What Happens When You Quit Dating Cold Turkey For A Year
Friends may not get it
Some friends will totally understand and respect your decision to take a break from dating. Maybe they did it themselves once and reaped the rewards. But, dating is kind of like drinking: it’s a very social thing, a lot of people do it, and it can be hard to be the only one who doesn’t do it. So when your friends ask you to go out with them (subtext: to meet guys), you…can’t. When a friend asks you to double date with a guy she met and his best friend, you…can’t. And these friends may tell you you’re no fun anymore, or that you’re ruining everything. Don’t let this pull you back in. These friends are probably slightly addicted to dating and flirting and hooking up (as you once were), and can’t yet see that about themselves.
