Does anyone feel like me and dating wears you out? Especially if your dating history is like mine and you have never had a serious relationship-just weird, meaningless dates! I dated a guy at church 2 months and then he started being verbally abusive so I cut it off. He knew I wanted marriage because when I went to the singles class (he is the teacher) in June I said I was looking for a bigger singles dept. to possibly find a mate. Yet, he went out with me for two months anyway-he knew I was looking for marriage and he wasn't! That was cruel and a waste of my time/emotions/money (will never give a guy money again)! Even in churches people play games. I am 50 never married. I read on another thread here someone said dating is stressful because of how sinful people are. Amen to that! I am not giving up but am not necessarily doing what I did last time with church guy and pursue someone just because they are good looking-I want to find out about their character/reputation first. Any thoughts?
