How often do you legitimately go out with the intention of finding a romantic partner?

r/

By this, I mean over the span of your single life (assuming you want to be in a relationship). I realize that everyone’s different, but maybe there will be a kind of average. I’m talking Donna Summers’ “Hot Stuff” type of things (but not necessarily sexual).

    Never. Men have always approached me so I’ve never thought to go out to find a man because they just find me, even when I didn’t want them to. Grown men started approaching me when I was a minor so that sort of showed me early on that I really shouldn’t seek men because that would make things worse for me.

    Absolutely never. I’ve gone out with the intention of making a friend and ended up with a boyfriend though.

    never and always. I don’t really go out with full intention; I go about my day like normal and expect nothing, but I realize that if I want it to happen, I need to be open to connection. I always have an eye out, if that makes sense? I am not on apps, so the old-fashioned way is all I got.

    Literally 0%. I gave up on dating about 9 years ago and figured I’d meet someone organically if it happened.

    Never. Not the relationship kind of girl lol. I like to find a lover or what the gen z’s call ā€˜situationships’ though haha.

    Whenever I leave the house I’m generally optimistic I’ll meet someone

    So I go out alone sometimes, not necessarily to find someone, but to have fun and see if I meet any people, and I have fun, but no guys ever approach me. I do so much in terms of making sure I look friendly, open, smiling, and making eye contact and it’s never happened.

    If it wasn’t for the apps, I’d be fucked. The apps have been working well for me so far, but mostly because I’m not looking for anything serious right off the bat. It doesn’t mean a relationship eventually is off the table, but it’s not like I date with the main intention being to settle down.

    Every day I do my best to look nice and cute because I always think I could meet someone special that day. Or at least make a good impression lol

    Whenever I tried, I failed miserably. I ended up landing with a guy I met through work.

    Sometimes I go out with the intention of getting laid, but never with the intention of finding a partner.

    I don’t think I’ve ever gone out with the intention of finding a partner.
