should I date

[Flute56]

A bloke I dont find attractive has asked me out. We have nothng in common but I have no other opeion and I want to feel special and this bloke complements me no end.

No other bloke has asked me out so I may as well go out with this man and feel special. He does not live near me but is preapred to drive almost an hour to meet me.

Don't do it. You'll end in a relationship you don't really want and it will be a waste of time you could have spent with one you actually like.

Why just so you can feel special ?
What’s the point in that if he’s driving an hour to go on a date he’s not driving for nothing.
Do you want sex with him ?
He will want sex with you!

You don't find him attractive and you've nothing in common so what's the point in going on a date with him? It's not fair to either you or him.

Don't sell yourself short, wait until you meet someone you are attracted to.

Maybe I would be selling myself short. It would be a wasted evening and I would be bored. All I would get out of it would be a meal in a restaurant

Poor guy. Don’t be horrible

Yeh don’t use someone to make yourself feel better; If you was a guy posting this you would get your arse handed to you

😂

I guess it would be using him. I used to do this when I was a teenager. I dated this guy when I was 19. I did not really like him but he was my friends boyfriends friend and we all sort of hung round together. This guy kept asking me out and in the end I gave in. At the age o 19 I had never had a boyfriend beore so I went along with it so that I could be like my friend and have a boyfriend and when I finally gave in, the only good feeling I had was that I could say to myself and others, I now have a boyfriend and it felt good to say to people oh I am going out with my boyfriend tonight etc. We dated for about three months and in the end I could put up with it no longer and we split up. I felt nothing for him and felt like I was just using him for the sake of having a boyfriend.

This time I am a grown adult and you would think I would have grown up and become wiser. hey ho. I am not going to pursue this one though as tempting as it is..

And for the record someone asked i I want to have sex with him and the answer would be no. To accept a date with someone you have no feelings for is one thing, but having sex with them as well would be just below the belt and I could not stoop that low

You'll end up feeling worse about yourself not better. You would be using him, getting his hopes up, and all because you like the attention. What happens when he wants sex if you really don't even like him? You are being incredibly shallow and not very nice to him, the poor guy deserves to date someone who actually wants to be there!

We posted at the same time so I have only just seen your update. I'm glad you're not pursuing this. At some point if you're open to it you'll meet someone that you want to date, but I'm not sure you want that? I have a friend who just isn't interested, she's happier than most of my other friends who are married!

I would be interested if I liked the person. I was with someone I liked and it was a great relationship for 10 years but sadly he passed away so that was the end of that. We discussed getting married and would be married by now. Hey ho

Does it hurt to meet once? You never know, meeting might change your mind. Dating can be for fun
