Dont date them because youre getting pressured by family members to settle down and start a family.
Dont date them because they asked you out and youmight as wellgo along with the idea.
The only reason you should get in a relationship with someone is if youre into them.

Not what they can provide for you.
Not the person they could grow into if you push them in the right direction.
Not the fact that everyone else will stop nagging you about being single.
Loneliness isnt a good enough reason to enter a relationship.
After all, the wrong person isnt going to make you feel any better.
Instead of being lonely in your room alone, youll be lonely with another person sitting next to you.
And sometimes, that loneliness is worse.
It makes you wonder whether theres something wrong with you.
It makes you paranoid about why a connection seems to be missing.
But the reason is clear.
Youre with the wrong person, and the wrong person wont take away your loneliness.
They might distract you for a little while, but they wont solve the deeper issue at hand.
Dont date someone because youre sick of being single.
If youre sick of being single, its more productive to ask yourselfwhyits frustrating you so much.
Ask yourself how you could rid yourself of that feeling (without entering a relationship).
If you find the right person for you along the way, thats wonderful.
However, its important to be comfortable alone.
You cant let a relationship define you.
You cant let other peoples opinions of you define you.
You have to ignore the outside voices because they dont matter.
If youre feeling lonely, youre allowed to flirt with strangers if that will make you happy.
Reach out to friends.
Join a book club.
The next time youre feeling lonely, remember, a relationship might not take that feeling away.
