Will you still date someone when you know that it won’t result in marriage

“Would You Still Choose to Date Even If You Knew It Wouldn’t Lead to Marriage?”

And if you want to expand it slightly for clarity based on the arranged marriage context:

“In a Life Headed Toward an Arranged Marriage, Would You Still Choose to Date Just to Experience It?”

Let me know if you’d like a more philosophical, emotional, or casual tone to this.

Western society is culturally different. Its law and legal rules are different. Their environment, education everything is totally different. Copying them blindly is foolishness.

Dating as a concept in India is utter stupidity. Wearing jeans, and talking in English doesn't makes us westerners.

But to answer the question - No , i will not date. why know, if i even suspect it will not proceed to marriage, i wont even talk to that date. I always view the coffee/pizza not as spending, but as an investment.

Can't relate to the AM concept since it doesn't apply to me.

However, younger me would frequently get into relationships without any considerations about marriage. Why? Well, I was young and didn't really give marriage much thought, I didn't have my priorities straight and hardly knew much about myself to begin with.

Now that I'm older, I'm more cautious about dating, I definitely look at relationships as long term investments in regards to time, mental well being, emotional availability etc. Getting into one can be easy, getting out of one is hard, and getting over one can be very difficult, especially as you get older.

So no, if I choose to date now, I have my priorities very straight and I will date to marry.

On a side-note, never ever make the mistake of dating a fwb, keep the two separate.

Yes, you never know what will happen tomorrow Even if u know someone is going to stay they might be the first to leave and someone u think will go might stay forever. Let life give you a chance to stay and who should go

Please dont do, i did the same and you’d never know how much attachment and betrayal can hurt. I had been in a relationship for 8 years with my ex with whom id thought we will eventually get married, but i kept enjoying my life, meeting people, i dont how a new person with whom i got attached is affecting me so much that i started having anxiety and panic attacks once I saw that she was using me as a side guy.. its all karma

A No from me. This is not what my idea of thos topic is.

But would not be surprised if one would want to do the same. There’s nothing that is considered taboo or things that one should or should not do.

Till the time the two involved are okay and there’s no foul play…it’s alright I guess.
