Dating only for marriage?

Do you believe you should only date someone whom you will marry or looking forward for a serious relationship?

Personally I would say yeah, I mean I know you wont know right away if you will want to be with that person but as soon as you know if its no, why waste your time? Especially cause maybe the one you will is around at that time.

Personally, I think that's the ultimate goal of dating is to find someone you wish to marry. Of course I wouldn't get into every relationship expecting marriage, but why waste your time if you're not going to marry them? I do believe in dating around to find what you're looking for, but again that's searching for a spouse. You can date just for fun but where will that get you in the end?

I don't think a person should date just for marriage. I think there is plenty you can learn about yourself in a relationship not meant to last. I think it would be exhausting to be in a serious relationship and jump into another one. Sometimes you just need to have fun with someone that you just don't see staying with forever. It helps to learn what you don't want in a partner when finding that one true one.

my thing is you can never date someone whom you will mary or looking forward for a serious relationship, because without dating the person just to date around you wont know if you even want to build a relationship like that with them
