I Dont Believe In Dating Just For the Sake of Dating

I've really come to terms with this. I have been obsessed with falling in love all my life. Movies, television, cartoons, and the media hype up love so much. I am not saying that having a life long relationship with the love of your life is not amazing, but it shouldn't be promoted so much that people are so desperate for it and put themselves in toxic relationships consistently.
Especially at a young age, we are only beginning to understand who we are as people and what we want to do with our lives. There's so many things we don't know about the complexity of human emotions.
I went from one guy to another for a year straight. It was so fun to have mutual feelings for someone and to celebrate that until it ended. But it always ended. My goal in the beginning of those several relationships is to find a life partner, regardless if I told myself I was just casually dating or not. In the back of my mind, I knew that these guys were not long term compatible and that this "fun" with my emotions was damaging me.
Its just not worth it anymore. I am lonely as hell, but a relationship will not solve that. Short-term romance is not what I'm built for.

I've feel a relationship is overrated... A human will see a bunch of people and obviously have feelings for more than one. What a relationship does is restrict both people to each other and take away their freedom... I had one once, it didn't feel right, having to be with one person for life or for a long time...

@ThatOneMan then you where not made for a relationship.
@Virtually Never said I was, never believed I was. If you love somebody... Why would you take away their personal freedom and make yourself their only priority?

@ThatOneMan because that's true love. If you both do the same for one another it's love.
@Virtually Well, maybe I really don't understand love then, but I'm always going to see it as a prison more than anything

@ThatOneMan true love is a prison you want to lock your self into and throw away the key because you feel there is no one else you would rather be with than that person you love.
@Virtually And once fed up you have no way out

@ThatOneMan I mean I have friends I definitely plan on spending my entire life with. A relationship that can do that too would be cool, but it is not needed.
@Lazerspirit If somebody can actually do a lifelong relationship, good for them, they proved only one person is necessary in their life
