What Will You Miss, And What Won’t You Miss About Dating?
Hello boys and girls!!
Just a little quiz question – It would be very interesting to see your opinions on what you will miss about dating and what you wont miss about dating – seeing as we are (almost) all on here planning our wedding and are now off the market!!!

Well, I’m not engaged, but I’ve been in a relationship for 5 years. I’ve been faithful, so I’ve been off the market for 5 years.
But, I don’t miss much about the dating scene. It’s so uncertain. One, trying to find a decent guy is very difficult. I have tons of single friends and they can’t seem to meet anyone. Aside from that, when they do meet someone, it’s good in the beginning, but then it goes south. Lots of times, I’m finding my friends are picking guys that still aren’t over their exes. That’s a huge turn off and leads to major drama.
Then, it seems like you can’t really find trustworthy people anymore. My friend was involved with this guy and we all thought he was Mr. Perfect. I was even envious of her relationship. Later, after they broke up, I found out tons of horrible things about him. He never respected her, he cheated, he lied……..all kinds of stuff.
Then, when you date, you have the rules and the steps. You can move too fast, but you can’t move too slow. You can’t seem too eager, but if you don’t seem eager enough, then you look like you’re not interested.
It’s complicated! Then, if you add sex to the mix, you open up another set of issues to the table. When is it too soon? Are you being too eager or easy? How long is too long to wait, before you look like you’ve got issues. Is he going to think I’m too fat or too skinny?
Whatever! Haha……..I like being in a long term, commited relationship, because I have someone I can trust to turn to. You always have someone you can be 100% open and honest with.
The only thing I might miss about dating is the “honeymoon stage” You know, the one when he calls after the first date and your heart skips a beat! But, in the end, the cons outweigh the pros and I would hate to go back into the dating scene. It’s scary!

Of course, you will miss and gain at the same time when you launch something new. Concerning dating you start relationships and it means you commit yourself to a certain person. Hence many things you are to discuss together now. Before all decisions were up to you! You could decide by yourself what to do or not. Anyway, it’s no good to be alone. It’s much warmer together than by yourself

I actually made a list about this shortly after I got engaged kind of my way of saying good-bye to the whole dating scene. (Not that I’m sad to do so. haha)
I will miss..
The “newness” of relationships.
That little period in time where you really start to get to know the person, their likes and dislikes etc.
I won’t miss…
Dating lots of guys who turn out to be jerks, cheaters, liars, etc.
Not knowing whether it’s okay to say I love you or not.
Being anxious about every date.
Having to start all over with someone.
All the lines guys try to tell you.
Just bad dates period. haha.

Oh just the “new” feeling of dating. There is nothing like the new love feeling, where you are all giggly and daydreaming about the new guy all the time. Don’t get me wrong, I prefer the love that I have now, but it still isn’t quite like the silly schoolgirl feeling.

Not near the point of marriage yet but..
Will miss:
- The things different people are willing to do (in bed)
Won’t miss:
- Trying again and again to find that special someone
- Risk of STD
- Trying to make new relationships happen
