I am nearly thirty and I've never been on a date (by choice). In my religion, you date for marriage, and it has just never appealed to me. I get a lot of strange looks because I'm female.
Here's what i think , and if anyone agrees or not it's up to them , but first of all let me say that once you mix religion into the topic people wont answer because well.. probably forum rules and to not be called names.
1.Once you mix religion so deeply in your life that it makes you actually problems that's ... "your choice" .
2.Dating doesn't / wouldn't appeal to anyone if the condition would be to marry the guy/girl ..because if in 2 weeks/months it can turn out you don't like each other . Besides everyone early show's his best face , the real deal is after 1-2 years that people show who they really are .
3.Try to find a way out : dating doesn't appeal to you because you date for marriage ( no wonder it doesn't see above..
), well than.... if you see / know a guy you like.. go have a walk..talk a lot..and don't call it a "date".
4.If you really like to be alone , you can choose that too , but yeah people are like that that they look at it weird eventually..but it shouldn't bother you if you chose this . .
