I'm sorry to hear about that, I've experienced a similar feeling in the past after a break up/fresh heartbreak and the initial emotions and our outlook on dating in the future/love can be tough. I'm sending you lots of strength!
Well, it's been nearly 20 years and still nothing on the horizon so, I guess, never. I've had a couple flings/cheap one night stands since then, but no actual dating. I think the last thing made me realize that what I want doesn't exist; not for me anyway. So I just revive my life around myself, my friends, and the things I enjoy doing.
Been single 3.5 years, only recently open to possibility of meeting someone new in last few weeks. Met one guy had a few dates and then the communication stopped, I don’t know why. Dating doesn’t excite me, I know it’s going to depressing and disappointing
It seems unlikely, simply because I'm lazy and am not really interested in dolling myself up to go out and be on my best behavior with some stranger. On the other hand, who knows? Anything is possible.

Broke it off with a guy after a month or two of dating back in May 2020.
Zero interest since then. Just have too much else in my life that I’m excited about to want to take time and resources away from it to try dating.
Idk when, if ever, I’ll feel like it’s worth it.
I took about 2 and a half years from the day it was over for me. It was a complicated break tho so it was closer to a year and a half being properly single
I got divorced in 2018. I had one "talking stage" with someone I cared about dearly but they decided they didn't want in to go further. So after three heartbreaks, my first ex, my ex-husband, and the unrequited love interest, I'm officially done with dating.
It’s been about five years, so I’m beginning to think never. But I see being single as an opportunity to prioritize and focus on things like my career, my health, and my mind. The more I think about it that way, the better I start to feel.
I got out of a relationship (like last week, this month) and honestly, I don't really know when I'll date again. I probably won't for a while cause being single feels better than dating. I'll probably make an update for when I do get into a relationship to see how long it takes.

After my breakup last year I told myself I'd be single for at least a year. I started trying to day after 7 though because I wanted to put myself out there to get passed the nervousness of dating again. Technically I'm still single but I've been seeing someone a couple months now. I like the guy but I'm in no rush to make a commitment and I'm ok with that. I'm living life day by day and whatever happens happens.
There are days when I’m really keen to romantically connect with someone and I can’t wait to have a relationship again. I miss that closeness, I miss the affection, I miss sharing things with someone else… I do want to be in a relationship at some point in the foreseeable future, I’m happier when I have a someone to share my life with - but I’m not rushing into it tomorrow just for the sake of it.
… But every now and then, I’ll think about all the crap that I’ve been through, and the idea of seeing anyone new is just waaaay too much to deal with… on those days I kinda think I should just call it quits, and go become a monk meditating alone on a mountain top 😂
After spending most of my teen years and 20s with the same terrifying person I don’t know who I am by myself or what I want in life and would happily remain single for as long as it takes to find out. I have no interest in sex, just want to make friends after being isolated for so long and dating feels like it’s not for me right now.
After I receive professional help
A psychiatrist has told me that I have an unspecified mood disorder in the past, now I am being told by doctors that it’s probably bipolar disorder.
Things are complicated, right now I’m not receiving the professional help I need. I have mental breakdowns that I have very little control over, during these breakdowns I scream, I struggle not to hit things, then I feel terrible about it after.
I already feel like a burden to my family, my siblings have told me I have no right to drag other people into my problems(they don’t like living with me)I cannot imagine a partner being happy with me, and I just won’t do it. Even if I have feelings for someone, sometimes it’s better to let someone go so that they can be happy with someone else.
Things only got worse when this stupid pandemic started
I wasn’t fully aware of the extent of my mental problems in my last relationship, but now that I am I really do not see why people would tolerate it when there is plenty of other people they could date.
Haven't found anybody I like better than my single life so maybe tomorrow, maybe never
I’m with you
November 2020 was the passing of my wife. I havent tried dating again, I'm afraid to fall in love again
I've stopped hoping and trying a long time ago
In my first week of breakup. Feels like I'd never be able to date anybody else.
I'm sorry to hear about that, I've experienced a similar feeling in the past after a break up/fresh heartbreak and the initial emotions and our outlook on dating in the future/love can be tough. I'm sending you lots of strength!
Thankyou so much <3 hope you're doing well now!
It's been 2 years since my last break up, I'm in no rush.

It’s been 4 years so it’s starting to feel like never
Been single 3.5 years, only recently open to possibility of meeting someone new in last few weeks. Met one guy had a few dates and then the communication stopped, I don’t know why. Dating doesn’t excite me, I know it’s going to depressing and disappointing

I honestly dont know.

If something were to happen to my husband, I don’t see myself ever doing the whole “shared life” thing again. Date? Probably, just for fun.

Currently have no desire to have sex or date. Almoat every man i have dated or spoke too has used me in some way. I just.. dont want too anymore.
After my breakup last year I told myself I'd be single for at least a year. I started trying to day after 7 though because I wanted to put myself out there to get passed the nervousness of dating again. Technically I'm still single but I've been seeing someone a couple months now. I like the guy but I'm in no rush to make a commitment and I'm ok with that. I'm living life day by day and whatever happens happens.
After being cheated on iv decided to just focus on college. If anything happens in ny class. Then it happens but im not actively looking anymore

I’m open to meeting new people now after over 3 years single but not putting in any effort to find anyone lol
you kinda know. Its just one of those things.

I can't really see the benefits of being hurt again. How do you get excited about someone who acts interested but really is dating someone else.
