I have time but I'm not interested.

Hoping that will change.


You mean, you will stay uninterested in, and will have no time for, dating any more?


I am still healing. Time fixes everything. Nearly.

I have time, but its not constant. A needy sort of person would be unhappy with me. Thats fine tho, cuz I dont like needy sorts.


I'm the sort of needy sorts you need to stay away from. flowerforyou

How do you fall in love without having time to date and get to know someone?

I find the art of dating being much different from falling in love.

No, my boyfriend takes up so much of my time that I don't have time to date.

To me, dating is part of the whole getting to know someone process. If there's no time to date, we're not going out and spending time to get to know each other. And if we're not spending time getting to know each other, we're not going to fall in love.

Love has always just stepped up and introduced herself to me. I have never gone through the dating cycle to find love. I don't mean that it is a bad thing for some, but just that it never happened that way with me. My first wife was a singer (at the time we met) and second a model, so they had different lifestyles than most. On the go and no time for dating, like myself.

You're still not really explaining how it happens, though. If you don't date and get to know someone and don't have time for it, how do you get to the point of falling in love?

I often see in profiles that people do not have time to date, which is why they joined a dating site. This does not make sense to me, because once you meet someone, you're going to have to have time to date.

So, do you have time to date? If not, how do you expect to meet and get to know people?



No I don't have time to date.(I would make time:heart: )<2Kids*edit*

I get to know people by talking to them a lot.

Most of the people I really like live too far away to actually get to meet them in person.

But I wouldn't have time for a relationship either. Maybe a weekend at some resort hotel, some fun and entertainment, and sex if the chemistry is good.

That's about all I would have time for. Then I would crawl back into the hum drum rut I call my life. LOL.

Dating and getting to know someone are 2 different things. I don't think you get to know someone for years after you are married. At the same time some people have the ability to trust completely like an open book and sometimes when a man and a woman do this they fall in like and even love in a short time. I personally (and I have said this before) don't see the american idea of dating (especially in modern times) as being very reliable. If two people are truly serious about being open and care about the others best interest they develop a bond very quickly and speaking for myself turned it into a partnership right from the beginning.

Well, you have to get to know at least a bit about someone to see that you're interested in a relationship, yes?

Also, you said you don't date. If you don't date, how do you know it's unreliable? It serves both as a weeding out process, as well as a getting to know someone process.

I have seen both men and women go through many dates and are frustrated. I don't have the time or will to go through this. For some it might be cool. For me, I'll pass.

This is why I joined and if I do meet the right woman I will make time for her. If somethings a prority you make time for it, if you don't then it's not a prority to you.

The same can happen anywhere along the getting to know someone process. Refusing to go out on dates isn't necessarily going to stop that.

Did your marriage work out? If not, then it can happen anywhere along the getting to know you part.
