The longer you go without a relationship, do you become less or more picky in choosing someone to date?

If more picky, would you go on a date just for the experience? I would assume there would be some attraction at least toward your date or would there?

The longer I go without a date the more things I find to do on my own so the less I care. I still have my eyes open however I just don't worry about it and that is usually when I tend to find one, two or more women to date.

I’d say I’ve gotten picker as I’ve gotten older, not really sure about length of time between partners … I don’t think so.

If I were not married at my age I would only be dating without the expectation of forming a LTR. At this point in life I really do not care to take the time or put out the effort needed for a relationship. All I want is to enjoy what time I have left.

I don't think that duration of a dryspell has made me pickier but my age and experience has.

You say you've gotten pickier. What is it you're looking for that doesn't seem to be out there?

I am definitely picky. I'm perfectly content being alone, so I'm not going to let anyone into my life unless I REALLY like them.

I think I have gotten more picky because as I get older I keep learning things about myself and I am more and more in-tune with what I will and will not put up with in a potential mate. And as I get older I also speak my mind more. So yes, I am pickier.

No I don't go on dates for the "practice." I need to see that there may some potential for a LTR in order to continue going out with someone. I am not looking to simply rack up dates.
