The Dating thread

[Grenartia]

No, not really.

A fully fledge relationship involves alot more commitment and emotional hardship.

What's the point in commitment and "emotional hardship" in a relationship if there's a 90% chance it won't last long anyway?

For the 10% chance that it does work. That, and even if it does fall under the 90%, you still gain valuable life experience.

Two are better than one.

For a dirty cheat, yes.

Not all instances of having two significant others are instances of cheating. There is such a thing as consensual polyamory, you know.

[Soldati Senza Confini]

One wouldn't 'date' for a single reason.

Oh? And what's that reason, pray mind?

It's only cheating if the girlfriend doesn't approve of it

Oh, it could be anything. But, in my opinion it is silly to enter a serious relationship with one motive.

That's how just about 85% of relationships start.

Ah, I see what you mean here.

Yes, a serious relationship carries several factors into consideration.

My main factor in entering a serious relationship is: am I going to be able to live in peace with said person, besides having feelings for her? And that answer in itself carries several factors.

[Alexanda]

With several motives, it makes it harder to leave the relationship every time something bad happens.

You'd be surprised...

[Soldati Senza Confini]

With several motives, it makes it harder to leave the relationship every time something bad happens.

Actually, I've found that for me it's easier the more breakups I've gone through to leave a relationship with the same amount of emotional investment.

However, the more investment I do put in a relationship you're right, it becomes harder to leave the relationship when shit hits the fan.

Motives to come into consideration are, in my opinion: Money, attraction, loyalty.

[Dyakovo]

Somebody who's not you.

Are you really gonna do this?

Crack jokes? Да.

Pft. Money? Money is only a relevance if you are the sort of person who looks at being well-off via a marriage.

Otherwise it doesn't make much relevance in someone's mind. Certainly it's not in mine.

Attraction and loyalty? It varies.

It seems harsh, but my parents always told me to take money into consideration when finding a partner.

If they're willing to give me 90% of their earnings, they good enough for me.

I'd rather be to the point where me and my partner are financially stable before marriage. I particularly prefer a woman who's got her stuff together though (college education, a career, etc.) or working towards it before dating. It certainly becomes a plus because she doesn't depend on me.

I like my partners independent

I'd rather be a 50/50

Otherwise it'd be a competition between me and my partner to see who gets to call the shots and that wouldn't be nice

[Alexanda]

Both of my parents took money into consideration when they married.

My dad only began looking at finances more seriously after me and my siblings were born

Other than that he has never cared about money, not even when he met my mom. So I guess that's one area where we differ.

Indeed. Actually, I highly doubt my father was too fond of my mother until after they married!

Oh haha you're so funny.

Then why did he marry her?

My dad was fond of my mother even before marrying (while dating, to be more exact).

Although my dad's way of doing things... he directly told my mom "you're marrying me" without them even dating

Most direct statement of the century if it happened that way.

Both sets of my grandparents thought it was a good idea, and, of course, there was money.
Money was the main factor.
