I've been dating a long time...maybe I'm not into men?

I've been dating for years and struggle to find a man who I actually really like and can build a good life with. A man on my level - smart, considerate, kind etc.

I suddenly had a thought today - maybe it's me? Maybe I'm just not into men. Maybe I'm into women? But I'm not into women in that way.

Why is it so hard? Anyone else feel the same?

Stop dating and build a social life around your hobbies and interests instead. That way, you will naturally be mixing with a variety of like-minded people, and you're more likely to find someone who enjoys the same interests as you.

Me too @datingforever. I've wondered the same thing from time to time. Problem is my life is too good to get involved in a relationship that makes it any less and I've not found anything that adds to it.

I've always been like that. I'm not into women either. I've only ever been attracted to rough old bikers nobody else. I did ride a large bike myself for years too old now but was never really into that whole lifestyle.
I find "normal" men just so boring even though I have a normal life myself.

I felt like you. In the end it turned out that I was, indeed, into women. Just took finding the right one to work that out. We are no longer together but I’ve only dated women since. Every now and then I think about dating a man - currently I know one who is keen and I really like him on every level, but just can’t imagine dtd with him.

Maybe you're into being single.

There are so many of those! In terms of numbers, you're ok! A lot of them come to bike here in Wales.
