also just FYI not everyone has to get married eventually.....

Yes, I don't think you know a person enough to decide you want to marry them already when you date for the first time. There are people who like to date around and meet a lot of people and that's okay. I'm the type to stay exclusive to one person.

 

[Fleshy]

also this poll should be multiple choice, personally id pick the first three (idk about marriage though).

 

[DarkDesertFox]

Yes and no... I would think a lot of people who date while they're in school (aside from college) aren't going to get into anything serious and are just in it for the experience. They have their whole lives ahead of them. In general, if you have no long term plans with the person but you know your partner might, it's best to back out of the relationship before someone gets hurt.

I voted "If you have potential interest in them and want to know them better"
If you get to really know them and want to be with them, you could possibly marry

ive never been on a date where i think about a long term future with the person tbh, it's mostly just cause i've liked them and wanted to get to know them a bit better so option 2 for me. anyone i've been on a date with i haven't known that well (most of my relationships have developed from friendships idk) so it'd be dumb to think too deeply about it (at the same time i wouldn't date like any random for fun lol)

Yes, roofies in my pocket and a cab to vegas waiting out the door.

Nah, fam. You need something to make them agreeable so they can consent and sign the license.

I'm actually with you OP. I'm quite traditional about relationships and find casual dating to be really trashy.

I didn't know my boyfriend of 3 and a half years at all the first time we hung out. We played video games and were kind of awkward with each other xD but we decided pretty quick that we liked each other, started dating, and we're absolutely perfect for each other. But I'm the kind of person that knows what qualities I like on people, and so is he so it wasn't hard for me to figure out if we were good for each other.

In my opinion, you can do whatever you want as long as it's mutual. I wouldn't want to go on dates with someone I was interested in romantically only to find out they were only doing it as friends. I'd stop talking to them.

This is a fairly close subject to me because someone I used to know cheated on his girlfriend with me, and I didn't know he had a girlfriend. When I found out I told him never to talk to me ever again even after being friends for over a year.

i think people can date for any reasons they want to, as long as they're being honest about the nature of the relationship i see no problem.

 

[radical6]

I only date people who I see marrying potential in.

 

[Ayaya]

I feel like dating is just to get to know each other better & try out the relationship, it doesn't have to end up in marriage nor should you expect it to end in marriage. Some people might like the dating part but not ready for the responsibility that comes with marriage, and going straight to marriage might not end well if you two don't know each other well enough and end up not matching each other.

It's always good to discuss with your partner what you're hoping for in the relationship and what direction you want to go, and if you change your mind halfway, you can discuss again and decide whether to keep the relationship or break it off.

I think it's fine to just date for fun just because but for me I'll only date if I can see myself with that person for a long time.

 

[Ichigo.]

idc people can do whatever makes them happy; it's just a personal thing. and for your specific scenario, it sounds absolutely fine as long as its mutually known? personally, i don't do dates unless i see potential for a relationship to grow but that's just because i'm too serious/logical and it's not "fun" for me with how my personality is. i wouldn't say i'm as serious as to think about relationships in terms of marriage but i'm definitely a long term person.

 

[vexnir]

Dating for fun? Oh yeah, let's play with an another person's feelings, that's so fun.

In other words, hell no.

 

[kayleee]

Well dating is supposed to be fun. The whole point of dating is to find out if someone is marriage/long term partnership material or not. Good luck "only dating someone you would marry" how would you know if you would marry them before you even start dating them like what

 

[Bwazey]

In the end, just do what makes you happy

Everybody has their own preferences when it comes to something like this. Even if it's not considered the "norm" or dating.

 

[Irelia]

I wouldn't date for fun because of all the effort you have to put into a relationship that won't matter in the end
seems like a waste of time to me D;

i'm just a lazy person though
