Dating… Who Me? No Thanks

Dating is tricky. You need to assess different areas of your relationship with another person to determine whether or not they are “the one”.

Males and females alike have their share of glory and gloomy relationship moments. Where some of them thrive in maintaining a long-term relation, others are not even vaguely interested.

If you are unsure whether dating is your cup of tea or not, watch for the signs below to validate the same –

Your Weekend Plans Are Fulfilling

Your weekends are dedicated to you and you alone. You plan the itinerary perfectly and follow it religiously. While at it, you do not get deterred by the criticisms that come from other people and you make sure that they do not dictate terms.

You Love Spending Time with More People than Just One Person

You know going on dates is not your forte when you like to travel in a group. Be it a movie, getaway to a fancy resort or just a weekend hangout; you always have more people around you.

You Have What the World Calls “Commitment Issues”

Even if you go on a date and you like the other person, you fear committing to them. You have had your share of disappointments from your past relation(s), which prevents you from going all-out to show this new individual that you are “available”.

You Don’t Like Giving Second Chances

If your first date was miserable, you definitely would not want to give it another thought. However, if it did go smooth, would you rather spend time doing something interesting or face a similar dating paradigm?

Your Dating Standards Are Not Flexible

Have you ever analysed your dating requirements? Are they rigid? Has it been maintained in such a way with a definitive purpose? It could be the case that you are not ready to date someone, which is why you portray your expectations as sky high, all this time revelling in the fact that a date would be hard to come by.

Picking a Date Outfit is Daunting

You hate to play the dress-up game for an unknown person, who you do not know and can never tell if they will like you or not. You prefer wearing a casual attire and maintaining the “accept me as I am” attitude.

You Dislike Small Talk

You hate small talks, but that’s how people get to know one another on their first date. “Ugh! Do I really have to do this??”

You Are on a Budget

When you are always on a budget, there is no room for compromise. You already have fixed expenditures and have your eyes set on better investments. Dating is the last thing on your mind.

You prefer being yourself. You have seen your friends getting into relationships and the subsequent changes that develop in their attitude. Besides that, there is much more to life than dating.
