What do you dislike most about dating?

I haven't dated for so very long and when I did I don't remember disliking anything.

I can't relate to most of these. I never did the dating thing. I hung out with friends, and only became 'more than friends' with guys I got to know well through long term friendship. I didn't 'sample' people.

Not having stuff to talk about. I don't mind going out with chatterboxes - being a quiet person myself. Its when there is an awkward silence.

Uncomfortable silences.

Having nothing to talk about has got to be the WORST -- it's so awkward and you know it's probably not going to get any better -- ugh.

The only thing is and this is notalways but I think it should be Dutch more offten, I don't mind paying if my Date can't afford too but if they can they ought to pay their own way. I'm not going to date 3 or 4 times a week and pay for everything, it's not going to happen.

Why would someone date somebody if they had nothing to talk about in the first place?

It was always just so forced and uncomfortable. Glad to be done with it.

Technically speaking I've never dated before.
I think that in a similar situation,finding that the person I'm interested in has kids or his MARRIED (divorced...well where's the problem??)would be the most difficult,mostly because I'm not used to "date" people with wife and kids.
He will never be shorter than me,unless I fell for a guy working at the circus (could happen,but I doubt it!)...
Maybe if he's too shy and doesn't even tries to kiss me it's pretty sure I wouldn't like him much,but well "dislike" is too strong a word.

Maybe I can't get this survey,seeing I don't date in the traditional (American) meaning of the word.

It's impossible we don't have something in common.I wouldn't pick someone so different from me.

The most awkward thing about dating was, sometimes, realizing halfway through the date that this was going nowhere, I could not picture myself with this person long-term, something about them really bothered me, and there was no graceful way out of the rest of the evening. Another horribly uncomfortable thing was trying to build common ground over which to converse when it was painfully clear there was none.

Having nothing to talk about, I guess. In the past, I've mostly enjoyed dating--it's fun having a new person to be all excited about! Dating somene I don't feel excited about it bad, too, I guess.

The presence of the other person on the date with me.
I enjoy doing things by myself rather than with another person: eating out, going to movies, travel, etc. And I'm not interested in sex, romance, a relationship, or marriage with anyone.

The thing I dislike most about dating is not being able to read the other person's mind. I'm fairly laid back, if you just want to go have sex once and never see me again that's fine, if you want to try and build a decent relationship then that's cool too but don't just expect me to know what you're thinking!!

I don't really dislike anything about dating, except maybe the "coming on too strong" thing. It wouldn't be the physical affection aspect so much, although that can sometimes be a little disconcerting, I'm more likely to be bothered by a woman that tries to rush to intimacy, and starts imposing herself into my life too fast; showing up on my doorstep unexpectedly and expecting me to drop everything. I think in the early stages of a relationship, or when dating, it is important to gauge yourself against the other person. It's okay to be a little more aggressive, but one shouldn't be a LOT more aggressive.

I suppose a big part of this is the fact that I tend to be attracted to aggressive women. I like women who have powerful personalities and are confident in themselves. So this is an issue that often comes up for me.

I don't date and haven't for years.

aw, i've never dated before in my life, and i've sometimes felt like a total loser for it. but now that i have looked at advanced stats, and found out that the average age of those people who picked that option was 28, i now fell a lot better about myself. yes, i know, there's a great percentage error and all, but never-the-less, thank you survey central.

Feeling that I'm thought less of because of the way I look.

I've never dated and don't currently think that I'm ever likely to.

when people are dishonest......

I'd imagine that some of these I'd already know... like the fact that he's taller or shorter than me... I doubt I'd start dating someone until we'd already talked, so I doubt I'd discover that we didn't have anything to talk about.

probably what I'd dislike was when he wouldn't put out on the first date

I wish you would have said that in qual... I'd have included that in the options!

For the ones I choose it can depend:

Him still living at home at the age of 40-- There may be a very good reason for this.

Coming on too strong-- Some times I didn't mind it when I was thinking "Sure wish he would kiss me"

Having nothing in common-- Sometimes opposites do get along well.

Nothing to talk about-- There can be peace and contentment in a shared silence.

They talk about themselves-- Good way to get to know them.

For him expecting me to pay-- Well I guess I am more old fashioned and do like it for the man to pay, but there have been times with certain men I went out on a date with I felt more comfortable to go dutch, and times I would like to treat.

Other-- Finding out after the date he is married/engaged/has pregnant girlfriend.

This is a hard one. I guess the think that bothered me the most about dating was being to afraid to hurt people's feelings. I went out with some pretty disgusting guys because I didn't have the guts to say no. I'm sooooo glad I'm not on the dating scene anymore.

I hate blind dates.

I hate that I can't just find some guy to have a one night stand with me and then leave me the heck alone

Dating sucks... especially when you go on a date and all that they want is sex.

Imagine how much worse to go on a date and find they don't want sex.

I dislike having to explain my relationship status("Listen dude, I just wanna fudge, ok? I have love...I have an SO, I just want to use you, ok?") and that every man I date falls madly in love with me and won't just be a one night stand!
Dammit!

Dating is just an act
The absolute worst thing about it is breaking up
Im not a pessimist, i swear

Those are the worst things ever especially when they do nothing but talk about themselves when you didn't ask

Finding out the two of you have nothing in common, which leads to awkward silences and when he comes on too strong, which is when a knee to the groin area comes in handy.

The biggest turn off is someone who comes on way too strong. Take it slow, let it happen, have fun along the way. Guys who want to "fall in love" on the first date scare the hell outta me and send me running in the other direction.

the wait...why wait?...if you are attracted to one another...go for it!
