a relationship or (preferably) before you've met someone special, there is a time where we all need to sit down and see whether or not we're ready to date, and then whether or not our circumstances merit taking a dating break anyway.
Have you ever taken a break from dating? If so, why? When did you know it was time to start dating again?

I think so. My friend Horace once dated a schoolmate for about one month, then he felt unsuitable with her. So he left her and began to date an airtress. But, a few days later, he gave up the online dating and continue to contact his schoolmate.
o.k. so there is this guy and he likes me but i have a boyfriend and i kinda like theese two other guys.what should i do? cuz i dont want to cheat on him and all
Hummmm……. I think so, too. Sometimes we need adjust ourselves. As you know, love is important. Once we feel puzzled, we sould think and have a break.
Date without REALLY dating… Props for wanting to be loyal
I haven’t seriously dated since 2001. All I have had is lunch dates that didn’t make it to dinner.I’m wondering how to get back into the dating scene
A break from dating?
Yes! After my divorce from a long term marriage, I was so hurt, confused, angery, not only at myself, but also at my ex-wife. We talk, get along ok now, But trust me, I don’t let her (or any other woman) pull the wool over my eyes anymore! After being married so long, I didn’t even know how to date another woman.
Know to start dating again?
Shortly after my divorce was final, I asked a nice looking girl for her phone number, (i was so scared) she gave it up to me, I called, she called, we talked, and went out together. The date felt so weird to me, I didn’t know how to react to her (I asked her out just to see if I still had it, to see if I could get a date). I didn’t even kiss her. We went out another time after that, again no kiss.. even after her sexual overtones to me, I couldn’t do it. I felt like I was cheating on my wife, even though we were divorced.
This is a plain example of I was not ready to date. Never saw her after the two dates. (I knew it was all me, that messed it up)
The jist of my story? I did a few years of research, homework, thinking about things, all about women.. (interesting people indeed it’s to bad for me I didn’t know this while I was married); before I could feel at ease with myself, in my interactions on an intimate level with women. I needed to study them.. what makes them tic tock; the good clocks.. from the not so go clocks.
I date on the internet sometimes. I’ve met several women, and enjoying the fun and that’s it.. FUN. Fun for her.. & fun for me. And I also find it very fun to approach and open women in person, face to face.
Dating should be fun, if it isn’t, a way must be found to make it fun for both people.
