I’m a 24-year-old woman with no children, working in my second job out of college. I’m trying to focus on my career, and have been looking for a new, better paying job in a bigger city. I hope to move soon. Should I not date anyone during my last few months here? I don’t want to get emotionally attached to anyone and don’t want to hurt anyone, but I don’t want to stay cooped up at home every night. I see nothing wrong with making new friends. Would it be pointless or selfish of me to go out on dates??
Its not selfish to make new friends and you dont have to sit at home all the time. You can have a girls or boys night out and have fun meeting people. Just remember that you are leaving a few months. Its ok to hangout with the ones you meet, just dont pass the imaginary line. If you began to have feelings for that person then you need to back off. That means stop hanging out and possible ignore the person. Remember your feelings come first and its not selfish. Its normal because its your life. Now go out and have fun. Good luck with your new life where ever you end up. - DREAMER
As long as you are honest from the get-go about your intentions to move soon with your new friends, it’s not bad to meet and hang out with new people. Honesty is always best, and if you feel that you can emotionally handle spending time with someone without getting too attached or getting hurt when you move, and that person expresses the same, then socialize all you want. - TARA
