Do you remember when the last time you were on a date was? I bet you were so anxious that day and you were confused about everything but yet you wanted everything to be perfect. Well, I’m sorry to burst your bubble but nothing about dating is fun or interesting, especially if you are going on a first date. You spend the whole day choosing the right outfit, making sure that it is not something too short but also not something that covers all your body. You want something that will be classy but sexy, at least by your standards. Then you go to the bathroom and stay there for 3 hours because you need to wax your entire body, put on some make-up and do your hair.

When you finish all that, you remember that you haven’t eaten anything and while you eat, you mess up all your make-up and then you need to start everything all over again. When it is time for you to go out, you put on those fancy high heels that are killing you but hey, you look so damn sexy in them, so you just put a smile on your face and leave your place satisfied because you look like a million dollars. And finally, when you get to the place the two of you decided to meet, you see that your date is nothing more than a lazy douchebag who couldn’t even take a shower and who asks you to split the bill at the end of the evening. So you just sit there and start wondering: “Why does dating suck so much?”

You don’t need to think of any answers because we already did that for you, so here we bring you the top reasons why it is better to sometimes stay at home and not bother going on dates.

1. Mucho ruido y pocas nueces

Sé que todos nos emocionamos cuando vamos en una primera cita pero nunca sabemos qué tipo de persona será nuestra cita. Podría ser alguien raro pero, por otro lado, podría ser alguien muy especial y encantador. Es como la lotería, nunca sabes si te tocará o no. Y aunque sepas todo eso, quieres representarte de la mejor manera posible, así que te esfuerzas al máximo para estar perfecta. Y cuando ves quién te está esperando en la mesa del restaurante, a menudo sólo deseas haberte quedado en casa. El tipo que se sienta a tu lado fue allí para impresionarte y acostarse contigo esa misma noche. Bueno, si pensaba acostarse contigo, al menos podría haberse duchado, ¿no?

2. Estarás nervioso y agotado al mismo tiempo

You will be nervous because no matter whether you know that person or not, you will be thinking about the outcome. Alternatively, there will be so many thoughts rushing through your head, like: “What should I say now?” or “Do I look attractive enough to him?” and you will be worn out thinking about all the things that you wanted to say to impress him but you didn’t. Also, you will be wondering if he will call you to invite you on a second date or if he doesn’t really like you. And then it gets to that awkward moment when he brings you in front of your home and you don’t know whether he wants to kiss you or not. That is all so exhausting and you would have had a better time if you had just stayed at home, covered with your favorite blanket, watching some Netflix movies.

3. Has tenido malas experiencias en citas anteriores

Cada vez que salíais en una cita, era tan raro que sólo querías huir de cada persona. La mitad de ellos te miraban toda la noche y ni siquiera intentaban hacerlo discretamente y la otra mitad querían enrollarse en el coche de camino a casa. Por no hablar de los que se creían mejores que tú y querían quedarse a dormir en tu casa. Si yo fuera tú, me limitaría a esperar a alguien normal en quien pudiera confiar y nunca jamás visitaría ningún sitio de citas. Al menos no en esta vida.

4. La gente habla mierda en las primeras citas

You probably don’t want to hear about your date’s ex-girlfriend whom he finds so damn perfect and whom he wants to get back with; sólo te está usando para superarla. Eso no es algo que una chica quiera oír en una primera cita. Quiere oír que está guapa, que es interesante y divertida y que su pareja disfruta de su compañía. Hablar de los ex no está bien visto. Y al fin y al cabo, sólo porque muchos chicos lo hagan, habrás perdido toda esperanza de encontrar alguna vez a un chico normal.

5. Actually, you don’t want to settle down

I know that you have a choice but it is very difficult to find a good partner nowadays. People cheat on their partners, they abuse them emotionally and physically and most girls are not satisfied in their relationships. So you wonder why you would be so lucky to find someone who will look at you like the apple of his eye. You need to be so damn lucky to get a man like that. Then you realize that you can’t just rush love and that it will come knocking on your door when destiny decides it is the right time for that.

6. Most guys from dating sites don’t want to meet you

La mayoría de los chicos utilizan los sitios de citas para divertirse. Es interesante para ellos cuando pueden chatear con una chica at 2 a.m. but they never want to take another step. They will just try to use you as a booty call and never ask you out. Some of them don’t look nice and they just pretend they are fuckboys while others are real fuckboys and they have one girl for every day of the week. So, in the end, you don’t see any point in dating because you know what? Las citas apestan!
