I hate dating. I did a lot on and off between my two husbands. I had no trouble finding a date but I didn't find it to be exciting. I preferred either hang out with my girlfriends or my daughter or my family or pursue my hobbies or I wished to have "the right one". Dating as an activity was my least favorite thing ever. Dating only made sense to me as means to meet the right person. I don't know anyone who actually likes "dating" as process.
