People who have “given up” on dating and relationships. Why?

Ladkiyo ka demand sunkar😥

Takes too much time to really build rapport and trust with an individual. Especially after coming out of a longish relationship, it feels too daunting to build up history with someone new all over again

I'll add mine too After an age, life has moulded into a definite shape. Allowing someone will invite more clashes. Protecting (whatever) peace we have.

Breakup happened in my 5yr relationship cuz her feelings died down If this can happen after 5 yrs, then what is the point of anything

Yahan career aur job hai gaand lagi padi hai, dating kahan se karen. Ye BC kya paise dekh ke tech mai aa gaye, mechanical evergreen branch sahi thi 😂

Have been on dating spree. Just not getting anyone who can match the vibe. Dating apps are a sham. I’m going to optimize for the offline route now. It’s just weird to do anything offline these days

Getting attached to someone, trusting them, investing so much energy, loving them so much only to receive none back, giving them so much support only to be alone when it's their turn, having so many expectations only to see them shattered, sacrificing time and your value for them just to see them turn into strangers? No, I would not be able to handle heartbreak. Also therapy is expensive

Had read the phrase in some old text. "नारी नारी ना कर बालक, नारी नर्क का द्वार।। खुश भी होगी तो क्या देगी, xx का द्वार।।" It hadn't resonated that time, now after broken heart, have decided to not actively find dates.

I believe the entire catch is in actively looking. When you obsessively seek out “love” or “women” to date you make obvious blunders. You loose your ability to say NO to the red flags (however small either talk it out or say NO, never let them slide by) But once, you’re chill, you’re on your own journey and you have found your solace and happiness (aka hobbies, routine, fixed other close personal relationships- family, friends etc) then you can let another person in your A-Team (goes w/o saying other person should be sorted in the aforementioned manner). You can foster love and relationship in chaos, you can cruise thru chaos if you have a strong relationship. But, you must foster that relationship when the waters are SUPER f##king CALM!

I seem to attract extroverts (because I'm mostly an introvert), but I can't have long term relationships with them. Heart-broken a few times, broke a few hearts too. Don't want more of either. Realised monogamy is difficult for me, but I'm not really into random hookups either because demisexual. Choosing to be a hermit for now. Enough work on my plate.

Koi pat ti hi nahi hai

Relationship!! Vo kya hota hai??

chutiya dikhta hu

Guys texting first and then playing hard to get

Too much generational debt 😅. Can't see getting out of it anytime soon, so don't want to drag someone else into my life and deal with any other additional issues that may come up.

Less Bakchodi and drama. Prioritising peace of mind

Sometimes I feel it’s just about luck and being at the right place at right time. My ex GF who had a relationship with me, on and off for 7 years cheated on me multiple times, gave me a lot of BT, so I decided to just end it and not take her shit any more. Then I moved to another city for work, met a wonderful girl, became close friends, went out a couple of times, but she already had a BF, I even confessed to her what I felt about her, so that didn’t happen either. Like a girl now, but she seems to be very shy and reticent sometimes, doesn’t really open up a lot, and since this scene is in office, I’m playing it safe. Apologies for not being modest here, but, I am quite good looking, maybe a little healthy, intelligent, articulate, in the sense that I can speak and write really well and lastly earn quite well. However, I may come out as nerdy sometimes and don’t know to play games, maybe that explains why I have been single since a year and a half, and hence, almost gave up on dating and relationships.

Just asking guys ,anyone into ONS or FWB ? I heard it's lots happening especially in IT

Many are just in for short term and not serious. In short, no trust
