Dating is about different things at different ages

• Dating is an activity with a variety of purposes. For young people just beginning to participate in this activity, dating may be seen primarily or exclusively in recreational terms, devoted simply to testing one’s attractiveness to the opposite sex and having fun, as the term “dating game” implies. However, eventually dating relationships tend to become more sustained and serious, and at some point, dating begins to be seen more directly in terms of the goal of selecting a mate. Martin King Whyte

At its heart, dating is the urge to connect

• The urge to connect with others, and to love and be loved, is ageless and universal. No matter what your age, lifestyle, or personality, whether you’re seeking a one-night fling, a whirlwind weekend, a summer romance, or a lifetime love, dating is the way to find it! Alison Blackman Dunham
• Connection

Dating is a chance to evaluate if someone is right for you …

• Since you are “in the market,” you need to set standards of what you are seeking in a partner and in a relationship. Dating is not simply a prelude to a committed relationship or marriage. Dating is an opportunity to evaluate whether the person you are dating is a good candidate for you. You need to pay attention to your partner’s positive and negative characteristics. Ask yourself whether you could live with this person for the rest of your life. David Price
• I don’t understand dating.. and the other things that people do.. all I know is that you ought to find the one you recognize. The one who gives you four arms, four legs, four eyes, and has the other half of your heart. There’s only one of those, so what are all the other things for? Like dating? JoyBell C.
• I’ve been dating since I was fifteen. I’m exhausted. Where is he? Kristin Davis
• Most if not all of your relationships will begin with some potential. But as you continue to date, you are likely to learn things about some of your potential partners that indicate that you are not a perfect match. Since dating is more a process of elimination than of selection, this is a common dating experience. Alison Blackman Dunham
• Whenever I date a guy, I think, “Is this the man I want my children to spend their weekends with? Rita Rudner
• From the minute we’re born, boys and girls stare at each other, trying to figure out if they like what they see. Like parade lines, passing each other for mutual inspection. You march, you look. You march, you look. If you’re interested, you stop and talk, and if it doesn’t work out, you just get back in the parade. You keep marching, and you keep looking. Paul Reiser

… to ultimately find the right person to develop a longer-term relationship with and perhaps even marry

• Courtship before marriage is too often like a brilliant short preface before a dull, ill-written, lengthy book. Eliza Cook
• Habits and attitudes established during the dating years generally carry over into marriage. Myles Munroe
• Successful dating is not a destination, but rather it is a journey. This journey can either continue as marriage or friendship. Noah Mitchell
• There will never be a good time, financially, to get married, unless you’re Shaq or Ray Romano. But somehow people manage. If your man is using money as an excuse not to marry you, it’s your relationship that’s insecure, not his bank account. Greg Behrendt
• Dating is not supposed to be torture. It’s not supposed to be a series of hoops, each one higher and smaller than the last, some of them ringed in fire, that we jump through to reach the nirvana of marriage. Rachel Safier
• Marriage

.

Dating is about sex

• Dating is really all about sex. In the conventional context, this means that the man invites the woman to go through a social encounter, the ultimate purpose of which is sexual engagement. Alexander Mccall Smith
• A major difficulty with our theoretical understanding of dating is that we simply do not appreciate the purpose of the entire encounter. If we see it for what it really is–a courtship ritual–then we can identify the deep structures of the ritual, and that enables us to detect what is really going on. So dating is really all about sex. Alexander Mccall Smith
• If you don’t want to tear off the clothes of the person you’re on a date with and jump into bed with them, then what’s the point? I’d never date; instead, I’d have lots of good friends and hug them a lot and life would be easier and neater and uncomplicated. Rachel Machacek
• We men are very simple people: if we like what we see, we’re coming over there. If we don’t want anything from you, we’re not coming over there. Period. Please highlight this part right here so you can always remind yourself the next time a man steps to you: a man always wants something. Always. And when it comes to women, that plan is always to find out two things: (1) if you’re willing to sleep with him, and (2) if you are, how much it will cost to get you to sleep with him. Steve Harvey
• Most men are the same. They’re only interested in fucking you and they don’t care whether you’re happy or sad. They just want to get on with their business in and out of bed, and they make you feel that you don’t count except as their sex toy. Cameron Diaz
• Sexuality

.

Dating is about trying to find love

• Hope for love, pray for love, wish for love, dream for love…but don’t put your life on hold waiting for love. Mandy Hale
• Love, love, love — all the wretched cant of it, masking egotism, lust, masochism, fantasy under a mythology of sentimental postures, a welter of self-induced miseries and joys, blinding and masking the essential personalities in the frozen gestures of courtship, in the kissing and the dating and the desire, the compliments and the quarrels which vivify its barrenness. Germaine Greer
• Love

.

For some, dating is about conquest

• All men love to have difficulties to conquer in courtship. Samuel Richardson
• A man fishes for two reasons: he’s either sport fishing or fishing to eat, which means he’s either going to try to catch the biggest fish he can, take a picture of it, admire it with his buddies and toss it back to sea, or he’s going to take that fish on home, scale it, fillet it, toss it in some cornmeal, fry it up, and put it on his plate. This, I think, is a great analogy for how men seek out women. Steve Harvey

.

Dating is about asking her out

• The most difficult part of dating is the initial invitation. Janell L. Carroll
• The thing about dating is that it’s hardly ever called a date. It’s “let’s hang out,” “let’s get together,” “let’s get some food,” or “let’s go get some beers.” Those are all ways of asking someone out for a date. Sylvia Howell

.

Dating is about waiting for that call

• There’s nothing like that feeling of waiting for a guy. It’s the loneliest feeling in the world. Holding that cell phone in your hand as you take out the trash, use the bathroom, change the litter box. Fearful that the one second you aren’t looking will be when they call. Pathetic. And something I have done as recently as last week. Hilary Winston

.

Dating is about deciding if and when to kiss

• If you kiss on the first date and it’s not right, then there will be no second date. Sometimes it’s better to hold out and not kiss for a long time. I am a strong believer in kissing being very intimate, and the minute you kiss, the floodgates open for everything else. Jennifer Lopez
• Always remember this: ‘A kiss will never miss, and after many kisses a miss becomes a misses’. John Lennon
• Kissing

.

.

For many, dating is something to endure rather than something fun

• Because dating is a human exercise, it can be a tightrope fraught with danger. You will be dating imperfect people, and some of them are more imperfect than others. In addition, you are not perfect either, so that complicates the picture. Henry Cloud
• Dating is a battleground filled with deception and infidelity. Andrew S. Trees
• Dating is not supposed to be torture. It’s not supposed to be a series of hoops, each one higher and smaller than the last, some of them ringed in fire, that we jump through to reach the nirvana of marriage. Rachel Safier
• Everybody knows the pressure of a first date: Searching for that perfect outfit. Hunting for ways to be engaging. Dissecting each detail when it’s over to check for mistakes. Dating can make even the most confident person lose his cool. Kelly Starling
• For some, dating is best described as an experience to endure until you meet someone to take you out of the meet market. Alison Blackman Dunham
• Dating is just awkward moments and one person wants more than the other. It’s just that constant strangeness. I think it’s a very real thing. Jason Schwartzman
• I had a lot of dates but I decided to stay home and dye my eyebrows. Andy Warhol
• Only married people think dating is fun…. You have a sweet nostalgic notion that dating is happy and charming, and fluttery first-date feeling. In real life … dating is like playing Russian roulette with humans. You could meet a nice guy who doesn’t want to tie you up (much), or you could meet that crazy guy who secretly posts ads on Craigslist looking for a woman to pee on him. Laurie Perry

.

Dating is like an audition or interview

• In its purest form, dating is auditioning for mating (and auditioning means we may or may not get the part). Joy Browne
• Dating is pressure and tension. What is a date, really, but a job interview that lasts all night? Jerry Seinfeld

.

Dating can often hurt …

• It takes half the amount of time you dated someone to get over them. Sex and the City
• There is so much hurt in this game of searching for a mate, of testing, trying. And you realize suddenly that you forgot it was a game, and turn away in tears. Sylvia Plath

.

… especially due to the fear and pain of rejection

• I wondered what happened when you offered yourself to someone, and they opened you, only to discover you were not the gift they expected and they had to smile and nod and say thank you all the same. Jodi Picoult
• I’m terrified of getting involved with someone who disappoints me or leaves me empty and alone. I’m terrified of rejection, so I set my expectations so high that they can never be met, and I dig around with a magnifying glass looking for flaws in very person I date. There’s always a flaw to exploit, and I’ll find it so I never have to get too close. Rachel Machacek
• Fear,  Rejection

.

Dating is not always the best way to get to know someone

• Dating is not a great way to “really get to know someone.” Why? Because everyone is on best behaviour during a date. If you really want to get to know someone, watch the person at school every day, or both of you get a job together at McDonald’s. Eight straight hours over a hot greaser full of fries will tell you the real tale. Blaine Bartel

.

Others argue dating really isn’t so bad

• Dating isn’t fun. It’s not always awful, mind you, and sometimes your date will do something unexpected and lovely, like open the door for you and pretend that he likes cats. But the most valuable reason to embark upon a dating spree is for the wisdom–and the great stories. Laurie Perry

.

.

Dating is an excellent opportunity to exercise social skills and learn about yourself

• Dating is a place to practice how to relate to other people. Henry Cloud
• Even brief dating encounters can be pleasant and rewarding. They provide an opportunity to exercise one’s social skills and validate one’s style of relating to the opposite sex. As discussed earlier, dating experience can expand knowledge, add insight, and maintain self- confidence in coping with sexual and love relationships. Being liked, appreciated, and admired is flattering and a boost to one’s morale even when the encounter has no continuity. Dating is a distinctive social context within which to express one’s personality and outlook on life outside of work or family relations. Linda P. Rouse
• The key to successful dating is … rather than focusing solely on finding and winning over that one and only right person, use this time in your life to learn about yourself and about relationships and to become a better partner. Being single can offer a unique advantage in the pursuit of good relationships. You have the opportunity to step back, take an inventory, learn and grow, and be far more ready for a healthy relationship. Instead of leaping headlong into the next romance, slow down and make some personal discoveries that will increase your chances of having your future relationships be more successful. Nina Atwood

.

Approach dating with curiosity and an open mind

• Think of this date as a first step. Dating is a process and it takes time. Sure, you’d like to find instant chemistry, mutual attraction, and common interests. That’s the ideal. But there are many other possible outcomes. If you approach the situation with curiosity rather than rigid expectations, you’ll be less likely to be disappointed. Sharon Romm, Dating After 50
• Curiosity,  Open-mindedness

.

Date consciously

• Most of us don’t stop to think about what to look for in the dating process, and yet the choice of who to go out with and continue dating is probably one of the most important decisions we’ll ever make in our lives. It is also, all too often, one of the most unconscious choices made. Nina Atwood

.

Be yourself on your dates

• Dating is a lot about looking good, trying to impress someone, and putting forth your best foot. There is nothing wrong with that, as after you know someone better, you are more comfortable allowing yourself to be seen for who you are. It’s another thing, however, to put forward a foot that is not yours. Henry Cloud
• Dating is about finding out who you are and who others are. If you show up in a masquerade outfit, neither is going to happen. Henry Cloud
• Often romantic relationships fail because you are trying to get someone to fall in love with the YOU that you never discovered. Shannon L. Alder
• What’s the point of changing who you are in order to impress a woman, when your intention is to return to who you were, a person she was never attracted to in the first place? Richelle E. Goodrich

.

Have faith the right person is out there for you

• Dating is about casting a wide net. It’s about having faith that there is someone out there for you and knowing you can help him find you. Laura Doyle
• Let’s start with this statistic: You are delicious. Be brave, my sweet. I know you can get lonely. I know you can crave companionship and sex and love so badly that it physically hurts. But I truly believe that the only way you can find out that there’s something better out there is to first believe there’s something better out there. What other choice is there? Greg Behrendt
• Someday you’ll have someone worth holding on to… Someone who won’t ever want to let you go…Someone who won’t make you wonder if they were the one who got away, because that someone will be right there beside you, thanking the other someone who let you get away. Joy Maniscalco

.

Focus as much on being the right person as finding the right person

• Love is more about being the right person than finding the right person. Barbara Bartlei
• My boyfriend used to ask his mother, ‘How can I find the right woman for me?’ and she would answer, ‘Don’t worry about finding the right woman- concentrate on becoming the right man.’ David DeAngelo

.

If you’re not right for yourself, it’s impossible to be right for someone

• I believe with all my heart that the clichés are true, that we are our own best friends and best company, and that if you’re not right for yourself, it’s impossible to be right for anyone. Rachel Machacek
• It is the same way with dating. The time you are most prepared for dating is when you don’t need anyone to complete you, fulfil you, or instil in you a sense of worth or purpose. Myles Munroe
• When you’re looking for someone, you’re looking for some aspect of yourself, even if you don’t know it … What we’re searching for is what we lack. Sam Shepard

.

Make dating part of your life

• Dating should be a part of your life, not your life a part of dating. There is more to life than finding a date. But at the same time, dating is a part of your life, and if your “traffic patterns” don’t include new people, they are not serving that part of your life. Henry Cloud

.

Date many, not just one

• Dating is meant to be temporary. You don’t want to be friends with just one person. You don’t want to learn only one person’s interests, ways, or habits. You don’t want to discover how you react to just one person. Dating one person is like trying one new food. Pizza’s great, but if you never tried anything else, you’d never know how supper hamburgers and hot dogs and tacos and chop suey are. Carole Marsh

.

Remember you’re never limited to one person

• I’ve found that when you’re wrapped up in the process of dating and want so badly to have something work out with someone -anyone- it’s easy to forget that your choices aren’t limited to one person or the other. There’s also the choice I always forget about: To not choose anyone in order to keep myself open to someone who IS right for me. Rachel Machacek

.

Go slowly

• Hurry not a woman’s favour; neither forcer her hastily to surrender to thee. For she goeth into love as she goeth into the waters at the seashore; first a hand and then a lip goeth she in by littles. She diveth not, she leapeth not from the pier; but by gentle shocks and cries of protest she entereth slowly; yet when the waters of love encompass her, then she is supported. She swimmeth in her joy; she floateth on the tide of happiness. Gelett Burgess, The Maxims of Methuselah
• Pushing for promises, when the person you’re dating is reluctant or unsure, is a recipe for disaster. A relationship has to evolve at a speed that causes the least discomfort to the person going the slowest. Sharon Romm

.

Evaluate your date by what they do, not say

• It took a long time, but I’ve finally figured it out. When it comes to men who are romantically interested in you, it’s really simple. Just ignore everything they say and only pay attention to what they do. Randy Pausch

.

Don’t be afraid to make mistakes

• We look down our noses at people who’ve made mistakes in relationships. She’s so stupid! How could she do that! Our superiority makes us feel better. But I’d bet everything I have on the fact that people to claim to have a perfect record in love are either lying or have very limited dating experience. People who say, I’d never do that! Someday, unless you are very, very lucky, you’ll have a story to tell. Or not to tell. Deb Caletti

.

Don’t be afraid to try Internet dating

• Dating is a numbers game, and online dating has the best odds. Judsen Culbreth
• Internet dating is the fastest, most efficient way to gather a pool of qualified candidates. It could take you a lifetime to do the investigation that the computer comes up with in seconds. Judsen Culbreth
• One good thing about Internet dating: you’re guaranteed to click with whomever you meet.
• One of the strengths of Internet dating is that it’s anonymously impersonal, which helps take the sting out of rejection. If you’re interested in someone who notices your profile or you’re intrigued by a computer-generated match, let the e-mail begin. If you’re not interested, delete the e-mail with about the same level of remorse you’d feel from dumping jellyfish overboard. Judsen Culbreth
• Online dating is just as murky and full of lemons as finding a used car in the classifieds. Once you learn the lingo, it’s easier to spot the models with high mileage and no warranty. Laurie Perry

.

Be quick to discard someone if they are not right for you …

• You picked a lemon, throw it away. Lemonade is overrated. Freaks should remain at the circus, not in your apartment. You already have one asshole. You don’t need another. Make a space in your life for the glorious things you deserve. Have faith.  Greg Behrendt
• All discarded lovers should be given a second chance, but with somebody else. Mae West
• Never love someone beneath your level of evolution. If you want a monkey, you can visit one at your local zoo. Shannon L. Alder

.

… rather than wasting their time

• I don’t understand the whole dating thing. I know right off the bat if I’m interested in someone, and I don’t want them to waste their money on me and take me out to eat if I know I’m not interested in that person. Britney Spears
• If you don’t feel the same way about him, if you’re just leading him on, you need to tell him that. I’ve seen too many nice guys get shafted because a girl can’t get over some jerk. Nenia Campbell

.

If he doesn’t make the effort, cut your losses

• If he’s not calling you, it’s because you are not on his mind. If he creates expectations for you, and then doesn’t follow through on little things, he will do same for big things. Be aware of this and realize that he’s okay with disappointing you. Don’t be with someone who doesn’t do what they say they’re going to do. If he’s choosing not to make a simple effort that would put you at ease and bring harmony to a recurring fight, then he doesn’t respect your feelings and needs. “Busy” is another word for “asshole.” “Asshole” is another word for the guy you’re dating. You deserve a fcking phone call. Greg Behrendt
• I’m about to make a wild, extreme and severe relationship rule: the word busy is a load of crap and is most often used by assholes. The word “busy” is the relationship Weapon of Mass Destruction. It seems like a good excuse, but in fact in every silo you uncover, all you’re going to find is a man who didn’t care enough to call. Remember men are never to busy to get what they want. Greg Behrendt

.

Dating is about give and take

• Dating is a give and take. If you only see it as “taking,” you are not getting it. Henry Cloud

.

Dating is a numbers game

• Dating is a numbers game, and online dating has the best odds. Judsen Culbreth
• Internet dating is the fastest, most efficient way to gather a pool of qualified candidates. It could take you a lifetime to do the investigation that the computer comes up with in seconds. Judsen Culbreth
• Dating is primarily a numbers game…. People usually go through a lot of people to find good relationships. That’s just the way it is. Henry Cloud

.

Dating gets better with practice

• Dating is like using the treadmill. If you don’t do it often enough, you might as well not do it at all. Beverly Grossman

.

Food is an essential part of dating

• There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted. Judith Martin
• There are three ways you can get along with a girl: one, shut up and listen to what she has to say; two, tell her you like what she’s wearing; and three, treat her to really good food…If you do all that and still don’t get the results you want, better give up. Haruki Murakami
• Whenever I want a really nice meal, I start dating again. Susan Healy

.

More advice for dating

• The formula I’ve figured out: Stop being so damn picky and let go of the mental image of an ideal; talk to more strangers, because it builds confidence and helps you feel more connected; be open to every opportunity, and when you do meet someone you like, keep dating around. And there’s the mother of all lessons-the one I’m still working on: follow your instincts and even if you’re wrong about him (or her), you’ll know better for the next time. Rachel Machacek

.

.

Here are some dating analogies

• Dating is like trying to make a meal out of leftovers. Some leftovers actually get better when they’ve had a little time to mature. But others should be thrown out right away, No matter how you try to warm them up, they’re never as good as when they were new. Lisa Kleypas
• Dating is like searching for the perfect wine. One date is too fruity, another too dry, and still another too much bouquet (cologne overdose). But once you find the perfect variety that suits your taste, get drunk. Katie Kosko

.

Thoughts on dating and sex

• A guy can just as easily dump you if you fuck him on the first date as he can if you wait until the tenth. Kim Cattrall
• A man on a date wonders if he’ll get lucky. The woman already knows. Monica Piper
• Women become attached to men through the favours they grant them, but men are cured of their love through those same favours. Jean De La Bruyère
• Sexuality

.

What celebrities have to say about dating

• What’s nice about my dating life is that I don’t have to leave my house. All I have to do is read the paper: I’m marrying Richard Gere, dating Daniel Day-Lewis, parading around with John F. Kennedy, Jr., and even Robert De Niro was in there for a day. Julia Roberts
• Rumours about me? Calista Flockhart, Pam Anderson, and Matt Damon. That’s who I’m dating. Ben Affleck
• When I’m single, I don’t focus. I focus on a guy if he’s a boyfriend, but I don’t focus on finding a boyfriend. They’re never around when you want them. Scarlett Johansson

.

Some have become jaded about dating

• Dating: The process of spending enormous amounts of money, time, and energy to get better acquainted with a person whom you don’t especially like in the present and will learn to like a lot less in the future.

Thoughts on dating and friendship

• Maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates and guys are just people to have fun with. Candace Bushnell
• Friend: A member of the opposite sex in your acquaintance who has some flaw which makes sleeping with him/her totally unappealing.
• Successful dating is not a destination, but rather it is a journey. This journey can either continue as marriage or friendship. Noah Mitchell
• If you don’t want to tear off the clothes of the person you’re on a date with and jump into bed with them, then what’s the point? I’d never date; instead, I’d have lots of good friends and hug them a lot and life would be easier and neater and uncomplicated. Rachel Machacek
