how many of you have dated someone just because you were "bored" ... or lonely.

i just recently found out that a guy i dated a good while back only dated me because nobody better was interested in him and he didn't want to be single. i find this cruel.

i'm just curious how many people have actually done something close to this situation?

MANY are guilty of using *btns* Based on experience, conversation, and observation, I'd say women are slightly more guilty of this.


*better than nothing*

people that do this are desperate. i dont understand why someone cant just be single and get over it. i mean, sure we do get lonely... but to the point of settling? it's not my choice.

Date because I'm bored no way, I don't even date when I'm excited.

Never did that, exactly -- when I was younger, I dated (and in some cases, lived with) someone because it was convenient -- but I had to at least think there was something to it....

"Bored" is not a reason to be with somebody -- I can always go read (or write) a book or something --

"Lonely" -- ?? Well, I've been in situations where I was in a relationship and STILL lonely -- so that's not a justification either....

I've never had that experience, but I would just take the incident with that fellow as evidence that 1: you deserve better and 2: he is a complete idiot.

:smile: Not like I have had that many opportunities in life to be either a) truly bored; or b) date

The two have never happened to coincide!

Whenever I am not bored, and not lonely, then I have zero interest in dating.

There is nothing wrong with dating someone because you are bored. Actually making him/her think you are interested when you are not is wrong. If your like on the second or third date, and still doing because you are bored and lonely, there is a problem.

it IS wrong. you are leading the person on for your own entertainment. you are letting them get interested in you when they have no chance. that IS wrong.

no, what I am saying is going on a first date with someone is ok if your bored. You might become "un-bored" rather quickly once you get to know them. Maybe

WHO WOULD EVER DO THAT?!?!?

Stop looking at me... ok fine, but it was better then sitting around the house. You could also be that persons entertainment as well. No, i never take it to a second or third date with anyone unless there is something there.. i'm bored not evil.
