I have. The one person I dated was abusive and eventually tried to kill me, which kind of ruined dating for me in the sense that I have no idea how it's actually supposed to work. I've quit trying to ever date people, partly because I know I have no chance with anyone, and partly because I don't actually understand it and why I would want it. I already hate kissing, and I'd feel perfectly fine cuddling with friends and having sex with people I trust to an extent (not that any of my friends will actually DO any of these things with me). I already have a lot of very close, supportive friends to whom I am very attatched, and all my emotional "love and attatchment" needs are fulfilled through them and my family (but I know that family does not replace dating). I feel like I must be missing something. What else is there to dating besides a title and the idea that other people would act differently towards me?
