Juju... you sound a lot like me. I have very little experience dating as well... have been long term relationship girl my entire life. I had this idea that I would date a bunch of people and not get too attached to anyone. So...I had dates with eight different guys...all of whom were really nice and I think pretty decent people. Six of them I did not want a second date with, one became a friend and the last one, the only one I had decided beforehand would NOT be a boyfriend but I’d meet “for fun” is the guy I’ve been seeing. I haven’t been on the dating websites since our third date so this fantasy I had of being a modern woman and dating multiple people went straight out the window. Honestly...it is just not who I am and I think it would be way too much work.
I know what you mean about it being fun and a good distraction. It was exactly what I needed to remind me that there are other men out there who would find me attractive and vice versa. It was a real eye opener. So...have fun, be safe and pay attention to that inner voice of yours. (((HUGS)))
