Do you ever just get sick of being single and feel like you don't want to date at all? I am just so sick of going on awful dates that I don't want to even be in a situation where there is any pressure to meet anyone...example...my friend invited me to happy hour tonight and promised "there would be lots of cute single guys there." Well the second she said that I just didn't want to go at all...I know she means well, but I'm sick of feeling like I should be "looking" when I go out...yet at the same time, I know if I don't "get out there" and look I may never meet anyone...maybe its the fact I've never been big on small talk with strangers, but the thought of going to a bar and have everyone sizing each other up, meeting other people, etc. just deadens me. And I know myself well enough to know, if do go out, I will of course be looking--even if I don't mean to--I mean how can you stop yourself? Of course I really would like ot have a companion someday & know that he's not just going to come knocking on my door. So how do I balance the two? Right now I feel like just crawling in bed and never coming out...

I get the same feeling when someone mentions scoping out men when going out.
