Are you dating?

My last two relationships did a number on me so I'm mainly flying solo. Been seeing a co worker sort of casually and it might go somewhere in the future but I don't have the energy or mental capacity to try and deal with anyone else but myself at the moment.

I think there's a paradox at play because when I was single, I had this urge to be with someone and yet now I've been with my girlfriend almost 2 years, I just want time to myself. I don't dislike her/not love her or anything. I just have this urge to not be around her. Probably made worse by the fact we're both working from home now due to COVID so we literally see each other 24/7.

I honestly liked it better when we were dating but living separately. I would always get my "off" time but now it's "on" 24/7 and it is so draining.

I can relate with these.

I spent the entirety of 2010-2020 having my financials and mental health blasted away by my two exes. I've been single for around 8 months now and not even tried to hook up with anyone or start dating during that time. It's been nice and I'm only just beginning to feel like having somebody in my life again, but like the 2nd quote from supernova8 supernova8 , I suffer from a claustrophobia like sensation in long term relationships.

I'm definitely going to be extremely picky if I do start dating again and may just stay single. Looking at myself, I wouldn't be worth dating right now anyway.

I feel that entirely. The girl I am casually seeing now, like I feel kinda bad because a version of me thats 5 years younger and lot less gun shy from mental abuse of a relationship would be all over a relationship with her. But I can't help how I feel at this point in my life.

I got tired of Trying to make things work for my future and to be where I wanna be with someone and I took it into my own hands to try and become that person strictly on my own. That's where I am at and I don't see that mindset changing in the next few years.
 
That other time I dated... She wanted me to meet her parents... That's a red flag in my book, I dipped. I don't want a serious relationship yet!

Not surprising, her stats are high and she knows it. You've not mentioned anything about her personality. Ironically not being bothered will probably make her pay more attention to you provided you haven't simped out over her selfies already.
She seems fine, for whatever reason I feel like nuking this.

I'm not dating nor do I really plan to. That seems so draining to me. If I were married or in a serious relationship I wouldn't have nice things. Bitches always complain and call stuff "toys".

I'm dating this beautiful black goddess.

How do you handle the women who are looking to get serious?
