[CHAT] Talking about Dating
Whether you're struggling to find someone who has a different level of commitment or struggling to find someone who you just click with we know the process of dating can be tiresome sometimes.
Because we all wish we were like Jake here...
Come join us at 7:30pm on Monday, June 4th for a chat about all things Dating!
It's a very nice idea that things like this happen. people should be able to meet other people and feel comfortable and find the necessary level of acceptance and commitment they want. I mean I am a person who is a member of a more exotic type of community and it seems like a lot of people are trying to be a part of it now. So for my personal preference I use online apps (My favorite one at the moment is : https://datingappsadvice.com/kinkd-dating-app-review-bdsm-dating-life.app) for people who share my interested in the kink and submission. If you want to you can see it.
Hmm i think taking your time and not rushing into the relationship would be a tip.
First Question:
What's something you look for in a potential relationship? Do you want to be friend's with them first? Must they like cats? Have the same beliefs/religion as you?
Some really awesome things that we're looking for 🙂
2. How can others support you in being single/in a relationship? (which is applicable to you, or you can answer both)
2. Very interesting question. I don't know actually, I guess just be supportive of them?
As someone who is single limit the PDA! I do not want to see you guys kissing each other non stop, or stroking each others hands while holding them, I mean a bit is ok but don't show off to others that you are in love.
I would also say for those who are in relationships to remember your single friends and not just do things with your couple friends.
Time for question 3 🙂
What's something good about not being in a relationship?
Next Question!
Do you ever have days where you feel down about being single - what are some ways you manage them?
Do you ever have days where you feel down about being single - what are some ways you manage them?
I do. For me I try to firstly accept the fact I'm upset about it. I then might do some self-care and then talk to a friend or visit someone.
I find when I feel down about being single I'm lacking human interaction and contact, so I try to soak some up asap to help me feel a bit better 🙂
I also like to remind myself that I'm not quite ready for a relationship right now. Relationships require a lot of work to keep them going and in a positive place. So I remind myself that right now I don't have the headspace to cope with that, and that one day that will change 🙂
#5. Are there any past relationships you look back on and feel relieved about ending? Why/why not?
I've had near relationships but we won't go there...
Last question for the night guys
@lokifish@LeoTheLion@ErinsAntics@Bee@Eagle
Do you have any tips for navigating the dating process and finding the 'right' one?
Do you have any tips for navigating the dating process and finding the 'right' one?
I guess being yourself and staying true to yourself. If they don't like you for you are, then they really aren't worth your time 🙂
Thanks for an awesome chat everyone that has joined in!
& Thank you to @ErinsAntics & @scared01 for helping to facilitate the chat! Absolute legends!
Chocolate and funny movies 🙂 I also surround myself with people who are single and not tied down.
I make sure to acknowledge my feelings and remind myself that it's ok to feel down about being single.
I do get down about being single some days because i feel abit lonley and would like some companionship. Sometimes i think having someone with me would be helpful in being more 'ok'
What's something good about not being in a relationship?
uh, that is a good question. I guess I have time to myself and I can do what I need to, to look after myself.
"What's something good about not being in a relationship?
For me something good about being single is i can focus on myself. My mh amd physical conditions take up alot of my time, energy and brain capacity so right now im more foccussed on getting well or more managed in all areas of health so that i can have time for a relationship and be able to be 'me' not my conditions
2. How can others support you in being single/in a relationship? (which is applicable to you, or you can answer both)
I'm single so for me, people can support me right now in accepting that I'm not ready for a romantic relationship right now. Really just being a friend 🙂
When the time comes I know it'll probably be a bit challenging to get used, to so just being there to listen and help me through the challenges I may face.
One of my friends in engaged and when we catch up there are times that she needs to vent about things that come with living with her fiance and daughter and her in-laws, and I listen. Sometimes I might be able to provide a different way to look at it or just reassure her that her feelings are valid 🙂
1. Definitely friends first. I want my partner to be my best friend. I mean who doesn't like animals right? I wouldn't trust them if they didn't lol. Having the same beliefs would be nice because you won't have arguments about certain things but it's not necessary. Having different opinions brings up great topics to talk about with them. Having said that, opposites attract BUT they don't last.
