Right now, I am just really trying to find somebody that I can see myself with for a very long time. My 21st birthday is coming up in a few months, and that is a big deal. I do not want to be single on the day that I am legally allowed to drink. :/ 

But I really want to find somebody that is right for me, not just a " fill in " girlfriend. 

Love, sex, financial benefits. 

tornadocam : In my opinion, The religion does not matter, I'm muslim and I wil date a atheist, Muslim Jew christian, Anyone, What if you find the one, Yet she is not jew or christian? I hope that I did not offend you but I had to get that off of my chest.
I'm 11. And planning not to have a relationship until i'm at least 16.


I want someone that is nice caring, And someone that you can laugh with. And attractive does not really mean much to me. But it still does a bit, So yeah generic reply I know.

I don't think much about dating, but I won't date anyone unless I really like them. I do not expect the person I date to be the one I will be with for the rest of my life. I just would like to have a great time with the person I end up dating, whether we last forever or only a few months. I also do not care about their religion, gender, or nationality. For now, all I expect from the other person is he or she loves me back, and they are honest and caring.

The only thing I really care about is being with someone who I can see myself with for a long time down the road...The most important things that matter to me in a relationship is honesty, good communication, and openness. Most people look at the stuff on the outside of a person, but to me, that is just extra, personality takes priority in my book. 

I am a long way from even considering dating someone or getting in a serious relationship....high school is too early and it won't last very long (most of the time) and I would also like to get through college without being distracted with a love life, so any time after that would probably best suit me. 

Right now I have clear goals that I would like to accomplish before getting into something serious like this, I want to graduate high school and also get into a good college and graduate from that as well. If it means that I don't get out and start dating until I am 30, then so be it!

There isn't really a lot of things I look for in a girl, but I do care about honesty a great deal...I would also prefer it if she wasn't a drama queen or an emotional mess 24/7....so I guess I would prefer a girl that is more independent I guess and won't always rely on me for that type of stuff because I am a rather serious, unemotional person myself. Still though, I will always be there for support. 


In short, those are some of the things I would like to get out of the way before diving right into the world of dating and relationships, right now though I have too many things on my mind that I have to get out of the way beforehand! 

My goal in dating is to find a girl I get a deep connection with and I care deeply about her, but when i get older I will look for the right girl

Step 1. Get a date

warmaker : my goal when dating is to have some one there I can count on someone that when I need a shoulder they are there when I need words of advice or encouragement they are they and vice versa I want some one who is not only the girl I love but my friend some one I can share a deep talk with tell my fears my secrets and be able to trust them I want some one who does not care that I have a six pack or good hair I want some one who is there for me I want some one that I can sit down and watch a fight with I want some one I can invite to my matches I want a girl who gets me and I want to get her I want to be there for her in her darkest hour I want to be her shoulder I want to be her rock I want to cheer the loudest and the longest I want to be able to have a romantic evenige once or twice a month I want to be able to go on dates for a long time and it not get old I want a girl who both understands and wants to be understood I want a girl that views me as her equal and values me as much as I value her 

When i ask someone out, I'm just looking for some enjoyment. I'm 14, and there's literally a sea of fish out there. I know i can't i can't catch them all, but I'll try to get as many as i can and enjoy it to its fullest. I can't picture lengthy relationships - a spouse is not what i want right now.

Well right now my goal for dating would be to actually get a date, that's my first and only goal at the moment.

warmaker : my goal? Not trying to be offensive or vulgar, but my goal for now is.... just to go all the way. Getting close

I do not date anymore, well my wife and I go out on the occasional date seeing that we have been married for almost 22 years.. But when we do go out on dates we love to go to dinner, listen to music and ride around.

Personally, I believe you shouldn't even get into a relationship if you won't be completely serious about it. No, that doesn't mean you absolutely believe the two of you will be getting married in the future, but you should both truly care and feel for one another, and try your hardest to make each other as happy as possible. 

For me, Ill date someone for two reasons. Either because I want to get to know that person better and more personally, or I feel like I am in love with that person. Ive only dated one girl so far and I didnt really like it, since I asked her out out of delusional love. I actually just recently gave up on trying to date a girl I was in love with (Seriously in love, not delusional love Im sure), since she doesnt want to date anyone and she ended up falling in love with someone else. Right now Im considering dating a friend of mine so I can get to know her better since she seems like a good person, but I still need to talk to her more to make that decision. Most people compare dating to a sea of fish but I prefer the idea of a field of flowers. Instead of wildly casting your net catching a random fish, I like the idea of searching for flowers that interest you and picking them to see if they are the right flower for you. Thats just me though, but Im sure most people will agree with me on that idea

My goal in dating.. Well I want to find someone who loves me just the way I am. And I want to get know that person better and care about him very much before I can even think about getting in a relationship with him.

I've been only in one relationship before and it was actually kind of horrible experience to me. I was almost two years with that guy and he almost always complained something that I was doing wrong, like wearing wrong kind of clothes or something. That was annoying. Then why I was even that long with him although he was annoying? Well maybe I just thought that he might change someday or something.. I don't know. 

But because of that relationship I've decided that I'm not going to date anyone, unless I find someone who doesn't try to change me all the time. I think that everyone should be able to be their own selves, especially when they are with someone who they really care about and maybe want to be with the rest of their lives.

warmaker : my goal is a partner maybe it won't last forever but to make it count to feel like there's someone by my side to have a nice long relationship and to make her happy
