and let go of expectations.

>When I was younger, dating was a lot more fun for me.

I never really "dated" in my youth (teens through most of my 20's) had the occasional girlfriend, but was way more about getting through school and getting higher paying jobs. I actually had a fear/concern of getting a chic pregnant and winding up making things more difficult for myslef so I kept it at a distance.


>The process is less enjoyable and more frustrating. Possibly due to having to balance with all my other responsibilities.

I think it's less enjoyable when you're trying to focus on it. Staying focused on your goals and allowing the meeting of someone to happen (however it does) when it happens makes it more rewarding than frustrating IMO.


>Do you like dating? Did you ever like it, and are
>now tired of it?

Don't hate it. Like it more now as I feel I have the hang of it.

>Do you want to get married or settle down with someone

I'd like to settle down, but I can accept that that may not happen. Shit my number could be called tomorrow for all I know.


>being in a relationship a priority to you?

Being happy with myself and how I live my life are a priority

>pressured (by anyone including yourself) to settle down or to
>get married?

By myself at times, but not really pressure more like awareness

Do you think your career gets in the way of
>dating?

Nah I think it helps it
