Dating Thread.

I gotta say. Most young people I know now days that I'm close with meet online for some reason. In person dating and friendship has gone down a lot

It lessens the sting of rejection if its' detached like OLD, but it also reduces the excitement, that high you get, when it happens organically.

Worked with my wife , and after a month after she broke up with her Ex, I gathered my balls, marched my ass in her office and asked her out on a date for a hike for the long Easter Weekend. I tell this story as a way to lay the ground work for an example.

I'm not tooting my own horn here, but my wife is an attractive woman. She's never had to struggle to get a date or a boyfriend. This is the case for most attractive and nice girls. Thes girls aren't sitting on the market long enough to get on OLD.

Too all you boys on here: Get out there, put yourself out there. Don't sit back and create a profile! Don't go to the bar and pick up the bar sleuths. Get into things like rock climbing, local trail running groups, or painting classes. You think all the fun girls with good personalities are sitting at home waiting and fielding all the dumb lines they see on Tinder or whatever? Hell no, they are going out and living life, and so should you.

Don't tell yourself "Everyone's doing it these days, its how its evolved", because that's a lie. That's a lie people are telling themselves to protect themselves from possible rejection.
 
Most young people meet and or find dates at the gym at least around here. Keeps it real

Yes dating in person and meeting people in person is a lot better. I had one bad experience with dating online. after that I was like nope. Not doing this again. Met my wife and my job as well.

Finding people at the gym is super bad in my opinion. Idk I never liked doing that cause most girls there were so full of themselves. And I was like whatever. I'm not a jock personality. I'm just a level headed dood so it didn't work out for me at the gym lol

And church. Church or gym will win family approval.

I think working with someone is the best way to find a spouse. When you work with someone you see that person in all their glory(or lack of). My wife has always said that is something she knows about me. She said she knows I have seen her clean, hair fixed and happy and in a mess, frustrated and tired and she has seen me the same. You get to know who that person really is with no facade.

My wife and I were best friends before I ever was in love with her and knew at that time when we were just friends that I could spend every day with her the rest of my life.

I will say as someone who goes to the gym, I don't like to be distracted. I think it's not that the girls are full of themselves, they just don't want to be bugged. If someone came up to me and tried to strike a conversation, I'm going to be pretty annoyed tbh
 
I like to pick up chicks at the fishing hole

THis. No one wants to stop and interrupt their sets to chit chat. That's my decompress time
 
I don’t see how some of y’all nerds ever get a date!
Some girls like that my woman likes it somewhat lol. But I'm a mis between both nerd and being a active person. I do a lot and like a lot. So I connect with my wife on a lot of things. I even brush and style and braid her hair.

Wow you are 23 and married ?
 
That's just insane. It was normal 50 years ago but it's unusual to see people get married so young these days.

Eh, I think for one thing people act like it’s strange and like to tell horror stories of divorce (My wife and I seemed to get these from everyone before we got married) along with people getting married for the wrong reasons is why. It’s like the reaction people give you when you have three young kids(You should see it with seven!) I think more encouragement and better teaching on marriage and marrying the right person would lead to more people getting married earlier. The tax break is quite nice as well.

My wife and I were married at 21/20 and we haven’t killed each other and our kids haven’t killed us yet.

Keep waiting And trying. I felt hopeless In finding a spouse cause I wasn't too good with girls and then I ended up literally bumping into my now wife lol and the rest is history.

You wait with your mind and heart open. I had no intentions on being married when I was nineteen until I was thirty. That plan changed.
A thing I've noticed is people like to think " there's a perfect person for me" and that really messes up the whole idea of dating and marriage.

Maybe it's true that there is a perfect person. But that whole idea REALLY hurt me in my past and led to a lot of breakdowns mentally. I'm a big advocate of theres not somebody perfect. The whole princess and prince in shining armor that Disney movies portrayal are really a hinderance on people's ideals of relationships. My whole thing was I'm going to make myself a better person, get closer to God and live my life and when somebody that's compatible and I feel right with comes along I'll take a chance. And it worked out just fine.

Yeah they say it’s like that lol. That’s why I don’t think about it . Like a reverse psych thing. I got other things to focus on, the rest will fill in I guess . It’s funny folks who put themselves out there and talk to lots of women are the ones who don’t get married earlier . I’m telling you it’s a reverse psych thing lol. So basically if I just chill and do my own thing it will happen if I’m open to it.

I believe there is a perfect person for each person, but I think our view on who we want that perfect person to be and who that person actually is does not match up most of the time.

Don't let things go by you though. I talked and made friends. Youll make connections and meet lots of girls by just being friends with somebody.

I don't know, I've really had long deep thoughts about that idea and have never came to a concise conclusion. I've talked to my pastor and co pastor and they have opposite opinions. My pastor told me the bible never says you have a perfect person waiting for you that you have to marry.

My wife and I have talked about it quite a bit and I tend to believe you only realize that person is the perfect person for you looking back over the years. Looking ahead for that “perfect person” will probably just mess you up.

Only perfect person in this world is the lady at the gym that loves to do butt workouts in front of me.
