I only recently started dating, because I looked around at my life and thought, hmmm, I think I would like to share it with someone. Prior to that evaluation I had no interest in pursuing anything serious, so when people would ask me, "why aren't you dating" I would quite honestly say, "I am quite happy as a single gal and living it up!"

I'm trying to figure out the right response to people who question me about dating. It keeps coming up, as I suppose I can expect and it's with good intentions I'm sure. Or it's at least because I have people who are interested in how or what I'm doing.

I pushed myself to go out a bit early in the year and I actually made a new year's resolution to see more people this year than last year. (...like 3) I feels wrong when I'm just not that into it. I don't want to be dishonest and that's how I feel when I talk to someone who is actively looking for a relationship. I suppose on some level I am too, deep, deep down, but I don't want to waste anyone's time or hurt anyone (unnecessarily) in the process.

It doesn't seem to matter how I answer when I'm questioned about it. People want to push me to try. Maybe I need to just have a more 'I'm not willing to discuss it' attitude. That's just not really my style. I am willing to discuss it. I'm just don't want to be judged is the thing I guess.

As for what exactly to say... Currently, the best that I have come up with is: "I just can't see how it will make my life better." And I have to say that it isn't coming from a place of negativity. I really do have a lot of wonderful things and wonderful people in my life.
Dating is a wast of time and engery
