Maybe I’m just immature but I will never understand hookup culture or dating just to date

Hookups I get, but committing myself emotionally to someone I don’t plan to spend an indefinite amount of time with is beyond me. Just get a fuck buddy or friend atp

well dating can be enjoyable just to spend time with someone you enjoy even if you’re not certain if there’s a future with them. it’s valuing the journey not just the destination

i just date to date and i don’t date to marry because i don’t see myself marrying the first person i date and i was correct on that. however, if i date someone for long enough and i want to get married to them i’ll have that conversation but i’m also 23 and don’t want to be married until i’m 30 and i don’t want to be engaged until i’m at least 27-28.

I only do hookups because I can’t find someone long term and so I’m unfortunately settling for what temporary “affection” I can get

so honestly it really depends on the person and who you talk to about this.

I think this is fair, but I think I’d only date someone if I saw a potential future with them
