Why is dating so bad at 17?

Holy cow bud, your in for a rude awakening when you get out of college hahaha I'm 25 years old, and something you learn really quick is that girls who go to bars and clubs are NOT the types of girls you want to consider marrying. Your also not in school anymore, so you cant meet girls there. Which leaves you with work and the gym, and the occional run ins on the street where you see a girl at the grocery store, book store, best buy, ect and hope to God she's single, because 9 times out of 10 their not lol Do yourself a huge favor, and dont consider online dating. I found out a long time ago that women who are single and go online to meet men, are single for a very good reason. Meaning that there were a lot of guys who had gone out with this girl before you, and they all found out something about her that really didnt sit well with them, so they had to call it off, leaving her on a dating website waiting for the next guy who's gonna take the news just as poorly LOL. A big thing about single women in their mid 20's is that they are single for 1 reason alone, they want to live the single life, but they dont want to be alone. Meaning they still wanna go party in the city, have guys buy them drinks, flirt a little here and there, but they want you to buy them flowers, be there emotionally for them, but not question a single thing that they do. I have yet to meet a single girl on a dating website that proves this theory wrong. So my best advice to you, learn from everyone elses horrible online dating stories, and dont bother. Besides half the time they look nothing like their pictures, and the picture was taken 3 years ago when they were in amazing shape, and now they are ultra lazy and dont work out anymore, gained 30 pounds and want you to accept them for who they are lol. My advice make a lot of friends, and hang out with them often. You'll run into friends of friends who just so happen to be single, and then you can ask your friend if the girl is crazy or if she's a cool chick. Save you time and money.
