What's your reason for going out with the opposite sex (...or not...)?

moved to relationships.

becus... we want to love...and to be next to them... we want comfort...

Why do people date? For one, it's to have fun with people...feel all special and whatnot...accepted. The bigger reason is to try to find your true love, or someone you want to spend the rest of your life with.

are you stating we should go out with the same sex?

HAHAHAHAHA mireh ur so funnY~~ lols...

sexual attractions my reason. LoL XD

We want to be accepted, understood, have a companion to share emotions and physical attractions, be acknowledge by the opposite, and I think because emotional release to a close person besides a family member~

Exactly. Sometimes we just want love in return, y'know?

yeah, exactly. the only thing is i never been on a date before :(

people "date", as in going to a restaurant, because they want to get to know the person more..

talk on the phone..chat online...are ways to get to know people...but to actually be up in close, only two people, doing whatever is comfortable...having a nice conversation..is why people date..i say..

or when couples date is when they want to take a break from the real world and just be together for how much time they have..

i wish my man and i could date...sadly...we`re both young..haha..

Yea, Jimmy is correct =)

For me, I date because I just want someone there to have and to hold, to be mines, and to make me feel special. I've only dated 2 other ppl besides Tony (my bf for 1 yr 4+ months) and well, they were more of.. PUPPY love sort of dating lol. Well anyhow, people date because they are attracted to one of the opposite sex (or of the same, which ever way one swings) and they just well... jus wants someone there for them. For me, I wanted someone to love, someone to hold, and someone in which I can prove my love to. Love is a powerful word, so don't say it unles syou're for sure that person is who you want to spend your life with and that you will try your hardest to be with.

I can't say that dating is exactly fun when well. I've only been on a few dates w/ my bf right now (I think um.. 5? lol less than 10, for sure!) and well it can be fun depending on who the guy is and what you guys do =P Plus, for girls, if you get scared, you can have a guy to hold onto

yes totally what jimmy said. i want someone there who'd be there for me emotionally besides my friends. and someone who care'd for me and made me feel special and wanted. cuz the greatest thing u'll ever learn is to love and be loved in return. LOL! got that from moulin rouge. lOL.

jackie

Why do I date? Umm... Mostly to get laid.. Secondly to find true love... Thirdly to find friendship.. Fourthly...Umm.. Have fun? Ya, I think thats about it.

well um the reason i guess pplz dat ish because they lyke the otha person n want to b with em

mm... I dunno. Because a lot of people date?

I dunno

because u wanna feel comfort, warmth, and security.. and to knoe that someone out tehre other than ur family cares for u just as much

That's what I wanted to say

i dont date right now (im single heheh... ) cause i justed needed a break from it all i guess. i ono... it just messed up my whole perspective on life because i got really confused and just agitated and hurt... but that doesnt change my view on dating...

the rason why people date: (or my opinion anyways)
people want to be cared for. everyone has to realize it one way or another, but everyone wants love, no matter how much they deny so. By dating, you share a common love with the opposite gender( also because of opposite gender attraction) and it is comforting to have the same common love being shared which causes a bondage like no other. this bond is helpful for the soul because it helps us go through difficult times when we need support by the other mate. also, it helps up enjoy life because we can share happiness together and share joy together as well. although this seems like a load of bs, most of it is true for many people. so there.

I guess it's because when you date, you feel appreaciated and loved. It's so fun to be with someone who's constantly making you laugh and smile.

you'll have someone there for you when your friends are backstabbers or your family just turned away or soemthing...

not that I date xD

when you know yourself and you're ready to offer what you are to another person. dating someone is a committment between someone that you are attracted to whether it be physically, mentally or emotionally.dating is a great experience and it teaches you a lot about life and you often end up learning more about yourself as well. it's a healthy part of growing up and maturing.

omg u have the words to stay stuff like this!! true relationship changes ur life and u can learn a lot of things~~ cus feelings are about relationship...wait am i confusing myself agen??? omg.... ack!!! noo!! lols... yeah feelings and emotions are about relationship... lols!! if u got the feelings and the emotionally..meaning u got a relationship...omg wat am i talkin' abot...ok i shuld get some sleep~~ lols wait 2 more left!

i thinke everyones right on why people date the opposite sex. acceptance..love..all that stuff

and as for the same sex...i think that sometimes your friends with a person so much, that you want to show how you feel and appreciate them (actually that could go for dating the opposiet sex as well )

its FUN!!! iono i love datin hehe i mean i hate bein single. its like when ur in a relationship u knoe u have someone to turn to n somethin to look forward to n someone to think bout n care bout n feel special

a reason - well i dotn know maybe its cuz we liket hat other person and wahnt tobe together withthem to have some time together i dont know lol. j/k is just to spend time and to get to know each other and also cuz we/all etc like to be witht hem =)

There's a REASON?

I think it's natural to be attracted to the opposite sex. Or the same.. whatever.

b\c it gives u a feeling that someone cares about u...we want to know that someone we care about cares back and they can show their love...

thats right! i def agree

I date people to find out how they are and if we have any interest in each other...and also how it would be if we were going out...haha....yupee

#1 (Quote by a relative) "You can't help it if you fall in love with someone."
#2 (Quote.. i duno by who) "The best thing is to love and be loved."

Personally.. being with someone makes me happy.. i have some who's there for me, will listen to me when i'm down, and keeps me company when i'm bored. I've tried not dating before.. guys start liking you and don't leave you alone.. pressure builds on you from them, school, and home. Dating gives me time to get away from all my problems and spend time with my bf/really close friend. Sometimes it's nice just to get a hug when you're down..

Word from a guy.

He's right. Guys look for sex in relationship.

I like meeting new people. I think it's one of tha few greatest things of life in general. Dating is just an opportunity to meet ppl and find that special person

to be loved... besides with firends and family.... a diiferent kind of love.... i guess so we can fun.... ooo and making out wont hurt either...

To feel like you're accepted to the world that's beyond your family. To feel a sense of security, importance, happiness and most importantly, love.
