Dating is overrated.

i don't date.  it's not that i'm not attracted to women, or can't get them interested in me.  it's just that i have no real interest in a dating relationship.  tried it, and it just seemed like trouble and hassle with no real payoff.

so far as i can see it, dating relationships are merely an excuse for guys to get the benefits of marriage without any of the actual responsibilities of maintaining a household.  even if a relationship is non-sexual during dating, it can be a constant source of tension and emotional turmoil.  as a responsible person, i feel that this is undesireable.

unfortunately, going straight from 'single' to 'married' seems to have some sort of stigma attached to it, which i've never been able to properly comprehend.  the 'dating' phase of a relationship seems to be a given, and cutting it out seems to be unforgivably taboo.

being without a girlfriend for so long constantly gets me accusations of being gay, or people peering at me suspiciously as if i might be contagious.  very frustrating.

i beg advice from the anonymi of this board, either in how to deal with this problem, or explaining the inate fascination with casual relationships  which somehow eludes me.

sincerely, anonymous.

Not until you give it away, dear loli. Then you'll be "grown up" and "cool" and accepted by all your peers. Or called a whore, but that's okay.
