Why don't people date anymore?

Sounds like you're hanging with people you're not happy with.  Why not explore different venues.  Different places, different people.\n\nExplore other things of interest to you.  What do you enjoy doing?  Gym? Skiing?  Blading? Cycling? Dirt biking? Computers? Reading?  What do you like to do?  When you make a list of things that interest you, check out community centres, clubs, etc., and join up.  There are more people out there who are more like yourself. :-)\n\nSurely, there are more types of people than those who just want your body. :p  Good luck on that!

Yes, because you're a pathetic loser.  Dating really isn't that hard.\n\nUnless you're ugly or stupid.  Or both.

Definitely! It used to be considered the best place to meet other singles--until single people started insisting on inviting a date. Too bad, because they missed a great opportunity to meet others in a fun, safe environment.

Hey I'm physically challenged and have dated many a woman.  Just because a person is unable to do some things that you consider as routine does not make them any less of a person.  And yes if I was single and was to meet a woman who did not have any vision or wasn't able to communicate verbally I would not think twice about going out with them if we connected.

why haven't you dated? because you didn't want to, or because you couldn't?

The new millinium is fast paced, with Ipods, PSP's, Mp3's, TiVo's-people try to date like that. They want a quick fix, and then 'on to the next new invention!'\nWe have to slow down, because another thing that is speeding up in this country is STD's! So......people really need to slow down and be careful, or they won't be around to find that one really true love.

I would think that most people have to be flexible in your situation. If the person is feeling rejected because of the situation I don't think that person should be in the relationship to begin with.

Older people get less dates , younger people get more dates .

Personally, I think it's because most people are thinking with the wrong "head". There's too much emphasis on sex these days, not enough on the important things. I know what you mean though, I haven't found anyone myself that doesn't run at the mere idea of a commitment of any sort.

Yep, times have changed and not for the better.  They either are like your stalker friend (count your blessings on finally losing that one) or they are simply horn-dogs expecting that you will give it up at the drop of a hat.  I have been single again for 15 years and think, at times, that it is just easier to be alone with my cats.  Good luck to you.  There really are some old-school females left out here.

Some people, men or women feel uncomfortable dating the ex-es of friends.   There is no formal code.

I think it's too young.  People in middle school haven't learned enough about themselves yet to be ready for relationships.... Dating so early leads to too much confusion and hurt.  When people are more mature and know themselves better, they're able to deal with the complexities of relationships much better.  It's too bad there's so much peer pressure nowadays to start dating early.

I guess because it departs from tradition and what people are used to.  The women's movement was only 30-40 years ago, and a lot of people still aren't conditioned to the fact that a woman can find happiness and success on her own.  I am 27, rather attractive, own a business and make more money than most married couples my age, yet some people treat me like I've got one foot in the grave and had better hurry up and get married because 30 seems to be the magic deadline.  The truth is, I would love to get married when I'm damn good and ready to find the right one, whether it be tomorrow or when I'm 75.  I'm just not going to get married for the sake of marriage, which a lot of people seem to do (hence the divorce rate today).

When you say 'people' you mean yourself.Ask your question in an honest way instead of trying to make some half-baked general observation.\n\nThe problem with you 'people' is that you are fickle and lack any sort of focus. If you get bored it is because YOU are boring.\n\nFair enough?\n\nOakland (above) makes a fair point.\n\nIt is not 'normal' or 'natural' to want a new partner.\nOnly animals without the capacity to reason would behave that way. As humans we are supposed to be capable of over-riding 'instinct'. Sadly too many people are still animals by definition but largely out of laziness. Remember the computer acronym GIGO? Well... that's true for a relationship. Don't look for excuses or see it as normal.If you are bored it is probably because of your own immature and ineffectual contributions to the relationship. And please don't delude yourself with this "I still love him" \ncrap. You clearly have no idea of what real romantic love is.

B/c they are desperate and probably cannot meet ppl in rl.\n\nMy coworker does this. I think it's b/c when you get old, you do nothing but work and go home...so unless you become a bar whore, where are you gonna meet guys?  I mean I suppose she could try church or wait for friends to hook her up.  \n\nI think after HS/College, dating dies down a lot and it's hard to meet ppl...

Dating is seeing each other and no one else.
